We're working on Spam Scanner because we weren't happy with rspamd nor SpamAssassin or any other archaic or non-trivial closed-door tech. See https://spamscanner.net for more!

It actually doesn't determine it by the country the request is coming from.

How it works is fully documented here: https://github.com/ladjs/i18n#i18nmiddlewarectx-next

1) Check URL (e.g. if /de or /de/ then it's a de locale - as long as de is a supported locale)

2) Use the custom function (if provided by the detectLocale parameter) for locale detection

3) Check the "locale" cookie value (or whatever the cookie option is defined as)

4) Check Accept-Language header

Regarding nothing being translated, there was an issue with our locales folder sync and that's being resolved soon!

Just a normal DDoS that we're mitigating

niftylettuce··on Discourage use of Mailgun as a mail provider
I built https://forwardemail.net as the costs went up and I needed a cheaper alternative for my domains. Any questions feel free to email me, nick@forwardemail.net
niftylettuce··on Ask HN: Why is Docusign a $50B company?
FE is not an alternative, we're building something separate with the same team (just a beta, experimental side project).
niftylettuce··on Ask HN: Why is Docusign a $50B company?
Working on an open source alternative, email me at niftylettuce@gmail.com if you want to try the beta.

We're the team behind https://forwardemail.net

Everything 100% transparent, open-source, privacy-focused, with fair pricing

niftylettuce··on Ask HN: Great tools for solo SaaS founders?
I built https://forwardemail.net to save money and time on email hosting/SMTP.
niftylettuce··on Truth about ProtonMail
If you just need email forwarding... without logs and no storage to disk... here's something I made: https://forwardemail.net
niftylettuce··on Piscina – The Node.js Worker Pool
I helped maintain all the Node.js node/cron/agenda libraries. Just switch to Bree and your troubles will be gone.
niftylettuce··on jQuery 3.6.0
So many cases. Some are using this on hundreds of sub-domains. I hope to launch SMTP and regex support soon. Then... it has final form, power level over 9000.
niftylettuce··on jQuery 3.6.0
Very glad to have you Tycho.
niftylettuce··on jQuery 3.6.0
Yeah, Google Translate via the npm package "mandarin" I made @ https://www.npmjs.com/package/mandarin. I planned to hire curators to go through the JSON files and clean it up - though I'm incredibly surprised that open source contributors have come forward (sometimes for their first time doing a PR) to submit fixes to locales. I give them free service for several years for their help.
niftylettuce··on jQuery 3.6.0
I would not start this business if I could not keep it going. Period. Even beyond my lifetime. I keep things simple - when I started I had so many struggles, and wish something like this existed. I have contingency plans in place if something happens. My philosophy is outlined in the documentation for Lad.
niftylettuce··on jQuery 3.6.0
I'm a happy jQuery/Bootstrap user @ https://forwardemail.net.

The site scores ~100% on Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights and is ranked #1.

Open-startup @ https://forwardemail.net/open-startup!

Completely open-source too @ https://github.com/forwardemail

niftylettuce··on Firefox Relay
I created tools such as https://spamscanner.net and use ARC + ARF.
niftylettuce··on Firefox Relay
I encourage you to instead try out https://forwardemail.net. I'm launching our browser extension and our SMTP service very soon. It's completely open-source and free. No logging either. We're the only service that doesn't write emails let alone logs to disk nor store any metadata.

You can use unlimited custom domains and create disposable aliases on the fly as well!

(I'm the creator, lmk any questions!)

niftylettuce··on The M1 MacBook Air is the best computer I've ever owned
Did you view the links? There are core problems with Bluetooth, Wifi 6, and security of the device (not workflow).

I don't think my workflow is flawed, here's what it produces: https://github.com/niftylettuce

niftylettuce··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
#1 on Google
niftylettuce··on Google Alternatives
I made https://forwardemail.net as an alternative to having to sign up for Google Business (since they no longer offer the free plan).
niftylettuce··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
I launched https://forwardemail.net out of beta on Nov 23. Within twelve days had thousands in sales. This is also an open startup at https://forwardemail.net/open-startup.
niftylettuce··on foo@bar.com
you could just use our /dev/null approach at https://forwardemail.net with "!" prefixed wildcard alias for this haha
niftylettuce··on Ask HN: Captcha Alternatives?
I'm working on https://spamscanner.net, which will be useful very soon for this with a public and free API (which will store zero logs and adhere to same privacy as https://forwardemail.net).
niftylettuce··on Firefox Android Build that caused issues is working as intended

niftylettuce··on One company's plan to build a search engine Google can't beat
Yet another startup with product that doesn't fit the market.
niftylettuce··on Small mail server best current practices
We are going to release outbound/inbound SMTP feature soon, so you can use our service outside of Gmail (and others') 'Send Mail As' features. If you sign up (and don't add any domains or anything) I will send you an email when it's live. Or you can follow me on Twitter or subscribe to the GitHub releases. Or I guess you could just email niftylettuce@gmail.com and I will put you on the list to send to, haha.
niftylettuce··on Small mail server best current practices
Our existing infrastructure is hosted on dedicated (not shared) hardware in the US, UK, and Europe. Our new infrastructure (which will be running on bare metal servers) will be hosted in the US and Sweden (in underground bunker data centers).
niftylettuce··on Small mail server best current practices
Yep, everything I create is open-source!
