self-hosting the traditional way, yes. i think some provider-tier people can exist, but mostly i think we need to re-imagine how the shit works instead of making tons of $corporate_product_but_self-hosted-type projects.

People here always say "just self-host your email." I did, but I wouldn't do that for the email I use for my bank account. What if I miss a payment and lose access to that email and thus the bank account too?

@a_cat These are the same people who enjoy when updating their Gentoo install breaks and they get to fix it

@a_cat Is disroot good? I was considering riseup, but disroot seems easier to get into.

@kaikatsu Naw. Gentoo users hate breakage. It's Arch users that deal with that.
Mail is IMO a difficult thing to self-host. There are setup helpers like Iredmail, but even there, if something breaks in an update, you're on your own and probably do not understand the system enough to fix it.
I was using my own domain with Fastmail, but when I couldn't pay, that went away. I'm now using a GMX account. (Yes, I'm a Gentoo user--and Ubuntu, Debian, Devuan, Fedora, OpenSuse also.)

@lnxw48a1 I use privateemail for my own domain which comes with Namecheap. I use cockli for identities I don't care too much about, and I'm trying to move from gmail for my banking/amazon/etc etc stuff.
-
@a_cat Geez, they offer nextcloud too? I'm getting in on this.

@lnxw48a1 @kaikatsu
i have some ideas for a secure email/p2p bridge. being email, it won't be the most easy thing to run, but doable. i think with email that's be most you can hope for.

@xj9 @a_cat @kaikatsu I miss when ISPs ran services people wanted.
