   Throughout my life I have found that hard times like what you describe are often the best motivator to start something new. This is an OPPORTUNITY my friend, so don't guess, just get out there and DO. :-)

   Strange, might be an edge case, I tried and it worked for me.

   I think this has potential for a certain target audience. Not a criticism, but feedback: if I stumbled on this site I'd have no idea what it was about based on the current landing page. Will you be adding an intro/description abou

   There are pros and cons. Some self-hosting PROs are that you can add essentially unlimited mailboxes and new domains without paying more in monthly fees. Have a new weekend startup idea? Set up your emails yourself for 0 additional mail hos

   All good advice, thanks! It's daunting as 'an old' to make a switch like this. I've gone from RSTS/E to TRS-80s to CP/M to MS-DOS to Desqview/Windows and pretty much stuck with Windows since then. It'

   Thanks for the feedback. I also neglected to mention that I still use POP on many of these accounts to store/control my emails locally.

    It's interesting. When I was younger (and more active as an amateur astronomer) we used a homemade blink comparator to hunt for asteroids/minor planets, which works on this same principle. Do you have the source links for these to

    I am by no means a professional audio engineer, but I p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶T̶V̶ am a lifelong audio enthusiast, so these are my clearly my opinion, but: I once did an experiment recording a solo piano concert in a beautiful music hall.

    Based on experience, I would say that the most critical part of that chain is the recording technique and quality, followed closely by the audio reproduction. To get the most amazing, lifelike experience you are seeking, however, (and in m

    Looking at a recent email I received from them, it appears to originate from o26.email.robinhood.com, which resolves to 149.72.71.69, which in turn (per ARIN) belongs to Sendgrid. Other emails I've received vary in the first portion of

    I've mentioned this before (on HN) but I will say it again... Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovksy was one of the best books I've read in recent years. Since you asked, one of the main characters is an AI.

    Thanks. Already have SPF and DKIM. These are not spoofed emails being sent out from the domain. This is someone out there who is going to websites and signing up for stuff and using an email address that does not exist at my domain. My gues

    Thank you for this! Based on your recommendation of Lem's "Fiasco" I have purchased "This is How You Lose the Time War". I had not heard of this one and it sounds excellent!

    Agreed. I mentioned that it is 'imaginative and fun', but it is not the same style of "The Martian" which (in my opinion) had nearly perfect technical execution. I admit to having had some apprehension about a loved auth

    The one that sticks in my head the most (and which I did not think I would enjoy based on the book jacket blurb) is "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I highly recommend to anyone who listens. I also recently encountered &q
