Should have used https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term instead of gterm for the real flickery tiny terminal experience

Depends a lot on your existing reverse proxy.

You can read the nginx config that the defaults include and it’s some basic rules to route incoming requests to either lemmy or lemmy-ui. If your existing reverse proxy is nginx you could just incorporate the rules in there.

It also depends on why you need it behind the existing proxy, and how you’ll choose to route your traffic, and where you traffic is coming from in general.

I’d start with taking a look at the default nginx config to see if you can move those rules to your existing reverse proxy, or just forward everything coming in that’s for lemmy straight to the lemmy reverse proxy, although that might be more complicated in correctly preserving the incoming requests.

Many years ago working for a monitoring software company someone had found a bug in the uptime monitoring rules where they reset after a year.

It was patched and I upgraded one client and their whole Solaris plant immediately went red and alerted. They told me to double it to two years and some stuff was still alerting.

They just said they’d try to get around to rebooting it, but it was all stable.

Everywhere else I’ve worked enforces regular reboots.

If you want a reliable provider try Fastmail. Used them for years, very rare outages. I have my local postfix set to relay to them for locally sent mail. Great web UI.

I really don’t like the “but otherwise we’d need a warrant” approach.

Yes, of course you should need a warrant. That’s the bit that’s the safeguard and actually is the checks and balance against abuse. It’s not a problem to be optimized away.

Traditional lox is just brined in salt, no smoking.

Gravadlax is brined in salt and sugar with spices.

Smoked salmon is just smoked salmon, like nova, in the US.

Due to customer preference and lack of knowledge, most want smoked salmon when they ask for lox, so are sold lox.

Sounds like you need bevel gears.

I’m with Gordon though. It’s easier to move the fitting than rig up gearing.

I’ve done this for years, but also:

• anything automated goes straight to specific folders for those categories. Very quickly identify stuff that’s noise and put in rules to move it out of your inbox. Sure some stuff you might need, but anything that’s corporate spam needs automating away.
• use (and create if necessary) the right mail groups so your whole team, project partners, whoever see the right emails and ask people to use them.
• add a VIP rule to highlight emails from the boss, VP, anyone you know you want to read right away
• be clear with people on how to reach you. If you prefer Slack for immediate stuff, tell people. It’s fine to be clear that email is for less immediate consumption, or non-conversational stuff. Slack is far better for collab.

Most towers will fit 4 drives.

If you’re out of SATA ports or M2s you can buy PCI adapters.

If you’re buying SSDs they’re small and don’t care about orientation, can but plugged into the cables and stuffed anywhere in the case that doesn’t impede airflow.

Where do you want your drives? What sort of drives? I’ve also found it more performant to stuff them in the case and 4 drives isn’t a stretch unless you’re also running a ton in the target server.

Fastmail.

But, it’s not the cheapest. $5 a month gets what you need though.

Really quick WebUI, great features, including hosting your own domains and smtp rewriting.

Very smart helpful support team.

Great for degoogling.

The major email providers will only handle email from know good and trusted IPs. If you’ve been hosting on the same IP for 15 years you’re trusted. If you started it last night your IP is still untrusted. It takes a long time to gain trust.
