Cool recommendation! I just bought one!

I am hoping with all hope that it will let me replace my Roku for streaming.

As great as the functionality of the Roku is, the constant advertising makes me loath this thing. I do not want it anymore.


I have been learning about it, and what really has motivated was seeing my current provider ProtonMail have an anniversary sale, and just having the least affordable pricing just to get a couple features I need. I have never been a fan of cloud storage, I have never needed an online service to handle my calendars or whatever else.

I need to do do this out of principle.

You are right, that is a lot of software in use. However, I have been given a lot of recommendations. I got my own domain name. I am almost ready. I just need to setup a few more things. I am taking a long time to do this, I got distracted with other self-hosted applications, but I do want to try running a mailserver.


I am going off my childhood memories, but I remember it being awesome.

A running theme I remember the most is the main character having a high pain threshold, which basically translates to him getting tortured every episode.


I never got to see the ending. I only watched a handful of episodes, and definitely nowhere close to the 66 that were produced.

I am glad that it has a good ending. Seems like a perfect capsule of a series.


Beautiful! Thank you so much. It is very nostalgic for me too.

Damn. Just a minute going to donate to archive.org. It needs to keep existing.



Seven Days. It has one of the coolest premises, and the lead is like a combination of James Bond and McGuyver.

I never found it on any tracker, but I literally looked it up before writing this and learned it has a DVD release in 2018, so that is exciting.


I am learning this is the case. I think I may be better off running a Nextcloud instance, or similar suite using better applications for stuff like file sharing, which is more important.

That sounds like the right middle ground for me. I know for sure my home network is not as secure as it could be, especially since I live with people who need everything online to work without obstacles. I can’t even install PiHole.

But, hosting is probably more affordable in a year than the amount I might spend on coffee in a week. And I typically make my own coffee.


[Question] Does anyone run their own email server?
All this new excitement with Lemmy and federation has got me thinking that maybe I should learn to run my own instance. What always comes up though is how email is the orginal federated technology. I am looking at proxmox and see that is has a built in email server, so now I am wondering if it is time to role my own. I stopped using gmail a long time ago, and right now I use ProtonMail, but I am super frustrated with the dumb limitation of only having a single account for the app. I get why they do it, and I am willing to pay, but it is pricey and I don't know if that is my best option. I guess it is worth it since ProtonVPN is included. It looks like they are expanding their suite. Is it worth it? Can I make it secure? Is it stupid to run it off a local computer on my home network?
