  • Interest groups. Hobbies. Travel. Volunteers. Book clubs. That sort of thing. Cast your net wide enough and you are sure to get someone.

  • For many years, yes, but, to see that person reach out, apologize, amends and even support me in difficulty changed that perspective. Forgiveness played a major role in healing.

  • It took me 6 deploys to finally understand all the mechanisms. What I like about self-hosting and the open source mantra in general is that every failure is a lesson with field experience. So skills development and acquisition is fairly easy if you push for it and once you get it, its wash, rinse, repeat.

  • Self hosting is not always about hosting at home. A private VPS/VDS, co-located server that you own/lease and operate is essentially that. I take self hosting as not turning to big tech for the very same solutions I can spin up myself on a private server.

    That being said, self hosting also involves servers at home that run personal services.

    My line of work is mostly in business. Getting people to operate their businesses with open source tools on private servers, local, in the country and abroad, as they wish.

  • So there is a bit of work you need to do, but if you manage your server well, do DMARC, DKIM, SPF etc and then nip it in the bud when you get warnings, its very easy to manage. Its about responsibility. Bad actors exist, but careful operators prevail.

  • There are very easy steps you can take here. It seems complicated, but there are tools for this and with a VPS/VDS, you can be up and running in under an hour if you are technically inclined. Moving to my own email, is by far, one of the best things I have done in my life.

  • I just launched a business to help non technical people identify and selfhost their business tools. I faced such problems when I lived in a fascist country and now that I live in a fascist country again, I figured its a good way to go.

  • Lol. Yeah. Been through that. I find myself wanting to start new subs, then I am reminded of the horror show, and I move on.

  • Looks like you found a niche and are about to start a new sub.

  • I believe short term there is an increase, give that a lot of people are braving stuff they can't afford to fix. But it stabilizes and reduces in the long term cause as society becomes healthy, and with other health initiatives like healthy eating, exercise and preemptive healthcare, it normalizes with a general reduction in staff numbers.

  • An analytics tool?

  • What did you have for lunch?

  • Same here. Makes me consider just doing my own thing instead and rolling my own extra backup system. Something to consider.

    That aside, I'm surprised at how there is a VPS limitation at both Netcup and OVH. Netcup is selling ARM as the closest alternative. OVH is selling Canada as the closest option. I found it weird.
