  • Being able to direct my own reccomender system, in order for it to be alligned with my goals and not with my addictive tendencies

    AGREE! There are options for controlling the data side of things, Lemmy, Mastodon, Jellyfin, torrents, but I’ve definitely noticed the recommendation side of things is basically non-existent. What I miss the most from Spotify or Netflix isn’t the music or movies, it’s the recommendations. There’s a ton of content outside the megacorps, but we don’t have a good way to find it.

    It would be awesome if we had an algorithm that we could control. We could tune it to whatever we want, instead of letting these giant megacorps shove their shit in front of us.


  • I like that Migadu gives you a ton of control over your email experience. You can create unlimited users, have unlimited domains, create unlimited aliases, sending identities, they have custom routing features, etc. The backend/management panel seems like it was made with techies in mind. The actual email users don’t have to worry about any of those knobs though.


  • two guys running email?

    Is it? I can’t tell from the about me. It says “In 2014, two of us, Michael Bruderer and Dejan Strbac, started…”, but nothing else on the page talks about the size of the company. It started as two people, but is it currently two people? Anyone know?

    no 2FA support

    The webmail client does have 2FA, but when connecting via client there is no 2FA. Although, not sure what this would look like. Would you enter a TOTP every time you want to connect to the IMAP server? Or do you mean more like an OAuth2 flow, like Gmail, and that asks for your TOTP?

    I actually haven’t gotten around to playing with purelymail. Not sure if they handle this differently. What service are you thinking about?

    Shortcut: use Tailscale to create your own private network and avoid hosting on the big, bad Internet. Otherwise, you really have to be careful on how you protect your services.

    Minor downside (or upside) is that you’ll have to install the Tailscale app on each device you want to make part of the network.

    This made hosting at home a lot easier for me.

    Update: Ah! I misread the post. Tailscale doesn’t make sense for this use case. My bad! 😅
