FWIW, I use forwardemail.net. Been using them a few years and haven't had any issues. They've got a free plan but you have to put your email in the public DNS record, or $3/mo to keep your email private.

Not affiliated, just a happy customer. The biggest issue now is that my email addresses always confuse humans. They're always like "Your email address is MyCompany@YourDomain.com?" And I'm like yes... I don't work for your company, that's... I don't really want to explain this.

I have the same "confuse humans" problem. I use CloudFlare to forward ${company}@accounts.${me}.com to a personal GMail. I've had a limited number of cases where the sender will accept the address, but internally fail to send to it, Costco being one of them (the person in-store at Costco couldn't get over the address)

not to be rude, but vaultwarden setup is fairly straightforward for an advanced user:

1. Point your domain's DNS to server

2. Run a reverse proxy with LetsEncrypt integration (Caddy, NGINX Proxy Manager, Traefik, etc)

3. Run the Docker command

Plus backups, which you want to ensure are solid for data like this.

Wait, no, false alarm. I remember this happened before COVID. The first thing I remember having trouble remembering was the name of the game "Signalis". That was like a year ago. I'm mid thirties. So it's not COVID, I'm just demented. What a relief!! I should play Signalis again...

Late 20s, same thing. I am constantly forgetting words for things, but can visualize what it's describing in my head.

When were you sick? March 2020 here and while cognitively I have been ok, my heart and lungs are all messed up. Four years, three primary doctors, five cardiologists, over a dozen tests and still no real answers. I tested as borderline COPD, given an inhaler and my lung tests improved dramatically, well into healthy range. However even with the inhaler I still get that "air hunger" sensation and the feeling like I cannot get a full breath in.

Oddly I got COVID this past July and most of my heart/lung symptoms disappeared the day before being sick, and did not return until a week or two after I recovered. I have heard this before in the LC community going back years.

Jan 2022 for me. I also have the "air hunger" sensation, but it comes in spurts. I was also perscribed an inhaler, and have used it a few times, but it doesn't seem to have much of an impact.

Another Caddy fan here. I've used it for the past year or two since I started getting into homelabs, and it works great.

Well my main and newest PC is a Thinkpad W541, it is 11 years old. It is plenty powerful and I expect it to be useful for at least another 10 years. All I did was replace the HDD with a SDD a few years ago.

There is no real reason to buy a New Laptop these days and to me, many people buy new just to get the latest OS from Microsoft or Apple. They claim "slowdown" is the issue for buying new, but mostly it is cruft those Operating Systems builds up over time.

With Linux or a BSD, you will see how a real OS is suppose to run.

If you do buy new, make sure it is user upgradeable. For example, memory is not soldered onto the board, hard disk (HDD/SDD) can be replaced.

I feel exactly the same way. My main machine is an 11 year old IdeaPad with a 4th Gen i7, 16GB of RAM, and an SSD. No performance issues whatsoever on Mint. From what I recall, battery life isn't great, but I've used it exclusively as a desktop for most of its lifetime.

Windows on the original 5.4k disk, especially booting, was a truly awful experience.

My "lounging around" machine is a 14yr old Dell E6510 with a 1st gen i5, 8GB of RAM, and an SSD. It also works like a charm with Mint.

As the senior IC on my team it’s my manager that asks me to bring things up with the team since they actually listen to me. Managers just get ignored unless they actually threaten you with consequences and you have to use that sparingly.

93n · 2 years ago

Senior here too. It's a mix - usually my manager pushes hard on the less in the weeds-type topics, and I push on those in addition to the lower level topics. I can say with certainty that neither my manager nor I are ignored.

I work in application/product security and have managed WAFs for multi-billion dollar companies for many many years.

Move DNS to Cloudflare and put a few WAF rules on your site (managed challenge if bot score less than 2 / attack score == x). I doubt you'll even pay anything, and it will resolve a lot of your problems. Just test it before moving it to production please (maybe setup a test domain). Remember, a WAF is not an end-all be all, it's more of a band-aid. If you app isn't hardened to handle attacks, no amount of advanced WAF/bot protection will save it.

Message/email me if you need help.

93n · 2 years ago

Selfhoster here. I use mutual TLS rules with CloudFlare's WAF to filter out everyone but my known-good callers. Works great. Since the only folks with access are my family, it was pretty easy to setup as well (everyone gets a unique cert that I can revoke if need be).
