Email self-hosting

Is the prevailing advice still not to bother with self-hosting email?

From someone who never stopped: YES.

99.95% spam, and no amount of filters and training can do as good a job as Gmail (as much as I hate and would like to get away from Gmail)

I want to turn it off so bad, but fomo, that one email from that one person I knew 25 years ago who only has that email address ... fml.

Proxmox Clusters worth it?

Yes, yes, yes, yes. For the tiny amount of overhead, even the remote console is worth it. Especially when you get into crazy "omg I have so much hardware" homelab territory and have stuff strewn over half your home. Being able to rely on Proxmox being pretty rock solid (if you're careful and smart about your upgrades and not constantly insisting on running bleeding edge), and being able to access the consoles and 'reset buttons' of all your VMs from a single computer is AMAZING.

What Happens if a Domain Registrar Goes Down?

Reply in thread

Correct, but not the whole story.

If your registrar goes down, and you have your authoritative DNS anywhere else, then literally nothing happens. They just register the domain for you and give you an interface to pass your 'glue' records up to the TLD root servers.

If those glue records point to on-site DNS, or anything that is not your registrar's DNS servers, then your registrar being down is inconsequential other than that you would not be able to update your glue records, or renew your domain.

A separate question of "what happens if my authoritative servers go down", is answered above.

The two are not one in the same, though they can be.

Reprimand housing minister over Greenbelt land swap: Ontario integrity watchdog

Forget resigning ... these people need to be put in jail.

This shit is just going to continue, forever, as it has my entire life, until we have and enforce REAL penalties for this kind of crap.

You can go to jail for doing similar things in the private sector ... I'm unsure which should be held to a higher standard tbh, but they should at least be in the same ballpark ... not this "you should resign." "no." bullshit.
