    I mean… you can, but beyond the technical aspect of setting up the hardware/services/DNS, you also have to deal with the unknowable black boxes that are the major email services. As a very small server, you’re gonna run into deliverability issues and have absolutely no feedback or recourse from the giants. There’s a decent chance that you’ll end up with a perfectly configured mail server that, through no fault of your own, fails to actually get your messages to their recipients.

    (Sorry to be a bummer here! If you do go this route, I hope that everything works out well for you.)

















  • I just moved from a one-piece ergo keyboard (Truly Ergonomic) to a Sofle RGB after spending Way Too Long comparing the available options. It’s pretty good so far. Some early thoughts in case they help:

    • Split design lets you put both pieces exactly where you want them
    • Number key row is right where you expect it, so you don’t need to switch layers for commonly used punctuation
    • It’s a popular keyboard, so it’s not hard to find resources
    • Column stagger feels natural right off the bat
    • Rotary encoders don’t seem very useful so far; I feel like Lily58 might have had this right
    • Modifier keys don’t feel natural yet, especially those on the outside
    • I never thought about which thumb I used for the spacebar until this keyboard was staring at me

    All in all, I’m happy with the Sofle and anticipate using it for a long time.
