I have a private @gmail and a business @company.com (also via gmail), which I heavily rely on. Due to a recent data-leak somewhere, I'm now receiving unstoppable spam on my @gmail, and decided to set up a new account on proton and ditch @gmsil in favor of @example.com. I came across SimpleLogin, and thought that I could use that instead of protons custom domain feature for both @company.com and @example.com

Since I also host some stuff myself, I went through the self-hosting process of SimpleLogin, which was a pita dealing with postfix. But now, everything is running fine and I can send/receive @exampke.com emails, which I tested with @gmail and @company.com (gmail).

Even though it was a nice learning experience, I'm starting to wonder whether my setup is future proof and reliable, especially when it comes to spam. I really don't want my @company.com mails to land in customers spam folders.

So my question is, how reliable is a self hosted email-forwarding solution, and how does it compare with a self-hosted mail service. Like, are these two equal in terms when it comes to precautions etc?

I'm using instagram to browse the discover feed mindlessly sometimes. I know, it's stupid, but I'm bored.

At some point a short video about conspiracy showed up, so I hang in there and watched it.

After mindlessly scrolling through the feed, more and more conspiracy stuff started showing up.

Also, a few days before, the coridor crew on YT uploaded a vlog how they made a fake video go viral.

And then there's the fuzz about the whistleblower, etc... resulting in many other YT videos referencing aliens, etc.

FWIW, I'm not actively searching for conspiracy topics, etc... it's just that I've noticed a trend rising up, and I can't be the only one, can I ?!

Is there a reason why all the services, that use the ActivityPub protocol don't have a unified API?

None of the mastodon apps allow me to log in with a lemmy/kbin account.

Also none of the lemmy apps allow me to log in with a kbin account.

Even though kbin has both mastodon (microblogging) and lemmy (threads, communities) functionality.

Also, Pixelfed recently introduced "login with Mastodon", but all it really does is just create a new user on it's instance and copy over the mastodon followers and profile info.

Why can't we just have one account to rule them all?

As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.

With version 1.3 of Inkscape, you’ll find improved performance, several new features, and a solid set of improvements to a few existing ones. This version is squarely focused on helping users get organized and work more efficiently with our free and open source vector-editing software.

Is it just me or do any of you guys have trouble with suspending? It started a few updates back, and I was hoping 6.4.4 would fix it, but it didn't.

When I put the system into suspend, it would come back right away.
It' only stays suspended after trying it a few times.

Could we get all the former subreddit mods who migrated to lemmy/kbin to unite and make some promo for lemmy/kbin on /r/place?

Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse.

"fediverse@xxx", "Linux@xxx", "asklemmy", "askkbin"..etc...

I'm on kbin and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use the fediverse more productively, by reaching the largest amount of people for asking questions, solving problems, simply put: to engage... like I used to do on Reddit?

I've been using my own streaming app for the past few years now.

I decided to rock my own thing because of the following reasons. Since many of the existing ones are closed source, you never know what data is collected. Kodi is fine, but I prefer nice UIs to browse my favorite content. And lastly, I'm a passionate developer.

The app consists of 3 parts:

• the TV app itself
• a backend service to fetch data from trakt/tmdb
• a backend service for openscrapers (real debrid)
• external player of choice (nova, vlc, ...)

To get it up and running, you'd need to run the two backend services on your own server and install an external player like Nova, since it doesn't provide a built-in player.

Would you guys be interested in it so I make my repos publicly available?
