Most people are under the impression that their IP being public is somehow super dangerous, and that “hackers will attack me” if it ever gets out. So likely “all the attacks against my entire network.”
Edit: Secondary thought, they legitimately have unsecured endpoints on their IP, and are hoping no one will notice if they aren’t handing out their IP to others. Still incorrect though.

To be fair, last update isn’t the end all be all. If the project is in a stable place, and there haven’t been any breaking changes, there’s just no need to update.
If you’re only exposing your services through a cloudflare tunnel, it doesn’t even matter if they get your real IP.
That was my thought process when I got it, and it was only $99 when I purchased. As long as the host (one man show unfortunately) remains, I’ve got a reliable email system in place. And he does an amazing job of keeping off spam lists.
https://mxroute.com/ currently offers “lifetime” with 10GB combined storage, unlimited mailboxes, unlimited domains, for $129. I bought it a year or so back, no complaints.
Purely for storage, no processing? I just finally got around to checking pricing and went with Backblaze B2. Not certain it’s the best, or cheapest, but I’m serving files out of it through cloudflare and it seemed to be a decent choice.
When you’re shipping one item, sure… kinda. When you’re shipping five, it doesn’t make sense to tape the exact same thing to every single one. Especially if the paper is bigger than the item.
We typically affix it to the invoice and package so it’s seen first thing. That’s the best solution we’ve come up with.
As someone who regularly ships items with a slip of paper meant to be read, this was infuriating to read. Lmao
You can also proxy egress through cloudflare and not have to worry about egress costs whatsoever.
Oh no.
Anyway.
Edit: lmao just realized, you upvote your own comments from any alt. It’s the only thing that explains you having got +1 on a comment within 3 minutes of posting, on a 4 day old thread.
The potential for data loss is more catastrophic, a misconfiguration can go unnoticed for long periods of time, your IP can be listed as spam without notification, and more. Not to mention, short term downtime of a couple days can result in loss of emails.
Is it easy to spin up a docker image and call it a day? Certainly. But there is a lot more involved in a healthy email server, and there are a lot of pitfalls.
Email is one of those things that virtually everyone agrees is better off not self hosted. Similar to how most in the cooking world agree you shouldn’t be making fugu at home. Though admittedly, usually no one dies if you fuck up your email server.
Honestly you’re generally going to have a better time with email if you outsource it. There are just so many “oops lost email” scenarios.
Unless of course you have a dynamic ip address.
Does it have a way to sync with mobile devices? I’ve not run into such an integration, but thought I’d ask just in case.
Firstly, I absolutely agree you should be hardwiring any kind of infrastructure. But honestly, even over WiFi your main latency is going to come from the WAN hop to whatever upstream DNS you’ve configured.
Nah, it’s just stuff I set up as needed.
The page rules are basic, one redirects to an Etsy shop, another to serve images for email from a cdn, and another for handling QR codes.
Tunnels are set up for subdomains to reach internal network stuff, with a Cloudflare Zero Trust login which prompts for those that don’t have secure logins.
The DNS stuff is subdomains, email records, and a few records for certain game servers.
I also use cloudflare to monitor my DKIM rejections, though my email is through mxroute as they have/had a lifetime option and I don’t like subscriptions.
There are a few different sites as well, one is personal, one is for public facing stuff, a couple for side businesses.
It’s honestly just easier to keep as much together as possible.
Likely a bad description. I more meant DNS, page rules, tunnels, zero trust logins, and more. It’s honestly just easier to keep it all in one place, and to be honest they are one of the more reliable sources for… literally all of those things.
… what?
Them: “I want a centralized place to handle all my graphics stuff, so I can access graphically intensive things from any device.”
You: “Must be incest renders because you already have hardware and say you use it for work.”
So according to you, contractors don’t exist, iPhones can play PC games, and anyone wanting to split PC resources between multiple use cases is shady.
What’s ridiculous is that you seem to think extreme paranoia is a normal thing in everyday life.
