Froot75407ySo if I spoofed my email address and added a "reply to" you'd spill the details of any account I just spoofed? 🤔
-
@Froot And that's why the system checks stuff like the SPF records and such. Anti mail spoofing mechanisms :)
-
@linuxxx you should do a blog/website where you talk about all those things that you use for security
-
@linuxxx by the way if youre searching for some easy platform to start if of: https://hexo.io/ is amazing and can be hosted anywhere as it is a static content generator
-
@JoshBent Nah more expensive but lemme take a look! Do you know if namecheap is reliable?
-
@linuxxx its my opinion, but its the most safest way to go (also the cheapest in 90% of the times), they have amazing support and training, so any social engineering gets easily reported and blocked for example, they have 2fa, whois protections and more
-
@linuxxx I would recommend using it with cloudflare though, since cloudflare has a way better way of handling subdomains, free ssl etc.
-
@linuxxx "We provide support for A, CNAME, NS, MX, TXT, SRV, AAAA record types." or as said before you just change the nameservers yourself and use some external service like cloudflare and I have never paid for dns, but they have amazing live support you can use to ask them all: https://namecheap.com/support/... (at the bottom "live chat support")
-
@linuxxx regarding vat, just visit this link either via US vpn or your actual connection: https://namecheap.com/domains/... and add it via the little cart icon to the cart right from it - to get the $ price with all things added together. (except for things like paypal/CC fees I believe)

mundo0349117y@JoshBent I just went through hexo.io docs, Pelican is way easier to work with. Specially for non technical person, I am starting a project with a translator and Pelican is what I am using.
Specially because I do not love node :) -
@mundo03 I love hexo because it has just straight out stunning themes (+support/community) you can download, customize in seconds and also the docs and website looks beautiful/readable too, I hate docs similar to the pelican you mentioned, which make me often spend more time than needed figuring out how things work - but basically theres millions of those generators listed here: https://www.staticgen.com/ and to each their own :)

@mundo03 you're welcome, do check out the link I posted just now too, maybe you find something that fits you even better than hexo, its really subjective afterall.
-
mundo0349117y@JoshBent yeah, i am looking for something that localize articles, so a blog site generator works. i just found a couple :)
-
@linuxxx I would like that as well depending on the writing style. I dont like passive aggressive in posts that are supposed to teach you something.
-
@Codex404 It won't be devRant style and will actually be supposed to teach one something or inform people :)
-
@matsaki95 Domain is in the air, going to decide on which CMS'ish thingy to use now and possibly going to route it through CloudFlare (@PerfectAsshole what do you think about cloudflare?)!
-
@Codex404 Thanks for the suggestion! Currently looking into static cms/site generators right now :D
-
w4tsn33837y@linuxxx I assume you know Jekyll? I'm hosting my blog with it on github because I'm lazy but want to share shit anyways.
-
@justwellbrock I just found out about it thanks to PerfectAsshole. I just can't wrap my head around how this thing works :/. Every article I find about it explains it in a way which I just don't get :(
-
w4tsn33837y@linuxxx actually I found the docs helpful https://jekyllrb.com/docs/usage/
This also https://bytesandwich.com/jekyll/...
The following Jekyll site compiles directly through github pages, so has no more dependencies/no need to build locally https://github.com/TaylanTatli/...
Basically you write content in markdown, it gets transformed through node modules, templates and other magic and the final sites are generated into a target directory.
On github pages it can build basic sites without installing the node modules locally. For more sophisticated stuff you have to install deps with brew to get all dependencies.
For more complex setups or self-hosted I'd recommend the Docker image to keep local dependencies low https://hub.docker.com/r/jekyll/.... Maybe build your own ontop of it.
edit: it's actually not node, but ruby. Sorry, to much work with node at the moment :/ -
@justwellbrock I'll look into the self hosting part, also going to look into Hexo and a suggestion AlexDeLarge gave, thanks!
-
w4tsn33837y@linuxxx I'll also have a look at hexo. It looks interesting to say the least.
For those interested hexo can also be used on github pages https://gist.github.com/btfak/... -
@justwellbrock Yeah it looks great. Gotta say that I don't have a github account but I'm on gitlab though :P
-
@linuxxx personally i don't like cloudflare and there's no real reason to use them anymore. I'm actually surprised they're still in business after cloudbleed
-
@PerfectAsshole cdn, https, caching, amazing dns managing, heavy anti ddos - all that for free (except business packages).

Oh you "don't agree" with that?
Guess what, never gonna give you up!
Oh, typo, that should've been: never gonna give a fuck!
No, seriously, I couldn't care less.
