Hi aurora,

Thanks for the email. Yes, the tracking links are really annoying, and I don't like them myself. But there are two reasons: first, it lets my mailing list provider check that I'm not sending spam. (If I send out an email to nearly 40,000 people and no-one clicks a link, that's a bad sign.) And second, it lets me remove people who aren't interested in the newsletter any more. If someone's not clicked a link in three months, I can remove them from the distribution list, which cuts down on unwanted email, helps my sender reputation, and saves me literally thousands of dollars as I have to pay per-subscriber. It turns out that for sending identical messages to nearly 40k+ people, there's no good alternative!

All the best,

-- Tom

"there's one chemical that, if ingested, can cause a person's estrogen level to increase dramatically" - "what is it?" - "it's called estrogen"

kinda curious if that estrogen containing aphrodisiac actually exists :D

@aurora estrogen isn't a chemical, it is a class of hormones. one example for an estrogen would be estradiol aka E2 aka the thing you take at a standard transfem HRT, which is a chemical itself

another pretty cool substance, among the selective estrogen receptor modulators, is raloxifene

it has the same effect as estradiol, except that it doesn't make you grow boobs! :D

so, while we are all on that topic

where do y'all host your instances?
my (private) server (not this one) is at hetzner rn, and for hopefully now obvious reasons i would not want to host an instance on there
homeserver would probably mostly work, but I'd have to route the traffic through somewhere, which seems like a hassle
so what options are there?

@aurora dyndns records for your home IP and port 80/443 forwarded from your router to the server the fedi instance runs on/server you have a reverse proxy running on

that's what i do for everything on my home network that's accessible from the internet and is how i would do it if i moved my gts instance to the homeserver

so, if I'm moving to germany soon™ -would it be possible to somehow have therapist appointments in germany/online with a german therapist while still being insured in austria and using my austrian insurance?

@aurora@toot.queer-lexikon.net do you want a therapist for therapy or for bureaucracy?
