I’m sure it’ll be airgapped and completely separate from the rest of AWS.

That’s why you build it in Australia and only give Australian citizens with appropriate security clearances direct operational access.

Yep, no one claimed otherwise.

Yes, you create virtual nics tied to the physical one.

In larger networks VLANs let you do network segmentation across switches, which you can’t really do otherwise.

I wouldn’t bother at home.

Personally I’d probably go with MS hosted exchange or a Google business account. If you don’t trust those entities I’ve heard good things about ProtonMail - I imagine they have some kind of business solution.

IMHO, worthless though it is, I don’t get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG’s. They have lots of A and no RP. (They are Gs tho.)

Because in 1996 experience points, leveling up, character attributes, and magical loot were all closely associated with RPGs. Over the intervening roughly 30 years those mechanics have been adopted by games all over the spectrum. However the genre-name for Diablo-like games stuck due to convention.

Also Diablo being called an ARPG predates Dark Souls by 10 to 15 years.

Buy your own domain name and put it in front of someone else’s service. This is going to be a ton of work to do correctly and you’re unlikely to be able to host it out of your house.

Also, something you’re running off a Raspberry Pi in your house is not going to meet most definitions of ‘reliable’.

Many ISPs will also block inbound SMTP unless you have business account (and sometimes even then) because it’s a common malware/spam vector.

If you insist on going through with this the key thing is to make sure that you’re not an open relay.

100% agreed. It’s well worth outsourcing to someone else for $10/mo versus the amount of work it takes to do it well unless you’re a large business.

I’d make this argument for DNS too - a lot of work for how easy it is to pay someone else to handle it.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that section - definitely distasteful.

I played 5 when it came out and didn’t think much of it, though it was also controversial at the time. Having it set in Africa means lots of black people - which seems better than pretending Africa doesn’t exist?
