The biggest dickhead I know runs my server.
Could be worse, your servers could be ran by the same dipshit that runs mine! I swear nothing ever gets fixed on time!
I thought he ran my servers

Yes go self host email, I'll wait
Oh, I've done it.... Won't do it again, but I have done it.
Legitly the only way i would ever dare to even attempt self hosting email again is in 20 years when ai can do it entirely for me using the power of a single AA battery. No sane person self hosts email!
no, but many of us have done it in the past and I do have all the DNS stuff already setup -- It might work if I did it now, but spam is a ever growing mountain
I self host email. Actually, I run a publicly available email service from my office, so…
No sane person uses generative AI.
Email is pre-installed with YUNOhost (Debian-based server distro), in case anyone is interested. I have it installed on a cheap VPS and highly recommend it.
I have found if you choose providers that do things like run on 100% sustainable energy, you tend to find the places where leadership's morals overtake their pockets. There are a few mail providers like this.
