I need to re-ip both of my proxmox hosts and ran into a wall due to quorum. This could get me over that hump.

That being said, it was a failed experiment to put them in a cluster. I don't use any of the cluster functionality and would love to destroy the cluster config w/o having to rebuild the proxmox hosts.

I keep seeing people say this but I've yet to encounter it even once. I fully believe it happens with non-com/net/org TLDs but I've been using my .org as my daily driver for 2 decades and have never had it rejected or denied.

My mistake was using Google but when it was just the ability to have a personal domain as your google account. But they kept expanding and morphing that into what is now Google Workspace. Migrating people off of that requires them to abandon their Google accounts and start over. If it was just email it would be a much simpler prospect to change backends.

How do people feel about Garuda? I put it on a laptop to try it out. I'm still undecided.

Everyone's saying fstab but if Navidrome is in a docker container, just mount it as a volume on your container. I found this guide that seems to document it fairly well.

This is how I'm handling NFS mounts in my docker stacks.

And you don't have quorum issues any time a system is down. (I regret making mine a cluster.)

I've been using Wiki.js since I asked this question a few months ago. I've been pretty happy with it. Stores data in text files using markdown and can synchronize a number of backends. I've got mine syncing to a private github repo.

I get told by web forms regularly that my email is not a valid address and even people that got my email written on a piece of paper have replaced the .email with .gmail.com cause “that couldn’t be right”…

That's the thing that holds me back from a non-standard TLD, as much as I'd love to get a vanity domain.

I've got a .org I've had for over 20 years now. My primary email address has been on that domain for almost as long. While I don't have problems with web-based forms, telling people my email address is a chore at best since it's not gmail, outlook, yahoo, etc...

I set this up a couple years ago but I seem to remember AWS walking me through the initial setup.

First you'll need to configure your domain(s) in SES. It requires you to set some DNS records to verify ownership. You'll also need to configure your SPF record(s) to allow email to be sent through SES. They provide you with all of this information.

Next, you'll need to configure SES credentials or it won't accept mail from your servers. From a security standpoint, if you have multiple SMTP servers I would give each a unique set of credentials but you can get away with one for simplicity.

Finally you'll need to configure your MTA to relay through SES. If you use postfix here's a quick guide: https://medium.com/@cloudinit/sending-emails-with-postfix-and-amazon-ses-2341489a97e2

I've got postfix configured on each of my VPS servers, plus and internal relay, to relay all mail through SES. To the best of my knowledge it's worked fine. I haven't had issues with mail getting dropped or flagged as SPAM.

There is a cost, but with my email volumes (which are admittedly low) it costs me 2-3 cents a month.

I've been successfully using SES for a couple years now without issue.

I'll second not self hosting email unless you're in it for the experience.

I'd also strongly caution against hosting email for friends and family unless you want to own that relationship for the rest of your life.

If you do it anyway, you're going to end up locked into whatever solution you decide for a long time, because now you have users who rely on that solution.

If you still go forward, don't use Google (or msft). Use a dedicated email service. Having your personal domain tied to those services just further complicates the lock in.

(I did this over a decade ago, with Google, when it was just free vanity domain hosting. I've been trying for years to get my users migrated to Gmail accounts.)

If I had it all to do over again. I'd probably setup accounts as vanity forwards to a "real" account for people who wanted them. That's easy to maintain, move around, and you're not dealing with migrating peoples oauth to everything when you want to move or stop paying for it.

Didn't even occur to me to ask what your upload bw was. That makes sense.

I mean, that's about 500,000 more than they currently employ. It'll be good for the economy.

This sounds like a stability horror show. Has that really worked out well for you?

I've been happy with https://github.com/everywall/ladder

This one brings back memories. My mom and I used to play it in my NES when I was a kid.

I mean don't people already spout this crap?

I always find this conversation fascinating and it makes me wonder in what other ways people may experience the world differently.

I do have a constant internal monologue. Every word I read is spoken in my mind. My thought process is, to my awareness, me talking things out in my head.

Remember sites like stumble-upon? I want the Internet that enabled THAT back.

I didn't know how this tool is supposed to work but it always fails for me but my instance appears to be working ok.
