How did you justify paying $6,000/year for a dedicated IP address? SES will provide you with the same thing for $25/month ( https://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/#Amazon_SES_Pricing ). I noticed your statisti

Thanks! In my personal experience, I've had success delivering to the inboxes of Gmail, Outlook, and Zoho Mail with SES. However, my newsletter is entirely opt-in on my website. When I signed up for SES, there was a human review as to

Oh, nice! I recall Reddit did support RSS at one point, I didn't realize they limited it. rss2newsletter is only ~300 lines of code right now and I'd prefer to keep it more on the minimal side of things. But, that's definitel

For sure, converting feeds into emails in that direction is something I've seen as a sticking point for a lot of projects. I'm glad I could fill that gap for you.

Hey, this looks fantastic! I really appreciate minimal software that does what it sets out do well without bloat. I noticed that your GitHub README states "Collect Emails: Create your simple mailing list". It just so happens that

This looks like an interesting take on email marketing. I use an open source solution called Listmonk (w/ Amazon SES) for my emailing needs. How does this project compare?

Thank you! I'm glad to hear my project is working well for you on the upcoming Qubes R4.1 (currently untested by myself). To the best of my knowledge, no official QWT build exists yet for R4.1, so yes, building it yourself is the way t

I'm not sure the exact details of your hardware problems but you may want to try out Qubes R4.1 when it's released (or the RC1 version now). It will ship with a fully updated base hypervisor and kernel feature set thus granting su

Qubes supports VM suspension so if you wanted to you could easily create a simple shell script to suspend and resume upon the Windows VM window becoming minimized and reopened. You could use `xprop -spy <window_id>` to check the windo

I also faced this problem with the low selection of resolutions to choose for the Windows desktop with my ultrawide 3440x1440 screen. No worries, it was easily overcome with a simple modification to SeaBIOS, see here: https://gro

Wow, I was unaware such hardware virtualization extensions currently existed in such mature form for GPUs. Really unfortunate that they've been lost to the avarice of two tech giants which have a duopoly over the GPU market.

If you're referring to GPU passthrough, then yes, in practice much better with AMD cards then Nvidia cards.

Thanks! GPU virtualization is a very difficult thing to do securely, I think VirtualBox said it best in their hardware 3D acceleration documentation ( https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0&#x

My pleasure! That feature is currently in the works (officially speaking) for Windows 10; for Windows 7 it already exists (although it has of course been EOL for some time now). However, I do recall finding a report of someone successfully

By GUI virtualization, I was referring to the way Qubes handles receiving graphical updates (e.g. windows) from the VM and sending events (e.g. mouse clicks) to the VM. The Qubes GUI protocol is like VNC or RDP but much, much more secure:

You're in luck, there exists exactly what you're looking for. It's called the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), see here: https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/

I'm aware hardware support on Qubes has been problematic for some users. Luckily, it's looking to get a lot better with the up-and-coming Qubes R4.1 (currently on it's first release candidate). It will be shipping with a full

You're starting to get the idea: Qubes OS assumes that it's impossible to ensure every single application you will be running on your computer is secure. Therefore, the best way to secure your computer is to isolate all of the app

Email in general is an antiquated technology for which security came as an afterthought. If you want to use your PGP key to chat securely with others you could try Keybase.

A developer's PGP key would be a good example. PGP keys are used by git to sign commits and tags. Plus, they're stored in the home directory so they may very well be accessible to a rouge package in the event of a supply chain att
