just today i set up miniflux and https://github.com/vasanthv/talk
i look forward to hearing about new projects that i can deploy to improve my friends' lives; i hear about them here
but it's not even just what you've encouraged me to do: once i had my server working i became consumed by the idea that i could do it all myself, so i started to try to self-host email. you all helped encourage me to give up that nightmare and just pay a real company to do it for me
this points at maybe what i'm most thankful for: i have a much deeper and more sophisticated understanding of the technology stack i interact with at any given time. even if i'm not "in control", at least knowing how i'm not in control gives a sense of security
more than that, i'm able to impress my nephew, a supposed computer genius, by simply regurgitating the latest talking points from HN. maybe this is the most valuable benefit i've derived so far....
one of the other things i've done is to self-host a ghost installation for the benefit of my friends, john and borka. they basically live like monks for the benefit of the preservation of the amazon rainforest. with HN's help, i have been able to set them up with a website:
https://RioMomon.rhizoma.zone
sometimes at this time of year people look for something to which to donate. the nice thing about rio momon is that all of the money goes directly towards the mission (web hosting & web dev costs, for example, are borne by me -- and i am able to do it easily, because HN taught me)
thank you!
Hi,
Just a small tip:
Yes, configuring email and having your own email server can be a bit of a pain in the ass. But this might save you some money and do it all yourself while being pretty secure:
1> Figure out how to use Docker / containerization on your VPS.
2> Install Mailcow (https://mailcow.email/) on your VPS following these (https://docs.mailcow.email/) instructions. With a maximum of a few hours tinkering (depending on your requirements) you are pretty much done.
Happy Christmas, and never stop learning :)
