I do this on my home network which has a Dynamic IP. I wrote a script which I cron to check and update it if it changes https://github.com/MajesticTechie/CloudflareDynamicDNS

Skip intro is being built into it natively so this is likely the groundwork for that

I use Synphonium on my phone, it links to my Jellyfin and I can sync/sort and download directly from there. I use just use Spotify free in Firefox with Ublock on PC, that way I get no ads

“how are we losing to Spotify?”

I can no longer hear Scrobble without thinking of Funhaus: https://youtu.be/ZR8az1UMOiQ

I’ve been using it recently without many issues

May I suggest SpotDL specifically for Spotify: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

I know, I was just tryna point out the silver lining

Atleast it’s future proof

I work as a Sysadmin for a web host who sells VPS’s. I’ve helped many people setup domains on their server to cover SPF, DKIM and DMARC passes on a daily basis. Most use these for personal or business level mail delivery without issue.

Are there hurdles to overcome? Sure. But it’s not exactly hard as long as you have a IP that’s isnt a poor reputation (which as an ISP we help delist and improve). But it’s not impossible.

Its more “convenient” to use a third party mail provider just as Office365 since you pass on all that setup and responsibility onto their framework, but it’s not hard to setup a decent level of mail service yourself.

https://zulip.com/ is likely your best alternative. It’s more a Slack copy than Discord but the features are there

So any web host that uses cPanel should be a good thing. IMAP for mail, Caldav for Calendars and Cardav for contacts. It’s what I use anyway and haven’t had any issues

Thanks!

It sure is: https://github.com/MajesticTechie/CloudflareDynamicDNS

If this is for DynamicDNS, I host my DNS at cpiudflare for my domain and use a script which performs a lookup every 15 mins. It uses CF’s API to then update the record if it changes.

For DNS resolution, I use pi hole quad9 resolvers

Edit: sorry, just re-read and realised your talking about DNS hosting for a domain. honestly I use my Cloudflare or my domain provider. Given a single IP is a point of failure, it makes sense to have multiple NS on different networks/IPs. You also have to take into account Glue records and while not required, reverse DNS is also good. If you have Dynamic IPs it’s not worth it since glue records will need changing and those are manual each time

I found this the other day: https://revolt.chat/

I have yet to deploy it but from what I’ve seen it’s a discord alternative

I also suggest cPanel. You can get a web host with Cpanel from about £20-£30 a year.

setup emails, wildcards, host a site, let’s encrypt options, etc. May as well get the most bang for ya buck.

I’ve never seen a message denied for DNSSEC. It may be a thing they do in the future, I do think all domains should use it but it’s not something that’ll deny a message.

Mail-tester is just for outbound deliverability, nothing else. DNSSEC is really just for security practices. That doesn’t really effect outbound deliverability though which is always a bigger concern for me.

Try using this and sent it a test mail: https://www.mail-tester.com/

It’ll check blacklists, configuration, DNS and mail content itself for any issues
