If you don’t have phone Sims/phone numbers then you can use something like Mumble.

I setup my own server locally and have a VPN to it. My kids phone can connect then and we can talk over a local LAN or with a VPN if I’m elsewhere.

Other than that. Discord?

https://zulip.com/ is likely your best alternative. It’s more a Slack copy than Discord but the features are there

Where’s the flaming sword?

Thanks!

It sure is: https://github.com/MajesticTechie/CloudflareDynamicDNS

If this is for DynamicDNS, I host my DNS at cpiudflare for my domain and use a script which performs a lookup every 15 mins. It uses CF’s API to then update the record if it changes.

For DNS resolution, I use pi hole quad9 resolvers

Edit: sorry, just re-read and realised your talking about DNS hosting for a domain. honestly I use my Cloudflare or my domain provider. Given a single IP is a point of failure, it makes sense to have multiple NS on different networks/IPs. You also have to take into account Glue records and while not required, reverse DNS is also good. If you have Dynamic IPs it’s not worth it since glue records will need changing and those are manual each time

Well what about the roads? Oh and the aqueducts!

Yeah, the decoding is too much. So offloading it to the device makes more sense. My average load while streaming is 0.5

That’s correct yes. The server runs fine I average a load of less than 1 during a stream. However I do have to use the Applications as using the web interface for the larger files really chugs along.

Same. I’m running JF on a Pi3b with 1GB ram rn

I would love to pick up a playlist from where I left off in the home screen. Like how the streaming platforms do.

The way I have to do it is go to the Playlist > find the episode I want to watch > Select “Play from here”.

What’s the benefit of using a Private tracker? If you have a VPN shouldn’t that cover you?

I found this the other day: https://revolt.chat/

I have yet to deploy it but from what I’ve seen it’s a discord alternative

I also suggest cPanel. You can get a web host with Cpanel from about £20-£30 a year.

setup emails, wildcards, host a site, let’s encrypt options, etc. May as well get the most bang for ya buck.

I’ve never seen a message denied for DNSSEC. It may be a thing they do in the future, I do think all domains should use it but it’s not something that’ll deny a message.

It’s not an official one: https://thomaspark.co/2017/01/relevant-xkcd/

Mail-tester is just for outbound deliverability, nothing else. DNSSEC is really just for security practices. That doesn’t really effect outbound deliverability though which is always a bigger concern for me.

Try using this and sent it a test mail: https://www.mail-tester.com/

It’ll check blacklists, configuration, DNS and mail content itself for any issues

1. When the content is no longer available for retail purchase (i.e old games or shows that have been pulled entirely [see Infinity Train])
2. You have a physical copy, but want a digital version.
