> While you may not have liked the way it was said, this users reply is actually responding with correct information.

No, they are hand waving and being rude and insulting while delivering misinformation.

> Sure, but how long would your new server keep working (i.e., delivering mail to GMail, etc)?

I can't see the future, if the big email providers who likely have some of their trolls posting in the comments ever decide to start choking out us personal email server runners, then it'd be game over. If things remain for the next 20 years assuming I live that long then deliverability would be 100% for the next 20 years.

> Do you know some magic incantation for staying off the naughty lists?

I don't spam, that and don't make a finger fumble edit like I did the one time in over 20 years and didn't check to make sure it was working correctly first.

Also, I use http://www.mxtoolbox.com/ to keep an eye on my server.

> You can perfectly self-host while using an outgoing SMTP provider.

That's mostly selfhosting, not fully selfhosting. I full selfhost my email, I 100% control as much of it as is possible to do. When I send an email to someone, it goes from my client to my server and out to the recipient's server.

> The odds that this works is basically zero.

It's times like this that I wish HN had better moderation, you are insultingly rude to the parent and to one of my comments.

> Here's the recipe

We read from different cookbooks and my reading comprehension is high. My sent email stats shows over 20K successfully sent emails just for my personal account, since 1999, when I started tracking it.

I've not been on any spam list in 10 years or more and only once in around 24 years (or more) of hosting my own email, and I do use my email accounts. That one time was 100% my goof, made a simple mistake, fixed it, was barely a hiccup.

> "You just cannot create another first-class node of this network.

Uh, yeah, you can, I did it again recently. I've done it at Oracle Cloud, AWS Lightsail, Linode, GoDaddy, and several ISP's before that. I could start right this minute with Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc. pick one and be up and running, delivering email to Gmail, Microsoft, etc. in a day.

Each time one of these articles is posted, I feel I must be some kind of email savant.

It looks like my intuition was right, it's not just the technical sector of the economy...it's the economy and the administration in charge.

If you're into cheap or free and regardless opinions on Oracle, their Always Free resources are unmatched.

See my comment below on games, as for Excel, I use the online version, works great on Chrome, Firefox and Edge on Kubuntu.

Agreed, was going to reply to parent's comment but yours is spot on. Wine can run some of my old games great. Steam Proton runs all the newer stuff I've purchased (oops, sorry Gabe I meant to say "licensed"!). I don't do a lot of MP except for stuff that has a native Linux client like TF2 and CS2. Well, I do play a lot of NMS and sometimes play it in MP no issues on Steam Proton though their MP can get a bit funky sometimes. I play 7DTD Windows version, usually SP but it seems like I've played it in MP, maybe I'm recalling incorrectly.

People actually want to install Windows 11 when better alternatives like Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Fedora/PopOS!/etc. exist?

> Games though can be a nightmare, a recent nvidia driver seems to have created stuttering across all games using X to varying degrees. (downgrading the driver fixes the issue)

On ubuntu (Kubuntu really), and as a gamer, I've seen no issues with nVidia on X, both native Linux and Steam Proton games rock on.

My past experiences with SuSE, Fedora, and Red Hat, RPM distributions, eventually experienced a corrupt repository that in each case took hours to fix. That's when I settled on Ubuntu in 2006 and haven't looked back.

There were several phishing attempts from that domain, onmicrosoft.com, to my personal email account this past week.

There are many voices on the Internet today echoing a disharmonious, discordant and at times, inaccurate view of nationalism. The article views the peaceful intent of nationalism through the lens of sovereignty.

We've been down this road before. It's neat but not for long term maintenance, support or training as soon as HTMX loses its luster and the, then manager, has to concede the whole thing has to be re-written from scratch.

Ubuntu 2022, the default appears to be true already:
