  • I have a domain with one of the new TLD which I used for my emails.

    Most services worked fine with it, but there were a few cases where my email was flagged as fraudulent and I had to call, explain it was legit and provide with another email.

    There was one service I registered which explicitly said they oy accept gmail addresses.

    Roughly one year ago I acquired a new domain using the .org extension, I am migrating my accounts to this one, and I havent had any problems so far.

    So overall my conclusion is that most services are fine with custom emails, a few of them block based on TLD and an even smaller subset will allow only specific providers. Since I am moving alway from big corp, having a widely used TLD that seems to be accepted in most cases is my personal sweet spot.


  • Have you played around with Grafana? It really is quite simple if you have prometheus already working.

    For a home lab environment you dont even need to use prometheus-alertmanager. Grafana can handle alerts as well.

    Grafana also has hundreds of pre-made dashboards you can import. Node monitoring is quite straightforward.

    Assuming you have prometheus good to go, all you need to do is go to Grafana - Datasources, create a new datasource, point to your prometheus instance.

    Then you can import the dashboards you want.

    Now you can setup your alerts - you can use SMTP, telegram, slack among others for your notifications.



  • Couldnt agree more.

    It is a roleplaying game after all. Conflict resolution can even be fun if the players are into it.

    For longer campaings with a set group of friends we dont even start the campaing with “all PCs are friends”. I just make them meet and tie their interests together so they kinda have to work together. Friendships develop over time.

    But I would never, under any circumstance, allow for bullying or teasing even among characters.

    I guess since in many cases you do actually need to roll a dice, like when peeforming a touch or ranged touch spell, people just assume it always happens.

    And even in this case. Cure wounds is a spell like any other and it is subject to a will saving throw. So to be correct the pc that was targeted by the spell would indeed roll in order to save from the unintended heal - but thats really just assuming the spell could be used like this, which in my interpretation it cannot.

    So again, even if the caster rolls no dice in this case, the target could. I think this leads to people thinking there must always be a roll.

    Edit: fix paragraphs









  • From what I can tell, not much. They use dashes “-” instead of pluses “+”.

    But neither of these two options provide you with much privacy. Plus addresses, as others have pointed out, can be automatically stripped (just delete everything after the plus sign) and you get the real email behind it.

    This service specifically I dont know the details, but it seems there is a unique prefix per user, but no “real email”. So for instance if you use gmail you can have “[email protected]” as your real email. You then use “[email protected]” for your lemmy account. If that email gets leaked out somehow, people can easily tell your real email address is “[email protected]

    This service seems to do something very similar with the difference there is no base email, so there isnt a “[email protected]”, there will only be “[email protected]”. It is worth pointing out you might still be tracked because all your emails will be prefixed with “sunny”. So although spammers wont be able to figure out your real email address they can just try something like “[email protected]”, and if multiple of your addresses leak it will be easy to link them all up to the same person.

    This also creates A LOT of lock in. Because if the service shuts down you now have dozens of services for which you don’t have means to access the emails anymore.






  • Thank you for your reply!

    Personally I am fine with nginx configuration, at least when using containers. The syntax is fine and all I need to do is map one file into the container

    But I took a look at the automatic cert feature and wow, that is very, very nice. I may give caddy a try for this feature only - it would simplify my current setup.

    I am also surprised it allows using HTTPS over port 443 for cert renewal. I didnt even know this was possible, so I was always stuck with DNS challanges.

    So again, thanks for your reply!
