Will there be any issues with a .place domain for email? in c/[email protected]

If its a mission critical use, I would stick to a more common TLD (com, org, net, etc). Country TLDs should be okay too.

I'm actually pretty pleased so far. I had to contact support to sort out a payment problem but they were incredibly quick to help me out. I think the price performance is pretty decent, but my needs are very minimal. The web ui is really straightforward as well, really no complaints.

I'm currently switching all my computing/cloud stuff over to Canadian and/or EU providers. I'm going to move my domains to Easy DNS and try out a VPS from LunaNode.

Also worth noting that they themselves are an American company for anyone that is concerned about that.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an S3 provider? I'm looking at Hetzner and OVH.

Long time customer and super happy with Fastmail. Its a bit pricy but the service is great.

I did this and used PostmarketOS for about a month before reinstalling LineageOS. Biggest problem for me was the lack of Camera. If you have a second device running android or iOS then it is a fun idea, but not really practical as a main device.

This was such a big worry of mine, but I'm only down 12% average versus the summer and I live in Canada.

Current mainline device options (self.linuxphones)
 

I'm looking to start testing out and developing for mobile Linux and am curious what the current best options are for used devices that support it.

I have done a bit of digging and the most popular choice seems to be the Oneplus 6, but it looks like supply has somewhat dried up and prices are creeping up on the second hand market... not to mention that it is starting to get a bit old.

I noticed that msm8953 devices are starting to get mainline support so tried getting lk2nd running on my phone (Moto G7), but couldn't get it to boot.

Is the (mainline supporting) hardware landscape really this bleak?
