Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

Cowabunghole,

Just throwing in my two cents since I just went through this same ordeal: I use Proton, but be aware that you can only use a custom address if you pay for the premium plan which is not crazy cheap. I’ve been pretty happy with their premium plan so far, which includes premium features for mail, calendar, cloud drive, VPN, and password manager, but if I ever decide that I don’t want to keep paying for it, I can always transfer my custom domain to a different provider without needing to update my email.

As for the domain, I went with namecheap. I also have a pretty common name, so the good domains were taken and I had to settle for firstname@lastname.in but I think it’s still pretty easy to remember.

Cowabunghole,

Interesting. I have always used their web app (even on mobile, i just use their pwa instead of the native app since the native app is missing obvious features), and I haven’t had any issues, but I can definitely understand the frustration if you want to use anything else. OP, keep that in mind if you’re thinking about Proton!

Cowabunghole,

It’s been one of my favorite games since I first played it ~25 years ago, so it makes me so happy to hear that it (mostly) holds up. I have my opinions about Tooie (both good and bad), but I’ll let you form your own opinions about it. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Also, it’s too bad they never made a third game. But if they did I can only imagine they would have done something crazy like remove the platforming and added in some vehicle building mechanic. Thank goodness that never happened!

Cowabunghole,

Life is Strange for sure. Idk what it is but I was emotional for days after finishing it. Wasn’t a huge fan of the others in the series but I can’t recommend the first one enough

Cowabunghole,

Maybe because “take upvote” doesn’t contribute at all to the discussion. I mean, that’s literally the point of the upvote, you don’t need to comment as well if you’re not adding anything that other people want to see

Cowabunghole,

I’m also struggling to understand how and why it’s being compared to Twitter. How are they even related?

Cowabunghole,

It’s my understanding that i,j are conventionally used in mathematics which carried over into programming, but specifically it comes from Fortran in which all integer variables start with “I” through “N” based on said mathematical convention

Cowabunghole,

VVVVV - The same game but 17% shorter

...Sorry for the shitpost

Cowabunghole,

Question: what do people have against chromium? I understand not liking Chrome specifically, but what's the issue with non-Google chromium? I use Brave on my PC and phone, and Edge for work.

As for Firefox, I love and appreciate what they are doing and what they stand for. I tried using it and had one bad experience, where I was doing some web dev and encountered a bug that drove me crazy trying to fix, only to find it was a bug with FF itself. So I switched to Brave for development, and then I liked it and haven't switched back. So, not to say that one little bug "ruined" FF for me, I just haven't had any reason to stop using Brave.

Cowabunghole,

That's fair, but FYI for ad block specifically, Brave has it built in rather than as an extension so it works regardless of manifest v3. I think the same is true for Vivaldi but I can't say from experience how it compares

Cowabunghole,

I feel like it's easier and more rewarding to comment when it's a smaller community. The problem is that I don't have anything interesting to post :/

Cowabunghole,

Hi! I've been thinking about jumping ship on reddit for a while, and I think lemmy is looking really promising. Here's hoping it takes off and becomes popular (but not too popular)!
