I have a private @gmail and a business @company.com (also via gmail), which I heavily rely on. Due to a recent data-leak somewhere, I'm now receiving unstoppable spam on my @gmail, and decided to set up a new account on proton and ditch @gmsil in favor of @example.com. I came across SimpleLogin, and thought that I could use that instead of protons custom domain feature for both @company.com and @example.com

Since I also host some stuff myself, I went through the self-hosting process of SimpleLogin, which was a pita dealing with postfix. But now, everything is running fine and I can send/receive @exampke.com emails, which I tested with @gmail and @company.com (gmail).

Even though it was a nice learning experience, I'm starting to wonder whether my setup is future proof and reliable, especially when it comes to spam. I really don't want my @company.com mails to land in customers spam folders.

So my question is, how reliable is a self hosted email-forwarding solution, and how does it compare with a self-hosted mail service. Like, are these two equal in terms when it comes to precautions etc?

Canonical are currently dealing with a security incident with the Snap store, after users noticed multiple fake apps were uploaded so temporary limits have been put in place.

I'm using instagram to browse the discover feed mindlessly sometimes. I know, it's stupid, but I'm bored.

At some point a short video about conspiracy showed up, so I hang in there and watched it.

After mindlessly scrolling through the feed, more and more conspiracy stuff started showing up.

Also, a few days before, the coridor crew on YT uploaded a vlog how they made a fake video go viral.

And then there's the fuzz about the whistleblower, etc... resulting in many other YT videos referencing aliens, etc.

FWIW, I'm not actively searching for conspiracy topics, etc... it's just that I've noticed a trend rising up, and I can't be the only one, can I ?!

Scientists on Thursday published a paper identifying and naming the worm, which they said belonged to a previously-unidentified species.

Is there a reason why all the services, that use the ActivityPub protocol don't have a unified API?

None of the mastodon apps allow me to log in with a lemmy/kbin account.

Also none of the lemmy apps allow me to log in with a kbin account.

Even though kbin has both mastodon (microblogging) and lemmy (threads, communities) functionality.

Also, Pixelfed recently introduced "login with Mastodon", but all it really does is just create a new user on it's instance and copy over the mastodon followers and profile info.

Why can't we just have one account to rule them all?

As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.

Could we get all the former subreddit mods who migrated to lemmy/kbin to unite and make some promo for lemmy/kbin on /r/place?

Most of the communities I'm interested in are on lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc where they have a large activity there, but the UI/UX of kbin is what's holding me here.

However, I feel like not all upvotes downvotes and even comments are federated to kbin, so I never get to experience the real hype of certain posts.

I'm wondering where the bottleneck is? Is it a certain i stance not pushibg to kbin.social, or is it kbin.social not being able to handle this huge amount of streams?

Also, if it's the latter, would I have a better experience if I were to host kbin myself?

I usually browse under kbin.social/sub.

I noticed some posts from lemmyshitposts@lemmy.world and many others popping up in the sub-feed. The thing is, I've never subscribed to these magazines.

I even went to the magazine to check, whether I've subscribed accidentally, but I did not.

I have had a Logitech G903 for almost 3 years now, and it worked great under Linux. It had smooth scroll properly working with solaar and I could remap/deactivate buttons with piper.

Now that the G903 seems like it's going to die (random slowdowns), I'm in the market for a new mouse.

I got a Razer Balistik v3 pro, only to find out that Razer support on Linux is terrible.

So I got the G502 X Plus, hoping it would work like the G903 did, but has a bunch of issues.

For exampe: It's not recognized by piper, so I cannot remap/disable buttons. While I can change the dpi with solaar, it only stays until I press the thumb-dpi-button, then it switches to a higher dpi and stays there. (had to enable in-memory profile on a windows vm with ghub, to make solaar work) ... and many more.

Are there any good wireless mice out there, that have good Linux support?

Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse.

"fediverse@xxx", "Linux@xxx", "asklemmy", "askkbin"..etc...

I'm on kbin and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use the fediverse more productively, by reaching the largest amount of people for asking questions, solving problems, simply put: to engage... like I used to do on Reddit?

Maybe give them a custom header image, like profiles have. But please don't encourage them to fill my screen with #FF00FF.
