BAZ.BAR
=======
My personal website and home network operate under the domain
baz.bar. I was looking for a shorter domain, happened upon this gem
one day, and snagged it up.
Website: My website (just a blog, for now) can be found at
https://baz.bar/. It's hosted at Netlify, because it looked fun to
play with. It was built with Hugo, a static site generator written
in Go, which also looked fun to play with.
Email: What's a good domain without email? I host my own with Postfix
and Dovecot, thanks to a great deal from RackNerd. You really can't
be $24 a year. You'd be amazed at how many people try to send mail
to
[email protected]. Maybe I should set up a mailbox for it. I guess this
didn't dawn on me before because I realize DNS has a right-to-left
hierarchy, and foo comes before bar, not after baz.
Kerberos: The hound of Hades used to guard my emails. He might still, I
can't remember. In any case, it was (is?) running on an Orange Pi that
runs FreeBSD.
De-Googlifying myself: With a collection of VMs and some old machines
running at home, I run my own email server along with Nextcloud,
Mastodon, Vaultwarden, and Keycloak instances. One day, I'll get
around to telling everyone to use my new email address, but until
then, I still get too much mail to my Gmail account. I also pay for
ProtonMail, because I think it's cool, but it's also just a tad bit
of a headache sometimes. Imagine that, security is hard.
