Not sure if I did this right

Is there a cat? -> yes! -> you did it right! ☺️

I have run my own email server, and have worked in the commercial web hosting sector.

Honestly, I wouldn't run your own email except as a side project.

It's certainly possible and all the tools are available and easy enough to use, but email in general is a rough combo of super old, and a "big target".

The super old part means that a lot of things that we might consider standard for a modern federated system just aren't there for email. Security is profoundly lacking, and if something gets dropped because of an update, or your computer crashed, there's no guarantee that the system will find a way to get it to you, and the sender might not even know it didn't get to you.

Security wise, you basically have to set everything up correctly all at once, or some system somewhere between you and the recipient will just throw the messages away, and they may or may not tell you.
They do this because all the tools are old, crufty and there's a lot of good exploits that misconfiguration leaves open that automated tools can use to send spam.

Be sure to keep your computer fully patched, and install a malware scanner, even on Linux.

Ultimately, I wouldn't bother running one because the ratio of reward to work is just off for me. I would recommend setting something up for an afternoon though, just so you can see how the pieces work, and get to send yourself an email and know what steps it took.

I've tried, but getting it to work is another matter. I either get something that is just a qr code and none of my image, or something that doesn't work.

My running joke is that ASCII is actually his nickname, and his full name is ISO-8859-1. :)

It's great, because I get to use it at least once per group of tech people I deal with.

It's not a site, but automatic1111 has a webui you can run on your computer that works pretty well.

I love when cats do that twisted sideways pose. It looks so uncomfortable, but they're just chilling. :)

I played at launch and had a fine time, so if they've made things better, it seems like doing a full replay when the dlc comes out would be a great idea.
