Yes, you can do it on a VPS much cheaper. But this is your outgoing email authorized by DKIM... an attacker can use it to take over most of your accounts via Forgot Password flow. I think it is a false economy to have that depend on a shar

Incoming email is simple, MTAs have no problem at all delivering to residential IPs if that's what your MX says. So ideally you should run your own postfix + dovecot at your premises and point your MX to that. You have to take additi

If you can't continue to provide and maintain the v1 API backend because its approach and assumptions were chosen badly, that's also a way to fail. HN is full of 100% black or 100% white theses that are the equivalent of guerning

This is a case where you really have to read the (single) comment visible below the article, which negates the whole article.

"Can't be trusted"... what was it you thought this free service Microsoft paid $8bn for should be "trusted" with? You can trust your selfhosted infrastructure as far as it goes. But even then if the country you liv

The canonical firmware is the BIOS, I was pleasantly surprised when Fedora updated the BIOS on my Dell XPS device by itself recently... historically that has been somewhere between a nuisance (Reboot and then UEFI network update), a struggl

If you look at it in the context of Musk 2024 you should probably care about it, given what trump did with twitter.

If they are your personal client, consider farming the task out to someone who works in that area and tell the client that's how you plan to handle it. They can decide to accept the extra bill or find another way. If you're a wag

It's a good article on a good topic, but there is no mention of Fedora / Redhat. I don't think they are immune to the same problems, but for common packages, they are highly likely to be way more on top of it than Debian &#x

It's not a good idea to mix work done on employer devices with work done on your home devices, for the employer there's a security problem and for the employee a bad employer may lay claim to everything you do on your home compute

Sounds like the job just treated devs as replaceable, identical "units", but the author comes across as an individual. The management would hate any sign of life from the "units".

No... they are making their own FPGA by fabbing their own ASIC. I agree it's confusing but it is what they called it. It's like an old Xilinx 2064 with a risc-V added on top, except the chip itself is OSSHW, not just the board.
