Excellent, I hadn’t come across this yet, many thanks!
Just fyi, you typed the link to their main source code as github.org instead of .com :)
ETA: Been reading up today, and I’m fully onboard. Glad it uses opensearch, mega easy to just replace SearXNG, and the approach to the curation with the crawler extension is neato.
I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.
It’s not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.
IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.
The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.
Let’s Backtrack a little bit
You could almost play the game: “Linux Distro or Weed Strain?”
Other than my Steam Deck, I daily drive NixOS and it runs on all my servers. Can confirm the glory (hole).
Valve over here puttin’ everybody on Arch
I never really used Flatpaks until I got a Steam Deck and started doing a little game dev on it.
I now have an init script that I run after every SteamOS update to install paru and other libraries via pacman instead, lmao.
it’s an app on Flatpak called Flatseal, it’s a GUI to give flatpaks permissions and such.
I spend hours writing a bash script to automate something I know I’m only going to do once.
Oh man, since I know very little about developing at the kernel level, I bet I’d get some sweet and soul-crushing novellas.
Is there a fetish community for people that want to be ripped apart by Torvalds’ anger?
I’m always backing up with SyncThing in realtime, but every week I do an off-site type of tarball backup that isn’t within the SyncThing setup.
just for future reference (click the source button to see how I embedded your image)
Yea, if you are not willing to be meticulous about learning/understanding all the DNS stuff (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and plan to host this at home, don’t.
I ran this same system for a very long time on a VPS and had no problems with blacklists, but I’m also a career systems engineer that maintained enterprise systems and exchange servers.
Also note how I am speaking of MIAB in the past tense…
I think the better option is to try and avoid email as much as you can, just like SMS. Outdated tech and not secure. At that point, any ol’ existing email service is good enough.
DDG partnered with Microsoft which allows Microsoft to ignore the tracking protections in the iOS and Android browsers, all in the name of serving you “relevant ads” like that’s something I want. They can make all the soothing claims they want, I won’t use them ever again.

Try SearXNG, It aggregates from several search engines into one result list with no tracking. Also FOSS.
Indeed, you are not wrong. Such is the state of many, many things.
I admit it’s easy enough to say, “let’s get rid of it”, but without a solution it’s meaningless to say and is just an ideology.
