How reliable is it to self host SimpleLogin, AnonAddy (addy), etc? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[โ€“] adonis@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'm not that concerned about receiving, since I was able to send a mail with swaks and it came through in proton.

So, the forwarding system is basically like running an own mailserver, right?

I checked out addy too, but SL and their browser extension seem just more feature rich.

I have a private @gmail and a business @company.com (also via gmail), which I heavily rely on. Due to a recent data-leak somewhere, I'm now receiving unstoppable spam on my @gmail, and decided to set up a new account on proton and ditch @gmsil in favor of @example.com. I came across SimpleLogin, and thought that I could use that instead of protons custom domain feature for both @company.com and @example.com

Since I also host some stuff myself, I went through the self-hosting process of SimpleLogin, which was a pita dealing with postfix. But now, everything is running fine and I can send/receive @exampke.com emails, which I tested with @gmail and @company.com (gmail).

Even though it was a nice learning experience, I'm starting to wonder whether my setup is future proof and reliable, especially when it comes to spam. I really don't want my @company.com mails to land in customers spam folders.

So my question is, how reliable is a self hosted email-forwarding solution, and how does it compare with a self-hosted mail service. Like, are these two equal in terms when it comes to precautions etc?

Do any of you use Raspberry Piโ€™s ? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[โ€“] adonis@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I wanted to reuse one for octoprint, but it turned out to be unreliable. So I switched to my NUC instead.

I have the feeking that those SD cards just don't perform well and wear out more easily, and I really use good ones.

Is it just me, or are conspiracy theories trending right now? (kbin.social)
 

I'm using instagram to browse the discover feed mindlessly sometimes. I know, it's stupid, but I'm bored.

At some point a short video about conspiracy showed up, so I hang in there and watched it.

After mindlessly scrolling through the feed, more and more conspiracy stuff started showing up.

Also, a few days before, the coridor crew on YT uploaded a vlog how they made a fake video go viral.

And then there's the fuzz about the whistleblower, etc... resulting in many other YT videos referencing aliens, etc.

FWIW, I'm not actively searching for conspiracy topics, etc... it's just that I've noticed a trend rising up, and I can't be the only one, can I ?!

In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[โ€“] adonis@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Something similar in German is if a verb ends with "st" followed by "du" (you), it's squashed down to "-stu" ...

from a song "Sag mal, weinst du oder ist das der Regen..." becomes "weinstu"

"hast du" ..."hastu"

Why can't we have a unified API across the fediverse to use in mobile apps? (kbin.social)
 

Is there a reason why all the services, that use the ActivityPub protocol don't have a unified API?

None of the mastodon apps allow me to log in with a lemmy/kbin account.

Also none of the lemmy apps allow me to log in with a kbin account.

Even though kbin has both mastodon (microblogging) and lemmy (threads, communities) functionality.

Also, Pixelfed recently introduced "login with Mastodon", but all it really does is just create a new user on it's instance and copy over the mastodon followers and profile info.

Why can't we just have one account to rule them all?

How should we deal with similarly named communities? (kbin.social)
 

Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse.

"fediverse@xxx", "Linux@xxx", "asklemmy", "askkbin"..etc...

I'm on kbin and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use the fediverse more productively, by reaching the largest amount of people for asking questions, solving problems, simply put: to engage... like I used to do on Reddit?

Be patient! We'll get there eventually. (kbin.social)
 

I see a lot of comments pointing out bugs and saying something along the lines like "they need to fix this ASAP, otherwise... something something".

As a software developer myself (not in the fediverse), I can tell you one thing:

Keep in mind that all of this literally escalated pretty quickly, and no one was prepared for that. What started out as a hobby project of some enthausiasts, quickly turned into a high demand over the course of a few days.

Having hundreds of enthusiasts use a software is different than having thousends of "average" people using it. 100 users won't detect many bugs, and if they do, they're more tolerant since they know it's all volunteering. But thousands of users will detect even more bugs that no one bothered to deal before.

Once the userbase grows and the demands are clear enough, this should be tackled, eventually.

So yeah, hang in there.

I wrote my own streaming app for Android TV. Do you want me to open source it? (kbin.social)
 

I've been using my own streaming app for the past few years now.

I decided to rock my own thing because of the following reasons. Since many of the existing ones are closed source, you never know what data is collected. Kodi is fine, but I prefer nice UIs to browse my favorite content. And lastly, I'm a passionate developer.

The app consists of 3 parts:

  • the TV app itself
  • a backend service to fetch data from trakt/tmdb
  • a backend service for openscrapers (real debrid)
  • external player of choice (nova, vlc, ...)

To get it up and running, you'd need to run the two backend services on your own server and install an external player like Nova, since it doesn't provide a built-in player.

Would you guys be interested in it so I make my repos publicly available?
