Yes, your server needs to be full domain name. Otherwise, when typing a username (like @myusername:myserver.com) other servers would need to know where that myserver.com is.

Conduit needs to know it’s domain Because it is part of usernames.

Only for yourself or so you share?

If share, please say how well it use the disk.

No problem.

Overall, purely technically, no. This has to be the hostname of the computer the Conduit is running on. And it can be in the local network (LAN) with your own name.

But practically, yes. Because you must buy a domain name and point that domain to the server localtion (IP address). And the only global domain names available to register have TLDs :).

So, yes.

SimpleLogin is for mail aliasing, not transactional mail.

They are planning a first stable release this year. Give them time, it’s much easier to develop software in first stares when you don’t need to think about backwards compatibility and tech dept.

Migadu is great but they state in their policy that automated (non-human) outgoing email like for password resets are not allowed.

Add this repository to the F-Droid app.

Even better, if that’s not something available from outside, to just enable mDNS.

You can subnet it with the exact same rulea as IPv4, nothing is chaning there.

Replace, for example, 192.168. with fd01::, with digits after this being divided however you like. You might step upon a too basic router that has it’s own way to assign addresses with no way to change it, but that would not be IPv6 fault.

You’ll still pay, just not have an option not to pay.

Meanwhile me who needs to pay 97 EUR / year for two V4 to V6 proxies so people not having (or disabling, ugh) V6 can connect to my stuff.

Actually those proxies are still cheaper than renting v4 address space for all my servers.

This. And also disable https. Those things just break all the time.

By disabling both v4 and v6 you can fix 100% of the problems.

that’s our ISPs’ problem

If the Internet means for you a way to access Facebook, Netflix, Google and YouTube, yeah.
But if it means a network to send something to another computer then it’s a huge problem.

Because ISP won’t care if you can accept connections or not. They don’t care about decentralization and being able to host stuff yourself. Most consumers just want a pipe to big services and not to their friend’s house.

Who needs an IP address anymore? What year is it? You want to connect to your friend’s computer and exchange some information via computer system, seriously? Just use Cloudflare, Google or Azure and route everything through them.

Imagine getting out of phone numbers, so the solutions is for everyone to call the last remaining people with public/routable numbers 24/7 so those people would redirect messages to others.

With Internet, users does not see that easly, but if you host anything for others it’s getting harder and harder to accept incoming connections without many layers of hacks to bypass hacks that ISPs do to keep IPv4 network working.

Since I bought a domain name I do not remember IP addresses. Just like I don’t remember password since I installed password manager or not remember phone numbers since I have a smartphone.

It’s only annoying when being on someone’s else computer without my clipboard sharing setup and need to copy an address by hand. But that’s an issue when setting something up. I would take this inconvenience while setting up than all everyday inconveniences that IPv4 created in last years.

What I want to do. But the question is how?

VPS as a proxy… but when I point A record to VPS and AAAA record to server in my home, how would the VPS know which traffic to pass and how.

as frustrating

I do not know Windows administration at all. So half of my frustration is definetly by the lack of knowledge.

But I also am scratching my head about so many things that are not clear.\

1. Let’s say you need to manage ~10 workstations with dozens of programs and tools installed and keep them up-to-date, what tools Windows have build in for that?\
2. An update broke. On Linux there are wikis explaining exactly what command like “dnf update” do, what files are replaced and I can check logs. On Windows all I know is that update go to some % and rollback, how can I know more?
