I've been hosting a personal domain with an established-but-not-large hosting provider for around 6 years, without any troubles sending or receiving mail from that domain (via the provider's servers, of course).

Does that mean my domain is now well established enough to take email hosting to my own server?

So what are you using it for? (Not criticizing, genuinely curious)

What use is Github / a Github clone to you without knowing git?

Hi,

no, sorry :(

I really don't think it's DNS (famous last words, I know)

I don't have accounts on any other streaming services 😅 YouTube works, though

Do you have a suggestion how to eliminate this as a possibility?

Ah, alright. Yes, I've just double checked. The server end of the tunnel provides a dns server, and the client is configured to use that as its only dns server.

I'm able to resolve DNS requests from the device. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your question? 😅

I've been wondering this. I have multiple of the older (non-Dot, the tall, cylindrical ones) Echoes. I hate using them. But I do like the form factor and sound quality.

It probably can't be too hard to gut everything but the speakers, microphone and DC port, then wire in a Pi / Pi Zero, right...?

Oh, absolutely. In case it wasn't clear, I'm against chatcontrol.

They don't actually have to enforce that though. Rather, it's a neat trick: if you do use encrypted chats, well, you're purposefully doing something illegal! To hide information, no less! That surely means you have more to hide, and since you've already broken a law, let's investigate further!

To be clear: I'm not saying this is the intended effect. But it is a frighteningly possible one. Anyone who has reason to hide their communication (regime critical activists, opposition politicians, investigative journalists,...) either have to

• accept that their communication will be scanned, making it trivial to spy on them and use that information (legally, no less!) to hinder/stop them, or
• do something illegal, giving pretext for hindering/stopping them since they've now committed a crime

Didn't know about this, but sounds like a good cause.

Is there any legal risk involved with this? Is it recommended to run behind a VPN?

Are there? I think they're super handy for just.... Having information. Easily discoverable by search engines, and much more coherent than following a forum thread.
