At least then we'll be able to go back to decent prices etc.

Ask HN: IPv6 capable transactional email senders?

hevisko — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 18:40:26 +0000

Preferably also PostgreSQL, but currently I get answers like "No reliable IPv6 email sending to the big names" and "IPv6 not supported for receiving".

The reason that I'm on this discourse, is that I'm busy deploying IPv6 only hosts, and Mailgun for one doesn't have an IPv6 SMTP only IPv4 ;( and the others I've found either way too expensive or also not IPv6 capable, so I started looking at roll my own... and ran into these constraints just as I'm ready to swallow the docker only options for systems like Postal.io and Hyvor Relay

The passwords and OTP I've been using and found BitWarden to be the winner.. for selfhosting: VaultWarden as the server

yeah that patchy server needs to be retired, but LAMP stacks just keep blowing back the air

YEah... know the feelings... and basically started my own thing... now a "business owner" not dependent on people... but Trusting God!

The biggest reasons I read here for SaaS/subscription are "updates"

ie. "We shipped early something with loads of bugs we intend to fix as you pay us" vs the model of "We make sure things work first time bug free" of days gone past... but then yeah... things changed and become too complex

Must have been DNS... when they did the deployment run and the necessary code was pulled and the DNS failed and then the wrong code got compiled...

that they don't even do staged/A-B pushes was also

But the most.... ironical was: https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/18/security_review_failu...

It's NOT AI, it is what we called it "Expert Systems" way back in the 90s

all LLMs are good at doing that type of pattern matching and assistance.

Fishing tackle - much easier to go fishing than to navigate today's stacks and interfaces.

New comment by hevisko in "Ask HN: What's the best book on religion?"

hevisko — Sun, 28 May 2023 20:42:44 +0000

The Bible (preferably decent literal translations like ESV/NASB/NKJV instead of "dynamic" translations like the NIV/GoodNews/TLT/etc.)

PS: there is a good difference between religion and true Christianity, which involves relationship, not religion/religious behavior

just don't use passwords :)

using decent cryptography correctly, you've just made the problem nearly untractable compared to brute force passwords (which also should be doing things like delays etc.)

Please get the terminology correct: It's called LOADSHEDDING

We in South Africa are used to that term for the past 8+years - phrase/term coined by Eskom!

Mendix ?? They are expensive onsite, but I've seen projects build in shorter time than what normal devs expect - that way saving money for clients

question: could people confirm the ssl certificate chains being used by the server, and reported by the client?

Until Cisco (as well as Juniper/AltoPalo/FortiNet/CheckPoint/etc.) implements WG, IPsec will stay with us ;(

I can't deploy WG before that haven't happened... thus time to get WG into RFCs!!!
