  • For headphones, DEFINITELY not true in my experience. There’s cheap and gimmicky (like Skullcandy), there’s perceived “luxury” brands like Beats (which aren’t actually worth their money) but then there’s brands that actually offer significantly better quality and longevity for the price, like Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica and Sony to name a few.








  • I do, a bit differently from what’s been mentioned here so far:

    I actually host my server at home, running mailcow as my email-server-software of choice, and incoming emails do get delivered directly to my ISP-assigned IP via dynamically updated DNS records.

    However: Outgoing email is delivered via an SMTP relay service, specifically Mailgun (I like them because for normal everyday email volume it’s free), because even when I was hosting the email server in a datacenter, it was impossible to not encounter deliverability issues.








  • Good point. Though without knowing the exact details, it’s hard to make a call on what the best strategy is.

    If it was me, and I was trying to contest claims as to available bandwidth, I’d probably still be running a regularly scheduled speed test (if nothing else then at least to regularly saturate the connection), and then talk to the ISP with both the speed test results and the bandwidth graph to show as complete a picture as possible.




  • Currently one server as VM host for: -Nextcloud -Mailcow -Apache/PHP/mariadb as both reverse proxy for Nextcloud and the mailcow web interface and webserver for personal and company websites -Custom backup server (wireguard connections to different sites and incremental backup routines with bash/rsync)
