I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?

This is not at all my experience with custom mail domains.

And I say that after spending a lot of time setting SPF, DKIM and DMARC filtering.

I guess you got lucky.

Does it?

Do you think spammer will just stop at the first address and then call it a day?

In my experience there is no such thing as a “catch all” domain address. The second your domain leaks then many spammer will just go into a frenzy and try hundreds or thousands of mail aliases.

Especially since they can’t really spam Gmail as easily (since early 2024) they will even more aggressively spam any other domain.

For some reason I can’t open any of the pictures you uploaded.

Kind of doubtful there is “redundancy” and you can afford to just straight up lose a component without it having a functional impact.

I assume manufacturers would prefer to get a better component that is guaranteed to last as long as the warranty rather than put many components in parallel and just hope they are lucky not to get many failing components at the same time that are supposed to be redundant.

I asked ChatGPT about this as I was curious about the design of modern motherboard and redundancy.

Take that with a grain of salt obviously :

In some cases, motherboard manufacturers may design circuits with redundant or parallel components, but this is not the norm for most consumer-grade motherboards. Instead, multiple components, such as MOSFETs, are often used in parallel to handle higher current loads or improve power delivery efficiency, rather than as a backup in case of failure.

Key Points to Consider:

1. Parallel MOSFETs in VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules):

Modern motherboards often use multiple MOSFETs in parallel within the VRM section to distribute the load. This improves thermal performance and ensures stable power delivery to the CPU, GPU, or RAM.

If one MOSFET is removed or fails, the others may compensate temporarily, but this could lead to overheating or instability, especially under high load.

2. Redundancy for Reliability:

True redundancy, where one component is a backup for another, is uncommon in consumer motherboards due to cost constraints. It is more likely to be found in high-end server motherboards or mission-critical systems.

3. The System Boots, But Risks Remain:

The system may still boot because the remaining MOSFETs are compensating for the missing one. However, this can stress the remaining components, potentially leading to overheating, instability, or premature failure.

4. Importance of the Detached MOSFET’s Location:

If the detached MOSFET was part of the VRM or another critical circuit, its absence could reduce power delivery efficiency and system stability. If it was part of a less critical section, the impact might be minimal.

5. Repair is Recommended:

Even if the system appears to work, running it with a missing MOSFET is risky. The component should be re-soldered or the motherboard replaced to ensure long-term reliability.

Advice for the Person:

If they suspect a detached MOSFET:

Identify its exact role on the motherboard (consult the schematic or motherboard layout if available).

Avoid stressing the system until the issue is resolved.

Seek professional repair to reattach the component if they lack the tools or expertise to do so.

While the system might seem fine for now, ignoring the issue could lead to further damage or failure.

I’m a bit skeptical on the Email alias feature but this is a really cool project.

I just don’t know how practical it is to use custom domains to receive those confirmation emails.

Wouldn’t you receive a ton of spam once your email domain leaks (which will eventually happen)?

Email is also useful for password reset.

Hey you can believe what you want. They may be in the wrong but I would say it’s statistically way more likely OP just got what he deserves.

Just like any criminal would systematically say they are innocent even after an appeal.

Maybe OP could show us screenshots of that appeal? Just curious.

Exactly.

He wasn’t banned for no reason. Every banned user says that and then a mod will show a ton of very offensive behaviour.

Ah I get it.

Anyway low consumption kind of mandates that kind of flash build IMO.

Isn’t there any way you could stagger buying those SSD? Like you buy them one by one only on sales or refurbished hardware.

You could also maybe attempt a raid5 only with only 3 disks until you could buy a fourth one?

Anyway good luck!

I’m sorry if this is not relevant but I don’t have the time to read that whole of text:

I think this is at least similar to what you want to achieve.

I just got to say this website is a nightmare. At least 4 popups overlays just opening the article. The remove ads button just leaves the article and offer you to pay to remove ads. There is also delayed popups appearing while you read the article…

Are they speedrunning obsolence by making sure nobody read their articles online?

Have you searched online at all?

I think copy pasting your post literally to the dot on Google gives the result. (CBS news) :

Harris and Trump have competing tax plans. Here’s how your paycheck would change under both.

First result too. Amazing.

Sometimes I wonder if people like you don’t see the disrespect in asking other people to do things you could do in a matter of seconds out of pure laziness.

I obviously won’t link the article because I’m too pissed and I think you need to learn that people here are not working for you. This post is a literal waste of space and time.

It could loopback to you…

Also if you put “sensitive” information in your history by mistake you can use “history -d <line#>” to remove it.

Unfortunately I had to use this command too many times.

Seriously, some people are that good that you know they could do almost anything very well in a matter of days.

So why not ? I always have a lot of respect for someone that is willing to drastically change their lives in order to improve.

If you do self host I suggest reading carefully the Gmail guidelines for mails. They are the leaders in the field and they dictate the level of security required.

DNS forward and reverse, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, ARC, DANE, bounce signature etc. Email is indeed a very complicated thing to host. I work on emails system all day and and I wouldn’t host my own mail.

Even worse I’m hoping email disappear and another technology takes it place. Emails are unreliable and outdated, they need to go.

Honestly, the only good advice is to consult a doctor.

Zabbix still remains a good choice imo. It works fine with Grafana et now the Zabbix-grafana plugin is officially supported by Grafana.

Zabbix without Grafana is pretty weak in term of visualization.

Same devs as the Nvidia driver installer?

I always select the custom install option and always get recommended the same version that is already installed.

(Physics engine or something).

Oh no you have to say it out loud EVERY time ?

So install truck brakes on the luggage then use brake cleaner. Got it.

Thank you for the advice.
