beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Holy crap!
I really want to host my own email service, but I was just looking at mail-in-a-box and mailcow docs and it sound HARD! also the hardware requirements for mailcow are insane (8gb ram for 5-10 users? And 40gb space?)

Have been wanting to do this for a long time but these things are preventing me to.

Might do it when I have spare time and energy.

Just got around to finally setting up MTA-STS (rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8461.txt) and SMTP TLS Reporting (rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8460.txt) on a couple of domains following this pretty concise and simple guide: dmatthews.org/email_server/mta

I can now ward off being shit canned by google for sending emails another few years I guess, at the cost of yet more TXT records, and this time some LE certs and hosting a text file on a webserver.

A text file. On a webserver. For email. Truly outstanding technology. /s

Hey folks! I'm working on getting a newsletter set up for my city council campaign and wanted to see if anyone had email newsletter tools they particularly liked! This is a prime subject for SEO trash, so I'd prefer to ask real humans than a search engine or AI. Anyone have newsletter software they like? I know of a few but wanted to see what else was out there.

Email and smtp should die there is no logical reason for them to exist anymore.

With the fantastic rich features of secure messaging services out there, it’s the digital equivalent of a fax, insecure, outdated, clunky requires a shit ton of maintenance, needs several other products to ensure it’s at least nominally useful, and the inboxes are full of useless marketing bullshit.

I hate when you buy something online and then 5min after you pick it up, they send you an email like “please rate your purchase”

I’m still in the parking lot

I haven’t gotten it to my home yet

It’s still in the box

It’s a gift, maybe I should forward this to them?
