JRaccoon

Just a lvl 28 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but actually more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

  • I recently set up the whole stack (Postfix, Dovecot, OpenDKIM) on a VPS. I wanted to do it from home, but my ISP won’t provide a static IP or open ports 25/465/587 for consumer customers, no exceptions.

    It took me about two days to get everything working, but most of that was because I went in with very little knowledge of how email even actually works. If you’re looking for a learning experience, I’d say go for it. If you just want a working email setup quickly, I wouldn’t recommend it.

    I haven’t noticed any deliverability issues so far. Just make sure you have SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and PTR records all set correctly from the start.







  • You can do it from a live cd/usb just fine, but you’ll need to repeat some preparation steps (basically chapter 2 of the book) every time you boot the host.

    The way I did was to install the host (I chose Debian) on a small partition on the disk, leaving most of the space for the LFS partition. Once the (B)LFS build was complete enough that I didn’t need the host anymore, I just removed its partition and expanded the LFS partition into the now unallocated space.




  • I’m opposite of that, I don’t like ball gags, mostly because of the drooling they cause. I know some people find that hot, but it’s not for me. I’ve heard ring gags cause less drooling, not sure if true. In general I prefer when the sub can still scream, beg, talk back, and everything in between, why take that away with a gag :3




  • I’ve been thinking a bit. Not so many people are reporting the same issue so maybe it’s related to the number of subscribed communities I have or something else like that? I have quite a few subscriptions actually. The problem seems to only occur when logged in, so that would support that theory. But it’s difficult to pinpoint the issue as I need to wait at least a couple of hours for it to be slow again.

    If there’s any additional information that I can provide that might help in debugging this, I’m happy to help.
