I loved this recent "Show HN", I found some gems for the reading list in 2026!

Books mentioned on Hacker News in 2025 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46345897

Yeah it's a lot more "just works" than Matrix, still some limitations but improving quickly.

It’s not just websites :-/

Things like Apple private relay (which way too many people seem to have it enabled) are tunnelled via Cloudflare, maybe using warp?

As much as I love the service and enjoy the transparency, I do wonder about the future of smaller operator services as the Internet continues it's descent into a giant mess :-)

Tried them with a domain that gets a bunch of spam, unfortunately their filtering is not as good as others like Fastmail it seems.

Love the keyboard shortcuts in the web interface, killer feature. Also the rules management and folder management is beyond what a lot of other similar providers offer.

If you plan on running your own inbound email, you would be better using something like smtp2go, dnsexit or others for your outbound.

Chatmail relays can be run by anyone, they are designed to be fairly minimal and lightweight, just running what is needed to support the "encrypted chat" part, not regular email.

Yeah it's disappointing after recently moving things over.

FWIW I find https://tldes.com pretty useful for keeping an eye on who is currently offering the best renewal for various TLDs I use.

Similar happened in Australia, collect the data to keep everyone safe, it's private, but next minute...

> The provider was GMX and it was their fault, not DeltaChat's.

Noting that the team have put together "Chatmail" a minimal email suite designed for speed, security and convenience.

Also helps with the whole "onboarding to chat" and multiple identities not linked to existing accounts.

https://delta.chat/en/chatmail

There are multiple public servers which may be an option, instead of using an existing email account at provider X.

The fediverse can be quite an echo chamber.

Restic user and also a long time user of Borgbase, their offering is pretty neat!

It would be great to be able to add some additional data beyond the listings to augment decisions.

For example passmark scores or power usage for an identified CPU.

I see there is very little standard format in the listings, so might need some logic to extract/guess at CPU versions etc.
