@omegabyte hi! the earliest email in my self-hosted inbox is from 2019. it's been going for 6 years. Hope I could help!

@apex and that's a valid concern! but it's by no means "difficult" for anyone already versed in self-hosting to spin up a mail server. i would absolutely have qualms about my own ability to keep a 99.9% uptime too

i think it's time to dispel the myth that #selfhosting #email is hard if a dumdum like me can set up https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver in a USD12/mo linode box (which also hosts my websites, so that's not USD12 for mail alone) in like 15 minutes

the hardest part is just getting the DNS DKIM, DMARC and SPF values right

@elliotnunn also the post you replied to is also the start of a thread where i do say more about it (though, again, pictures currently broken)

@elliotnunn yeah older pictures are currently broken in my instance, sorry

not terribly exciting, just some modified roms for the Unitron 1024 Mac clone that never released

@bustletonauto this italian job sequel is looking a little weird

thinking about the time back when i was a prototype that i "reinvented" the radians to degrees constant of 57.295779513 by writing a program to draw circles in freebasic with my very limited geometry knowledge, tweaking the constant and re-running the program each time until the circles looked right

sometimes scrolling through a bugged mastodon timeline can feel oddly poetic

@Radgryd https://computerfairi.es/@mavica_again/113828372184980546 does not show up in https://mastodon.social/@dosnostalgic/108585590610187521 which is indicative of a instance-level silence or suspend (if a user had me silenced or suspended my replies would still show)

if you are on mastodon.social i urge you, please try to find a less central instance! #feditips

can mastodon.social users see my replies if they're not following me? should i just stop bothering trying to reply to anyone on mastodon.social? because if i go to their post my replies certainly aren't there
