I don’t run any containers.
I own my own data.
I back up my own computers.
My email is mine.
You don’t need to overcomplicate it, it’s not a competition, and you don’t have to do what everyone else does.
None. Why would you use a VPN ?
Begging the question.
Also, “Reverse proxy, VPN, Cloudfare bullshit” - you don’t need these things.
I enjoy having my own SMTP server that I control.
WD Reds in a RAIDZ2 pool on FreeBSD, serving Samba.
Go outside and do yardwork. Play with the dog. Read a book. Wait for the ISP to fix their shit.
Google the model number, buy stuff.
“is it recommended” implies that the wisdom of crowds (a) exists, b) applies, c) is correct.
What do YOU want to do? That’s all that matters.
I’ve run my own mail server for over 20 years. I enjoy it, and its nice having my mail sit in my basement.
If you did nothing, the waste heat would heat the basement, rise up into and through the floor, and heat your house anyway.
