CallMeMarc··on Show HN: A self-hosted email engine
Hosting your own email service is way more difficult than just spinning up a smtp server and some interface. Most big providers (like gmail) are more likely to flag incoming mails from unknown servers.

That's the reason why stuff like Sendy[1] is so popular. You host your own interface, settings and so on, but the ugly part of sending your email is handled by AWS SES.

CallMeMarc··on A 96 Bitcoin ransom payment ends up on Bitfinex
[1] is about Bitcoin Cash, not Bitcoin. [2] is basically a Tumbler/Mixer based on a smart contract which there are plenty of available (at least non-smart contract ones)
CallMeMarc··on Russia blocks ProtonMail
Buy a domain and use an email provider which supports custom domains (and maybe catch alls) and use this domain from now on. Makes switching providers way more easy as you don't use their domain in your email everywhere.
CallMeMarc··on Into the Personal-Website-Verse (2019)
After my recent luck, I'm definitely down for that!

CallMeMarc··on Novel Coronavirus situation reports
Title should better be using "WHO" instead of "Who". Got quite confused on this one.
CallMeMarc··on Into the Personal-Website-Verse (2019)
I've clicked on a random link out of all of these personal websites and I find someone from my hometown, the second time something like this has happened here on HN! :D
CallMeMarc··on Thank HN: My SaaS paid my rent this month
You're probably talking about Oliver Flaskämper, right? We're renting an office in his coworking space!
CallMeMarc··on Thank HN: My SaaS paid my rent this month
What a coincidence, you're in the same small town as the company I work for! ;)

Great app btw and congratulations on last year's success :)

CallMeMarc··on Formcake – A Form Back-End API
I can't open the navigation on mobile (chrome) and if I switch the "desktop version" feature on the navigation button in the top right corner disappears.
CallMeMarc··on Losing the News: The Decimation of Local News and the Search for Solutions
That's funny because "fear" sounds like the German word "vier" which stands for four and would make it sound like Channel Four again.
CallMeMarc··on Run an Internet Speed Test from the Command Line
Also speedtest-net is a great one, it also has an programmatic API.
CallMeMarc··on Show HN: Botmake.io – Super simple and clean chatbot creation tool
At least on mobile (also with the "desktop version" feature in chrome) it was a real pain in the ass to compare the pricing plans, everything has the same color/font and nothing stands out (like the numbers for example). I think one of these pricing tables with the plans on the x and the features on the y axis would be a good idea. :)
CallMeMarc··on Stripe CLI
The message is new, usually the website was also down, but this probably explains why.
CallMeMarc··on Stripe CLI
I've started using `serveo.net` to monitor my internet uptime (Raspberry Pi with a simple webserver, [updown.io](https://updown.io) to request it via [serveo.net](https://serveo.net)) but they were unavailable/offline for ~4 days within the last 10 days.
CallMeMarc··on My transition to an Ubuntu workstation
Yes, definitely should have avoided them in the first place
CallMeMarc··on My transition to an Ubuntu workstation
Steam with proton did work for some games but not with i3 only with the default Ubuntu window manager, I'm not familiar enough with this stuff to really tell where the problems are but I'll try Lutris, thanks!
CallMeMarc··on My transition to an Ubuntu workstation
Yes, that's what I've learned on the way but back as a bought my Thinkpad I didn't think about stuff like this as I also initially ran Windows
CallMeMarc··on My transition to an Ubuntu workstation
I've made quite other experiences with my setup. I'm not that experienced but with my Ubuntu and i3 setup with the standard drivers from Nvidia I couldn't get playonlinux or wine running. I can't exactly tell what the problem in the end was, but it definitely is not as easy as on Windows or even Mac imo.
CallMeMarc··on Enable Pages access control
It's non of GitLabs business to play the judge in this. If a customer is doing something illegal and a court makes a judgment, they will probably do something.

I prefer a company not ruling their platform by their beliefs but by their countries laws and court rulings.

CallMeMarc··on Ask HN: Personal Cloud Solution? (Mail, NextCloud, etc.)
I've used ownCloud for years but finally switched to nextcloud and I couldn't be happier. I'm using terraform to set it all up and instead of local storage I'm using a S3 bucket which makes it really convenient to not worry about disk sizes etc.
