    If you don’t know what you’re doing, hosting an email server will not be a good time. It’s very easy to produce an environment that is easily exploited.

    A somewhat inexpensive shared hosting plan allows you to host your own email though. I get it done for <$100/yr. and have little to no limitation over self-hosting.

    Redundant, privacy compliant storage is expensive. And then you have to deal with customer people that can’t figure things out, and then there’s the barrage of bots trying to break in. Optical media is dirt cheap and most people know what to do with it.




  • Perhaps it’s something that I’m missing. What do you mean when you say their email is confirmed?

    Usually when this happens, it’s a result of someone taking advantage of an application vulnerability, e.g. sql injection. Sometimes it’s more serious, like a script uploaded and a privilege escalation to execute it. The email value written to your database could be anything.

    Not to condescend, but this is a good learning experience. If they were able to write to your db, they could likely also read from it, dump the whole thing and harvest the data.






  • 48g of carbs per 100g is not low carb. It’s about the same as any other cake.

    Also, whatever they’re considering a ‘portion’ is not what people eat. It works out to about an ounce.

    FWIW I’d need 5-10u of insulin to cover a normal size portion. There’s probably enough fat in it to trick a glucose meter at the two hour mark, which is really faulty data for a type 2.

    Edit- strike that last part, probably not enough fat or fiber to trick a meter.
