Show HN: GodotOS: A Fake Operating System Interface Made in the Godot Engine
Excellent idea! You'll have a mature, open standard protocol under the hood, with no vendor lock-in, excellent extensibility, and great modern frontends like The Lounge (https://thelounge.chat/) or Convos (https://convos.chat/) to choose from (and you can choose).

Wave of Spam Hits IRC
And UnrealIRCD still rocks. For a quick-and-dirty setup I've deploy ng-ircd but Unreal has always been my go-to for anything serious. If nothing else it can be useful as a backup or internal platform during the rare events that Slack or Discord are having an incident. The common complaint is a lack of channel back-log but it can be front-ended with TheLounge [1] or Convos [2]. I personally prefer to handle that with gnu screen or tmux and WeeChat [3].

Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
For the other layers one can front-end IRC with TheLounge [1][2] or Convos [3][4]. TheLounge only persists history in private mode meaning that users are created in that front-end and chat messages are in Redis. For small networks or groups of friends this is probably fine.
Notably missing is voice chat. I use the Mumble client [5] with the Murmur or uMurmur [6] server which is light-weight enough to run on ones home router. I use it on Alpine Linux, works great. It's not a shiny and attention grabbing as Discord but probably fine for everyone else. For people to create their own voice channels would require the full-blown Murmur server.

IRCv3 2022 Spec round-up
FWIW TheLounge [1] and Convos [2] can front-end an IRC server giving it much of the look of a modern client and also chat persistence when using TheLounge in private mode. The trade-off in my opinion is scalability. With a bog standard IRCD I can handle tens of thousands of clients per node. Adding web persistent chat adds memory usage.

G Suite legacy free edition accounts being suspended on July 1, 2022
It's a pain in the ass right now. Original I come up with the domain hanami.run because I explained here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1p2crPpFIc I feel like wind blow flowers where Hanami blow out emails.

Ask HN: Great tools for solo SaaS founders?
I found https://hanami.run (soon to be mailwip.com due to name conflict with hanamirb.org) to setup email forwarding and a simple blog platform by "email to post" and webhook.
Use it you can consolidate emails from multiple domains to forward to the same inbox. And you can add webhook/slack notification too.

Truth about ProtonMail
You can look into mine (https://hanami.run) very fast to sign up and have a few cool features about webhook or smtp.
Also, improvmx.com is a great product as well.
If you like open source, https://maddy.email/ is a single binary deployment that can handle everything even IMAP.
https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/ is a dockerize solution with super detail document as well.

How to Create a SaaS and Compete with the Big Players as a Solo Founder
If you want to compete with the big players, you have to solve the most important pain point and work upward from that small use base.
My case: I work on https://hanami.run (will soon move to https://mailwip.com due to hanamirb.org conflict) and email forwarding is very competitive. Big and old players are all over the place because at the end of day, setting up email forwarding isn't hard and many open source project did it, heck you can spin up AWS lambda for incoming email in no time.
The pain point is: email will drop sometime, time to time no matter how good an email forwarding service is because they have to scan spam, have false positive, or because of strict DMARC/SPF rule. And I have no tools available to help me out there. So I focus strongly on my maillog features with many level of privacy:
- no log at all
-
Ask HN: Solo-preneurs, how do you DevOps to save time?
- docker-compose to spin up everything. It's super nice. Again, the deployment is done with a `rsync` then `docker-compose up -f docker-compose-prod.yml`
Eventually when deployment changes very frequent and need scale/ha I added in Kubernetes. K8S is way easiser to setup than you think and it handle all other suff(load balancer, environment variable etc).
And my deploy now become: `kubectl apply -f`
One trick I used is to use `sed` or `envsubst` to replace the image hash.
For backedup, I again, literally setup cronjob from an external server, `ssh` into database and run `pgdump`.
I also have a nice NFS server to centralize config and sync back to our git repo.
I used this whole setup to operate https://hanami.run an email forwarding service for the first 3 months before I added Kubernetes.

When users never use the features they asked for
So I want to share a story about user asking for a feature then not using it.
I run an email forwarding services(https://hanami.run) basically you add your domains in and add some records.
We had this one heavy users who has like hundreds of domains. So our UI isn't design for that. Who has hundreds of domains? So they approach and asked us for a way to organize those domains into a hierarchy structure.
All good.
They are paid our highest tier ($30 per month) so we prioritize the requests and work on it.
2 days later that same user downgrade to the lowest plan and delete all of their hundred of domains...
That complicated features remain unused to nowadays...

Is it possible to setup email forwarding from a domain brought from Wix
Wix doesn't have built-in email forwarding but you can use any email forwarding service. Look into hanami.run and simply follow their onboarding process to add your MX record. https://hanami.run/docs/configure_dns#mx
