I’m curious, you got anything light reading you can recommend to ease into the topic, please pm me. I’d appreciate, if it wasn’t another post which basically recites the content of another post, and so on - far too much out there these days)

Don’t get me wrong, just needed to verify that it might be a tool to evaluate.

I had a first try yesterday, but something with my existing SSH .config didn’t work, when I tried to add some “connections”. Is there a logical reason, why Xpipe forces a connection to be established, before adding it in the “search connections” - for me they fail, because I exclusively use key-based SSH auth, but I load my keys on the fly from KeePassXC when I need them, not before.

Nice to see a modern and snappy Java application for a change.

@crschnick@sh.itjust.works First of all - thanks for sharing it! 😍 Just a quick question, after I took a first glance - it is just a management tool application which abstracts the use of CLI management tools like ssh, ssh-keygen, podman, etc… and consolidates it into a single UI, right? - So it is not just “another” service to host, correct?

My bad, I meant SPF record.

I have some issue with just that, all emails will end up in a spam filter (if your mail provider is thorough). Also your IP might end up on a public spam/ block list. To much to go wrong, in case some alerts need to reach me.

Plus I use a strict DMARC, so at least a correct SPF is needed.

I’m using postfix on my machines, all services send to it and it just to relays via a SMTP service. So only one point to configure.

I was specifically looking for the last part, a SMTP relay service.

It sounds very promising.

Thanks. I really appreciate all those “niche” products. With just web research I wouldn’t have found it.

I thought about self-hosting, but first of all I got a dynamic IP. Further I want a solution which has roughly 98% availability and 99,99% reliability, because this service tells me if everything burns/ goes awry. That’s not the service I’d like to “toy” with. And hosting any kind of mail service with 98% availability and 99,99% reliability, automatic DKIM roll-over etc. is a tough nut. Even VPS cost’s seem higher than just Amazon SES.

Even if it’s a bit different. It’s always nice to see what’s out there. I will definitively look into it.

Sure - but that would be another thing to self-host - because I have at least 5 machines which need to send, and I have a dynamic IP address - so it would involve updating the MX records via DNS API for at least 5 sub domains.

To be honest, I’m a KISS kind of guy - not everything technical possible or imaginable is worthwhile. Especially if it’s such a crucial part like alert monitoring. I want it done simple, secure, without caveats and keeping the complexity on the lowest level possible.

Many people underestimate it, my goto for a fast an reliable file share service, which does just that, is production ready, has great client software and uses just few resources.

True, but for playing around with lemmy and doing some test’s it’s ideal - and it’s free! In case you are serious about hosting a lemmy instance, there should be at least some sort of backup/ disaster recovery strategy in place.

I’m not sure if it’s still valid, but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) had a 4 vCPU, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB HDD free tier. No costs, ever! You could sign up there and setup an even bigger instance.

I know it’s been mentioned before - but plain Wireguard is my way to go. KISS - keep it simple, stupid! setup might be a little bit of a learning curve, but once you got it for one device, others aren’t a big issue.

I had a CA, with OpenVPN, but that’s to much for a small setup like remote access to your home network.

Use it on iOS, Ubuntu and Windows to access my home services and DNS (Split-Tunnel).

It’s a pretty easy setup on OpenWrt. A quick look into the fresh tomato wiki tells me, that it shouldn’t be to complicated to achieve on your router (firmware). If you need help with setting Wireguard up, let me know, I’m happy to help out.

Funny 😄 pretty much asked myself the same thing, the day before yesterday.

Specifically, I have been looking for encrypted mail hosters supporting your own domain. Also, hosting in Europe on dedicated Hardware (or at least guaranteed European VPS), GDPR compliance and some sort of certification/ verification of the said requirements and their claims!

What I came up with:

• mailbox.org (never heard of it before, but pretty much has your requirements covered) <- Tor nodes, anonymous accounts(no personal data at all!)
• proton mail
• Tutanota (pretty young - but interesting concept)

I won’t cite their individual plans - that’s for you to figure out in detail.

The thing that bugs me with the Proton Mail and Tutanota, to effectively make use of their threat model/ encryption you have to use their Apps/ Software. EDIT: I’m currently using Microsoft365 - with it you are pretty much locked in - I fear with Proton or Tutanota it’s the same. Migrating is a pain.

I’m trying mailbox.org at the moment - they got a 30-free trail.

Yes, you can. See my post I made on lemmy.world - showing up in the feed of @fediverse@lemmy.world using my mastodon.social account (in the mastodon app). For that to work you have to have the community address and look for it via the search on the mastodon instance.

Screenshot is made in the mastodon instance.

Yes, that sucks and is totally frustrating. Yet another “good” example of vendor lock-in.

That’s why I’m more cautious, research a lot and even test new products before I finally buy them. And I prefer simple “dump” solutions over “smart” ones, whenever possible.

I had only logitech for years, using Windows, Linux, BSD, Dos… without any issues. The older model (probably 15years+) is still working perfectly, mechanical & PS/2. And that has been drowned in Coffee, water, whiskey and what else. Put it in the washing machine (with some clothes to bolster), let it dry and use it like the first day! 👌🏼 Even my current one, for about 10 years in service works like a charm. I admit both are #lowtech devices
