The scenario is you have domains with a registrar. Typical good practice is that the login to the registrar is an external email address. This way if any issues with the registar, you are not locked out.

If you do not have Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, any other 3P provider, how do you manage this scenario? The goal is to not have any 3P mail and be self-contained within your own domain and email management.

Edit This scenario is for a home user that has domains for various projects, purposes however currently uses a separate hotmail, gmail, etc for the login to the registrar.

Looking to minimize privacy concerns in every day life from tech use. I see videos online about users switching to dumb phones and eliminating iOS/Android, using NAS for their on-premise storage or USB drives, using Linux vs Windows/Apple, and essentially reducing the dependency and exposure to 3P companies.

Was curious what others are doing if embarking on this route? My goal for asking is to establish a good baseline for making any changes whether retro tech that is still functional, single use devices, etc.

It has been quite a year. Wishing you all a wonderful 2024 and the possibilities.

Edit Saw another HNE thread. Disregard this one.

There are many stories on HN where a founder of a startup found a niche problem, created code/website, and provided a service for customers. I applaud those that can get up and running as a solo or dual founder and build a successful home/internet based business. Your stories are inspirational and make me wish I took up software engineering when I was younger.

For those of us that are not programmers, coders, engineers (all three the same?), what resources are available to us to ramp up a website with backend programming to service a niche need?

I bought a domain called "Beautiful Street" and looking for some ideas on what I could do it with it. This is my first venture in wanting to create a blog.

Based on the name, what content would be appropriate whether directly related to "Beautiful Street(s)" or using it as a metaphor?

Thank you in advance. Long time reader of HN and always appreciate the advice from this community given to others.

I went out and bought these two domains.

IsDue.by -and- AreDue.by

I need some ideas on what to do. I know I can do a word play on them for a bill reminder service such as:

a. MyBills.AreDue.by

b. Rent.IsDue.by

...and so on. I'm just looking to capitilize on taking advantage of these domains and subdomain additions, similar to Del.icio.us and others like it. I'd be interested in working with other designers/programmers to make things happen.

Any suggestions/ideas/comments would be appreciated. Thanks, HN.
