Super surprised /s

Worked for me!

Appreciate the link.

You actually can already.

If no one has done it already, you’ll take the full URL to the “magazine” on kbin and pop it in the search bar.

After a few moments it should pop up and you should be able to navigate to the channel and subscribe.

An example of a kbin community on my instance: https://lolimbeer.com/c/mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social

It’s all completely fiddly, lol.

It’s neat! But there’s a definitely a lot of things that aren’t quite that intuitive.

Glad I was able to help though!

While I do most actions with the git command or the git fugitive plugin from tpope, I will sometimes whip out lazygit for certain things I don’t do that often.

I haven’t looked into the orange pi yet! But, I’ll take a peek and see what it has to offer and if openwrt has support for it.

Thanks, cyberic! I appreciate it.

Thanks for the advice! I didn’t know that existed at all.

If you’re standing something up for yourself, and it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, any email provider that provides SMTP *will work.

This even includes gmail: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en

But, another thing to remember is that many hosting providers block the default ports by default. Many will open the port with a customer service ticket but others will only do it at a certain “tier” of service.

You mentioned a droplet so I googled digital ocean and smtp, and this thread popped up: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/sending-email-with-do-app-is-it-possible

I, personally, use linode as my provider and I had to open a ticket with support in order to unblock the right ports to send email.

As an aside:

Standing up an email server itself is a good exercise because it’s an absolute PITA. Mainly due to trust and ensuring all your DNS records are right and stuff.

Overall, it’s a nifty exercise to understand but I, personally, don’t really feel like it’s worth the pain.

Edit: forgot to finish a sentence

I love this lil’ thing.

The simplicity of it is absolutely fantastic.

I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.

We’re lolimbeer.com !

Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.

But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.

I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.
