  • No, comercial IPs are fine. You'll have trouble with some of them - Digital Ocean is a notorious example - where the provider itself blocks outbound port 25 and there's nothing you can do. I think DO only does that for new accounts.

    I myself am running it on Linode - it did get purchased by Akamai a couple of years ago, so I can no longer blindly recommend it - but so far it's been working fine. One thing I did recently discover was the ability to request a /56 block on Linode - my pre-assigned IPv6 got blacklisted somewhere as at least the whole /64 and simply generating another IP from the same /64 did not help. Getting a fresh block solved it for me, though, and now I know that if this /56 gets blacklisted - it's my fault. Unless, of course, I get caught up in a /48... 😳

  • You won't be able to host email on a residential IP - all of them are on a permanent blacklist. I understand the money argument - and it's a real argument - but host your own email is just so cool!

  • And the other time I thought to myself - hey, let's be nice! And so I was nice. The driver in the car in front kept reading whatever he was reading on his bloody phone and nobody moved till next light :)

  • Yea, exploding heads made the rounds a couple of times, but after actually checking them out it became clear it's run by a teenager surrounded by other 10-15 teenagers. A few main instances blocked it and it died. The main teenager then started hilarious chaos as a whitelist-only instance, but because it did not attract anyone - federation was reenabled at some later point.

    There's a difference between a couple of edgy teens and a big set of ideological morons who keep causing trouble.

    Defederation is a nuclear option - at the time user-level blocking was not a thing; nowadays it's not a problem.

    TL;DR - freedom of speech as much as possible, with limits when it becomes necessary.

  • It's trickier, but not impossible. Lemmyverse.net is a good starting point for community search

  • I'm impressed!

    I'm in this picture and I like it!

    Gentoo gang represent!

  • What has worked for me quite well over the last few years was answering the phone without saying anything. Spammers usually are dead silent as it's just a voice recognition bot waiting for a "hello" or similar and hang up within a couple of seconds if nothing is said. Regular people have "static" most of the time. I've had a few recruiters call while having their mic on mute, but they start talking themselves fairly quickly.

  • Not OP. I guess it depends on the frame of reference. Comparing to other inefficient methods it might seem OK :)

  • Testing this hypothesis on your comment.

  • I only have the indoor one, but Reolink is fine. Used it as a baby cam. No cloud bs, supports an rtsp stream. App has gone downhill, but due to rtsp I sort of don't care.

  • I don't use voyager, but worst case - you could just use a browser.

    Does this link work? irc

  • I don't, but I could probably come up with one next weekend.

  • I roll my own. Postfix, dovecot, spamassasin and dmarc friends. Easy to setup? No. But takes about an hour/year of my time to maintain once the ball is going.

  • Thanks!

  • What game is that?

  • Maybe a silly question, but are the rings locked to Saturn's rotation axis? I.e. is it the rings that tilted or both rings and planet?

  • Not a direct answer, but any distro can be immutable if running on some CoW filesystem like BTRFS. Even That's not a prerequisite, as such, but it does makes things so much easier.
