Thanks. Bookmarked.

“It’s always DNS”

Again, you do you.

Me on a RPi4.

More than 2 years with my personal domain and I can’t remember a single spam email… But you do you.

A catch-all domain address with whois privacy and hosted elsewhere helps a lot.

Cloudflare-ddns in docker

Indeed. My bank surely does this better than I could ever do. But if it’s “for fun”, then it’s fine.

+1 for Hetzner

YW 😄

I have a couple of no-brand SATA-USB enclosers with some jmicron chipset. Can’t remember the exact chipset right now, as my RPi is not working ATM (see edit).

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX should do the job

Yeah, I use something like this, a no-brand enclosure.

I’m using a couple of cheap Kingston A400 for my setup (120 and 480 GB) and they work just fine. One thing I noticed is that the 120 GB one’s health went down to 92%, from 100%, in “just” one year (smart parameter). But that’s implies a lifetime of more that 12 years, so I’m not excessively concerned.

EDIT: of course, just after writing this comment the smaller SSD began to behave strangely (errors in dmesg).

I have a couple of subdomains there and yes, it may take a few days for the confirmation. I guess there’s indeed some kind of human review.

Was about to suggest Zoho myself. I have a couple of personal domain email hosted there and they’ve been very reliable until now

I have a .de domain with them. No personal info are shown on whois info.

Was on Namesilo. No complaints, save for the slow website. Changed to porkburn because it was a bit cheaper.

MIne is on a RPi4 4 GB as well (the AIO container) with two SSD and the performance of the frontend are meh… But I seldom use the web part anyway and mainly rely on the desktop client/android App, which work just fine.

WDYM?

EDIT: ok, sorry. Link fixed.
