@stux Try 8.8.8.8, if it fixes the problem at least you know its your local resolver, at that point you can try finding a non-google resolver, or switch back to your old resolver once it updates.

@stux Well they solved it by explicitly setting the DNS resolver to 8.8.8.8... you havent done this out of caution? What do you think that would break? I use 8.8.8.8 for all my servers, its the best dns resolver around IMO

@stux Does this help you: https://meta.discourse.org/t/emails-stop-sending-temporary-failure-in-name-resolution/201942

@stux ok so none of what i suggested would be relevant. MX records are for incomming only... Why is it trying to send an email to such a weird address on its own internal domain though.. that seems odd.

@stux Also be aware that changes to the DNS record can, in some cases, take up to 24 hours to propagate globally and cashed DNS servers around the world may have your old DNS information for a short period.

@eionmac The distro isnt pre-installed for you. If you want to run linux on it, even ubuntu, you still have to install it. They just provide an easy custom installer is all.

@stux I'd need to know a lot more about the problem to even begin to offer debugging advice let alone a solution. Just "its something to do with DNS" isnt much to go on.

I presume you are aware of MX records and how they can dictate mail routing regardless of the A/CNAME record and all the hbroad strokes.

@eionmac You are correct that Ubuntu is the only distro currently officially supported. That said, should be trivial to install any distro you want at this point. If ubuntu runs it wouldnt be very hard to run other distros.

@stux I dont know what your problem is or what your trying to do/solve.

I use a paid gmail for custom domains. I think the cost is 5$ a month. What do you mean by root domain? I use qoto.org for my gmail.

@stux I do not wish running your own mail server on my worst enemy... spam management is very hard to do well.

I use gmail strictly because they are so good at keeping spam out and it is next to impossible to get as good a result on a personal server.

@Zest

I disagree on that point. extreme left and right (which is most of the left and right) tend to view anything that isnt in line with their views as the extreme on the other side. Most extreme left and extreme right dont even think moderate views exist.

@kino

@1iceloops123 mining bitcoin on anything other than an ASIC isnt really feasable.

@Pat In fact I just checked, and the data would suggest that mask wearing had virtually no impact on the frequency of new cases.

One would expect, that if enforced mask policies reduced new infections, then 2 days after the mask policy was relaxed the number of cases (which were decreasing) would reduce decreasing, and potentially being to increase, which would worsen up to the 14 day mark at which point we would see a new upward trend, or at least, a change in the trend occuring inside that period.

Yet what we see is the number of cases continued to decrease with absolutely no change in the downward trend for at least 30 days, well beyond the incubation period for the virus.

Therefore, satisfying granger causality, it would seem to be strongly suggestive that masks are not effective at preventing new COVID cases.

@Pat No saying 100% of those cases were preventable is a lie. Wearing a mask doesnt make you immune. Even if all those people wore masks some portion, likely a large portion, would have still been infected.

At best you can claim it **might** have reduced the number. Even that is debatable, but at least reasonable.

@twotwenty the keyboard is a big part of why i got this one. I am told it is very tactile

@rlamacraft What does it have to do with trademarks? apple owns the TLD, not because they own the trademark "apple" but because they applied for it witht he ICANN. If you have issue with the handling of TLDs in general the issue is more with ICANN than apple or trademarks.

@eludom radical I know...

@Pat yes it should. If it isnt then evolution cant happen.

@Zest

What you just described is also horseshoe theory, the idea that extreme left and right are more similar to eachother than they are to moderate left and right as well.

@kino

@kino While I would agree that the extremes of the spectrum (basically anyone in the USA who considers themselves repulican or democrat) are more similar than those in the middle (this is called horseshoe theory), that isnt the same as saying they cant be distinguished.

Their policies are very much distinguishable even if both are oppressive.

One obvious examples is guns, you can distinguish between the groups with pretty good accuracy just by asking their stance on guns.
