Apparently, some people on Hacker News sincerely believe Google's trying to protect people from scams by hiding the URL in the latest Chrome.

@alcinnz I did the pretty much the same thing recently. While I had been using ProtonMail for some time, I didn't want to have to pay to use my own domain. I followed Drew's recommendation and couldn't be happier. There is something so cool about having your own email domain!

@rw the keycaps are almost certainly ducky, not sure about the Keyboard. r/MechanicalKeyboards has turned me into a monster...
@WhoNeedszZz @x is there a good post explaining this anywhere?
I've set up a BearBlog page. They allow the use of custom domains for free, so hopefully this will soon be freddym.xyz
Not sure how to set up CNAME records with Njalla though...
This is a great post that I only just discovered...
