Do you then also proceed to install the client 20 times? Or do you constantly log in and out? Sounds like a hassle that federation would solve!

Take a look at Kavita for selfhosting bools!

Kagi lenses “focus” the search. So normal web search definitely can contain fediverse results, but with the lens switched on, you ONLY get fediverse results.

Named mine after “objects” from Iain M. Banks’ Culture Novels.

Currently I have:

• gsv
• hub
• excession
• drone

Nice and short, and map roughly to the “power level” of the hardware, so to speak.

And my Yubikeys are named after Special Circumstances agents 😄

I’m sorry, but have you never had actual Cheddar?

If you are at all familiar with / interested in NixOS, there’s Jovian-NixOS which essentially duplicates the SteamOS experience 1:1 (much more closely than, say, Bazzite imo), but allows you to easily switch to a different desktop environment like Gnome with just a single config option.

You can also selfhost sync!

You can also just selfhost Firefox sync!

Is it? If it wasn’t printed on the bottom, would you really be able to guess Ctrl+X, Y, Enter any easier than colon, q, Enter?

No

Nano is easier to get into, but far more limited.

Fuck off troll.

Literally every single German old enough to remember life in the DDR that I know (which aren’t exactly few - I am German) recounts that time with terror.

In my entire life, I have not met a single person alive back then who wants to go back to the DDR. There’s no notalgia, only painful memories.

In that case I can really highly recommend it. Nixos on the server is fantastic anyways, and the only hurdle to recommending simple-nixos-mailserver is that most people are not familiar with nix… 😄

It’s a bit unconventional maybe, but I vote simple-nixos-mailserver - IF you are curious / willing to learn nix. It’s essentially just sanely configured dovecot, postfix, rspamd.

My config for those three combined is about 15 lines, and I have never had an issue with them. Slap on another 5-10 lines for Roundcube as a webmail client.

Since it’s Nix, everything is declarative, so should SOMETHING happen to the server, you can be up and running again super quickly, with the exact same setup.

Yep, that’s right. In theory you could share the encrypted DB with the public and not degrade security. (Still don’t do that though…)

Is this some peasant meme I am too NixOS to understand?

(Joking, joking. A good system settings center is important for graphically managed distros.)

Meh. Each service in its isolated VM and subnet. Plus just generally a good firewall setup. Currently hosting ~10 services plubicly, never had any issue.

Did all that, minus the no ssh root login (only key, obviously) plus one failed attempt, fail2ban permaban.

Have not had any issues, ever

All of them if you configure it?

We were talking about SwiftKey
