  • Email is the hardest thing to self-host, but it’s definitely doable. You’ll need a static IP, and you’ll need to talk to your ISP to make sure outbound connections on port 25 are open.

    Set up your servers and your DNS settings (another commenter gave a good guide), then use this tool to check that DKIM and SPF are working and that you’re not seen as spam with SpamAssassin:

    https://dkimvalidator.com/

    Once that’s done, take your static IP and check it with this tool:

    https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

    If it’s on any of the lists, you’ll need to go to those lists’ sites and try to get it removed. You might need to make an email address for “postmaster@yourdomain” at this point.

    Beyond that, you may need to “warm up” your IP address, by sending email to yourself on various services (Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft) and marking them as not spam.

    Then you should be golden.

    I had to do this for both my SMTP servers for Port87. If you use more than one server, this process gets a little harder, so probably stick to one at first.



  • I have one almost exactly like the one you posted. Same processor, same brand.

    It’s fine. It can do 1080 on most games. BG3 runs at 40fps at 1080. My wife uses it mostly, and she doesn’t mind.

    One big annoyance I have with it is it’s got terrible Bluetooth connection. The controller needs to be within ten feet to have a reliable connection.

    All in all, I would say it’s worth it if your needs are a good fit.

    You’ll get a lot better performance if you spend a bit more (like ~$650) to get a system with a dedicated graphics card. Even an RX 6600 will be quite a bit better.

    Yeah, we’re talking about ice.

    5

    a

    a solid homogeneous crystalline chemical element or compound that results from the inorganic processes of nature

    broadly  any of various naturally occurring homogeneous substances (such as stone, coal, salt, sulfur, sand, petroleum, water, or natural gas) obtained usually from the ground

    The rule we decided on in the discussion was that we would follow the dictionary definition of “rock”, which led us to conclude that ice is a rock.

    If we want to be super pedantic, the dictionary does have a definition of rock as in “rock candy” that’s a sugar crystal, but we decided in the spirit of the discussion that we would not consider “rock” to include “rock candy”. And for the same reason, we do not include chunks of crack cocaine.
