Show HN: Everything I learned in the past 2 years
- dorianm 10y agoThis is great!
- marco1 10y agoThank you! If only a single person finds something helpful there, it has been worth the effort already. So that's what I hope will happen. Apart from that, writing down things you've learned for yourself is pretty useful in general, as well.
- dozzie 10y agoSorry to break it to you, but there are things you got wrong. The first thing I opened, "IT operations", and the very top item is false.

I would have been surprised if this was different! > The first thing I opened, "IT operations", and the very top item is false. You seem to be talking about the SMTP ports, right? What do you suggest instead? Port 465 with SSL/TLS and only as a secondary solution 587 with STARTTLS? The current statement was based on [1] which recommends not to use port 465 but instead only 587 with STARTTLS. Granted, with STARTTLS, you have some additional attack vectors.
