Wasn’t there something a few months ago about Microsoft handing out secret API calls to developers of other antivirus products so they can quietly disable Defender during the installation of their product? Some guy had this reverse engineered from an installer…

The usual ones are RoundCube and SnappyMail (which is a fork of deprecated RainLoop). I’m hosting SnappyMail to access my Dovecot when no other mail client is handy.

Was that an answer from ChatGPT?

Yes, I’ve set WATCHTOWER_RUN_ONCE and run it manually (letting it download and automatically apply the updates) when I find time. In the rare case something breaks, I can fix it immediately or roll back the broken container by setting the label to the previous version.

How does it compare to Adminer?

I’ve just set WatchTower to one-shot runs and whenever I have some time to fix eventual issues, I start the WatchTower container, it’ll pull any updates and stop again. No need to mess with my compose files (all set to latest) and no need for pull requests or similar.

UberSpace. Managed hosts, but you get SSH access and they have a manual for the basics as well as user-contributed guides for specifics.

It’s ran by nerds and the only limit is your allotted disk space (10GB by default). Unlimited email accounts, unlimited aliases, etc.

“Pay what you can afford” model starting at 5€/month.

Exactly! I add a random string to each email address, too, so you can’t just guess other addresses. So, it’s usually something similar to lemmy-r4nd0m@mydomain.me. And, whenever a breach happens, I’ll generate a new random part and set that as my email address and invalidate the old one. Until the next breach. (Looking at you, LinkedIn…)

Be aware that some countries make you liable for what people post on your forum.

Also, have you looked at Discourse? There are some nice apps that work with it and make the experience on mobile slightly better.

My email provider allows for unlimited aliases. So, while I have 600+ email addresses, emails to them all end up in the same mailbox.

The accounts for all the websites and services (with their specific email address) are in a KeePass database and they all have random passwords, too.

The only small issue is when you have to contact support of some service. Then, I have to configure the specific email address in my client so they can match that to my account with them. But most email clients allow multiple sender addresses without having to fiddle with the rest of the settings.

I don’t remember whether it was some news article or a discussion thread. But other people also suggested this might help during therapy and/or rehab. And they had the same argument in that nobody gets harmed in creating these.

As for uses outside of controlled therapy, I’d be afraid it might make people want the “real thing” at some point. And, as others already pointed out: Good luck proving to your local police that those photos on your laptop are all “fake”.

This vulnerability made it possible to collect user data simply by knowing someone’s email address or phone number.

Another example of where it pays off to have separate email addresses/aliases for every website/service you use.

If I interpret this toot correctly, there wasn’t a direct commit from a sanctioned region, but one developer was in one of those regions for a short while quite some time ago. And he may have been flagged because of this.

That’s why I self-host SearXNG. And have enabled several other “underdog” search engines like Mojeek and Marginalia. On my devices I’m using Redirect Web for Safari to send any search request to Ecosia (configured in my Safaris) to my SearXNG instance. Works great for me!

“European Starlink rival” is a bit far fetched when there’s merely rumours that they might be able to offer a similar service. But that’s the stock market for you.

Unless you’re using outdated server software, there’s nothing inherently insecure with exposing ports to the Internet. Be it port 80 or 443. Just keep everything up to date and maybe add fail2ban to stop people poking around.

I’ve got the same Geekworm cases for all my Raspberries. Added some extra thermal pads in some strategic places and have them all without any active cooling at room temperature (20-21℃). They barely go over 55℃:

The 3B+ has soft-throttling (can be disabled) starting at 60℃, full throttling at 70°C. The 4 starts throttling at 80℃ and the 5 at 85℃. So, with that completely passive cooling I’m still far away from these margins. No need for any moving parts that will make noise at some point in the future.

Also, since the cases have ribs on both sides, I have my Pis standing upright to hopefully make use of the stack effect - which might contribute to the slightly lower than OP’s values.

You can even use it to do the SSL part for a local non-SSL IMAP server. And, there’s a CrowdSec middleware as well, that will block blacklisted IPs.
