Re:Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi? on Tuesday June 25, 2019 @10:03AM (#20274254)
I installed the Pi-hole ad blocker (https://pi-hole.net/) on a Raspberry Pi Zero, and have it as my DNS server on my home network. It has improved general browsing speed tremendously.

Not really. The concept existed and was well known in many developer circles (e.g. List Apart Issue 268 from 2008 http://alistapart.com/issue/268/).

Ask HN: What reliable SMTP service to use for low volume emails (~500 p/m)

from the ask-hn dept.

I am currently using SendGrid, but the deliverability of messages is around 85%. It seems that if you use their free plan, the IP addresses used are shared between other free users and that opens up the possibility of abuse that affects all other free users.Is there an alternative solution that gives close to 100% deliverability? (paid or free).

Ask HN: What is a modern-day alternative to a Majordomo mailing list?

Posted by glenscott1 on Saturday September 01, 2018 @03:41AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have a requirement to set up a private email list for around 20 users. I have a Linode server on which to self-host the software. Many, many years ago, I used to run a Majordomo mailing list, so I am looking for something similar. It needs to be completely email controlled -- e.g. you can subscribe, unsubscribe and post via email. Web interface is not required. Open source preferred.

I can thoroughly recommend reading Atul Gawande's "Checklist Manifesto". The premise, on the face of it, is mundane, but the stories that back up the claims are thoroughly enjoyable to read. http://atulgawande.com/book/the-checklist-manifesto/
