• Ask HN: Do you run your own DNS servers?

  Mail-In-a-Box (MIAB)[1] comes with a built in nameserver. I think you may use it as a standalone DNS even for the domain names whose email is not managed by MIAB. Not sure about any benefit of doing it this way though. [1] https://mailinabox.email. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: Self Hosting an Email Server?

  I've been using https://mailinabox.email on a small VPS where I host a few other websites and projects. I'd recommend it for the management aspect: It has backup scripts and a UI for let's encrypt and dns entries. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Sandstorm, Tempest, and the Future

  I don't see why we are a long way away. At the sandstorm end, we need to get to the point, where all updates (of both sandstorm and the apps) on the user machine are automatic.

• Show HN: Franz – A desktop client for Apache Kafka

  I thought this was https://meetfranz.com/ until the word “Apache Kafka” and was puzzled. Naming things and name collisions…. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Is there an app that can combine Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram DMs, and SMS into one unified inbox?

  But for Windows or Linux PC, I'd use this one Franz to view multiple chat apps. Source: about 1 year ago

• Texts.com invite

  Thats insane! I thought it was a free thing that just required an invite to access. Jeez! I have seen an alternative called Franz, not tried it yet though. By the looks of it does have a free alternative aswell as paid version. Source: about 1 year ago

• Message Integration app

  There is also https://meetfranz.com/. But its neither selfhosted nor free. (well unless you only need 3 different services). Source: about 1 year ago

• I Created Custom Artwork for Franz App

  For anyone who doesn't know what Franz is, you can check out the link below. It is essentially an application that allows you to access (most of) your online messaging apps in the same place. Which is convenient when you want to, for example, check your facebook, discord and IG messages at the same time. Https://meetfranz.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
