I spun up a mailcow instance relatively simply through elestio (new to me devops as a service). Takes a few clicks, let’s you pick your cloud provider and has pretty slick admin UI to manage firewalls and dockerfiles etc.

I’ve never setup an SMTP server before, but I’ve decided to with my “buy Canadian” initiative to eschew the tech-oligarchy at every turn I can. Not for Canadians sovereignty alone, but to help get rid the planet of billionaires by starving them of their capital.

But I digress, mailcow makes setting up DNS a breeze and elestio makes mailcow a breeze. I’ve actually spun up this Lemmy instance on elestio too, just so nice its a game changer. Here’s info about mailcow https://elest.io/open-source/mailcow and no I’m not affiliated with elestio, just seems solid thus far (only been using it for a month, but support is on point too).

You’ve obviously felt my pain. Maybe 6th install will take 🤞

I mean Canada is only one country Michael. How many people could they possibly have? 10?

Glad I just ditched Google… Might have to expedite removing data from their claws

ROG Flow 13 looks dope, and while I appreciate your opinion for 15-16", the smaller the better in my book. Rocking a 10.1" Onexplayer netbook 5 and its okay, no Z13 tho, but also way cheaper

Yea that’s kinda what I was thinking. Digital safety should be up to the individual, big companies should be fined and held accountable to the data they collect.

Its why I’m on Lemmy, I host my own instance and thus I own the data. I’ve moved my email and cloud backups to instances I own as well. I understand I’m a bit privileged that I can do such things, but I plan on helping others setup their own needs online if I can.

Unfortunately we’ve been on autopilot just taking online products and folding them into our lives without much forethought to the outcomes. Didn’t know democracy was at threat, but with hindsight it makes sense. Power is moving up the chain of command and could be lost to us labourers for the foreseeable future unless we take it back through our data.

While I do agree its a bit whack, I question if everything needs 100% safety to be legal?

If someone offers a dangerous thing and you sign a waiver, maybe motocross, if you get injured is it the owners fault? Why should an individual be free from onus?

This is important information for people to read and unddrrstand. As a denizen of multiple communities for over 25 years I think the seeds of ideas start with these forums. They are almost like a canary in the coal mine to give us an idea what will bubble up to the surface to grandma.

We’re not the majority on Lemmy, many instances are curated to keep out the filth. But content is recycled and moves throughout the net. I’m reminded of this old meme, eventually content makes it to facebook where my mom and elders consume content.

Sovereign wealth fund from capturing value from our citizens efforts? Reaks of socialism, but not entirely convinced capitalism is working for the everyman

Canadian feds should get shares for each dollar subsidized into their market. Why they eat the profits while tax payers get hosed?

Sucks their “shithole country” (Trump’s rhetoric, just borrowing it) allows such dangerous weapons of mass destruction to cross the border of a peace keeping nation. Maybe they need NATO sanctions?

Been looking for a DR system for Ubuntu or mint, need to look into it myself but would like some feedback if this could be the right ticket.

I just bought a raspberry pi 4 to host plex, I’m sure I could get it to do backup and restore too. Looking into it

Left used to mean something, helping out the everyman with stronger safetynets. If kids need jokes we need to do that and not engage with the trolls. High ground sucks when they go low, but its needed to keep proper decorum.

Politics should be boring, we should not need to pay attention to every move they make. Progressives and lefties are bought and paid for like the rest, I’d argue that’s more important for the next gen. Both are sellouts, let’s go to the fun one.

In theory I’d love that, I give into the trolling but try to keep it to a minimum.

Children are watching and when everyone is slinging shit, they just see shit covered adults and that’s almost worse than losing a voter. Losing the next gen

I enter civil discourse with opposing views all day erryday, but that’s a nice point. We need values but I think the order of operations should be to engage civily, agree to disagree, then finally block so they don’t feel empowered by their position.

This guys right, we gotta try not to feed the trolls.

Also don’t be a sucker! https://youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Dang so sorry to hear, I don’t known any vocal PP thumpers around me, but he’s just so bland but like not the normal Candian kinda way, like made in a lab way.

Good catch, meant to say “don’t block if you can” we need them to see our side. I’ll update my op.

And to add context, this is a waiting game. I’m hopeful the factions align under progressive libs before cons. We all want a better place, we gotta keep moving forward. Regression is bad mkay

Better than UCP? Or they don’t run federally I guess? Idk much about Alberta

Alt-right pipeline is alive and flourishing. Check on your loved ones mental health and reach across the aisle with open arms if you can, block if you can’t. Try not to feed the trolls, and Godspeed!

E: can to can’t
