Obviously it's primarily targeted at steam games, Lutris will sort you out with any other windows game (a game manager like steam but for _nearly every_ game)
Sure there are edge cases like having to use Libre Office instead of Word, but just think of that $100/y saving you'll be having by switching! & Possibly even get a more responsive system!
Thanks for the blog post link
Their off hand comment around why BOM didn't have https was due to the amount of overhead and infrastructure changes needed to make that https change.
Fast forward to 2018ish they recently created a new API, and a new website. Https://Weather.bom.gov.au with https enabled! (which I now have integrated into a raspberry pi and an eink display for my morning weather).
For whatever (archaic) reason the new weather webui is now defunct but the api still exists, uses https, and as far as I know supports their mobile applications.
All it would take is for some ISPs here to mitm the traffic with ads / junk and maybe they would change it. The upside to this story is that it is currently a great site to visit for captive portal detection.
Digicert has been pushing acme for a while now, but it's a bit annoying as you (my company) needed to prepay/have a line of credit for it, or some annoyance that didn't make it as seemless as LE/ZeroSSL.
I think for digicert any of the certs with 89/90 day expiry would be acme renewals with a near 100% certainty.
Tasks in the calendar become Notes on iPhone! Works amazingly well.
Occasionally I turn up in spam when I email someone I haven't before, but that's usually due to the .ro in my domain and the forced text mode rather than html.
I've found problems only start occuring when you send transactional email. User signups, notifications, etc. Anything really automated.
I think people like to joke on self hosting email because there are a lot of moving parts and it was hard to diagnose why something went wrong. Until the last decade and early 2010s there were no all in one self hosted solutions that made it easy & available for most to do it.
#!/bin/bash
pickaword() {
WORDFREQFILE=/usr/share/dict/cracklib-small;
WORDLENGTH=$1;
awk -v wordlength="$WORDLENGTH" 'length($1) == wordlength {print $1}' "$WORDFREQFILE"|shuf|head -n 1;
}
[[ ! -z $1 ]] && numWords=$1 || numWords=4
separator="-"
count=0
currentWord=""
while [[ $count -lt $numWords ]]; do
[[ $count != 0 ]] && echo -n $separator
num=$((3 + RANDOM % 10))
word=$(pickaword $num)
echo -n "$word"
count=$(($count + 1));
done
echo ""
Otherwise, as you are already self hosting, getting a new box in a different datacentre (and provider) and use that for relaying could be an option. A tiny 1cpu, 512mb with an IP whitelist to your main server wouldnt set you back much. I bought a 2cpu 1GB for $40 annually.
Good luck on quitting!
