2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    How do you get around websites that force you to use whitelisted domains? I had a self hosted email for a while and I was often considered spam.

    [–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

    I tell them to go fuck themselves. A more serious problem is that unless you sign up with a provider that has all of the encryption/verification stuff sorted out and a significant amount of outgoing mail, your messages will go straight to spam for everyone else.

    I've never encountered a site which had an allow list of domain names. The hardest thing about self hosting an email server is most home ISPs will block SMTP as it's a source of spam. Usually this requires business level ISP or an SMTP relay, both which aren't usually free from what you're already paying for home internet.

    My local cinema locked my account after I changed my old GM for SimpleLogin. They told me I must use "non temporary or encrypted email" to log in.

    [–] piefedderatedd@piefed.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    What ? Is that even legal for them to do so ?

    [–] lemmyrolinga@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

    Don't know. Probably. I'm not in the US or UE, our laws are still dealing with that new thing called Fax Machine

    [–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    That's not an allowlist though, SimpleLogin was on a denylist, possible because of high rates of spam. An allow list would be if they only allowed @gmail.com for example. If you have your own domain and set it up to use Proton Mail, you shouldn't have any problems.

    Well... More or less. They specifically told me that I needed a "public domain email" and that it couldn't be encrypted. I read their ToS and it wasn't written anywhere. They didn't sound like they were too tech savvy and I had to insist before I got that answer. They are most likely just a call center with a manual to follow.

    What I bothered the most is that they allowed me to change the mail. The kept sending me (wanted) ads there and I could login into their site. They even kept charging my subscription. Until I tried to pay for extra tickets. That broke their system and got stuck. After that I couldn't even use the tickets I already had in my account from the subscription.

    I'm not proud to admit that I finally caved and went back to my old mail for the moment. I even had to show them an ID (which at least partially defaced before) so that I could use the tickets I has already paid for
