  • I have selfhosted my mail on my own domain, on a server in my closet, for about 4 years. In that time I never switched over realy important things, like government etc, out of fear of missing an email and not knowing. That was the only reason not to switch for me. I’ve had to move a few times in a short peroid and my career started taking more of my time, so I have less time to manage the server, thus I started looking around. Now I settled on proton, I don’t use any of their domains, only my own, and I’ve switched literally everything over, except for the recovery mail for my domain registrar login. Since proton hosts professionally, I trust them not to drop mails without telling me, and I don’t realy see a reason not to switch over. If I ever want to move provider, or start selfhosting again, I’ll setup the new provider, update the dns for my domain and done.

    If you have some specific questions about my setup or choices, let me know, although I’m probably not able to reply in the next 12ish hours.




  • I’m learning for my bike exam as well. Looking where you want to end up, really helped me with both the U-turn and the figure 8. And that is not looking at the pavement where I want to go, it’s looking at something above the horizon.

    Nother thing I noticed is that you have much more controll when you squeeze the tank between your legs. It makes your hip movements much more effective in balancing the bike.

    Those combined made it ‘click’ for me.



  • Keep in mind that in some tld’s (like .nl) the whois data actually dictates who is the legal owner of the domain. If you get into an argument with your registrar, and the whois data shows their name, you can’t take action to move it or reclaim it without their approval.

    Also if you let it expire, for the cool off period, only the original owner can reactivate it, that means you can’t reactivate it through another registrar. Maybe your current registrar allows it, bit that’s a maybe.


  • I’m going to assume you’re in a country where they have the self checkout things which have a ‘bagging area’ of some sort wit a scale under it?

    In the Netherlands we have selfcheckout without this weighing. You walk into the store, grab a handscanner, and as you walk through the store you can pick something up, scan it, put it in your own bag and continue. When you get yo the register, you scan some barcode on the screen of the register woth your scanner, touch your nfc bank card to the terminal, and walk out. No need to take anything out of your bag.

    Sometimes they do random checks, then some employee comes over and scans a few items from your bag. But you can just let it be their problem. They’ll usually put the stuff they’ve taken out back in again aswell.




  • Nice, great step! Just in case: did you check if you have any forgotten “log in with facebook” linked applications? You might want to check them to see if you have configured an alternative login. If you’re not sure, I very strongly advise you to undo the delete while it is still possible, and go into settings to check for this. When you’re sure you’re all good, you can just delete the account again.


  • Thank you, that’s actually the most clear answer i’ve come across. This gives me a follow up question, just to check if I understand correctly. Never trust the client asside, if an url blocked by canMatch, itwill not actually call the server then, right? Let’s say I have a page /count, which if requested runs some code on the server that increments a counter. If /count is blocked by canMatch, it wont request the page, so the counter is not updated? While canActivate would actully request the page and update the counter. Is this right?
