>From my pov self-hosting is hard without network-administrator background. I did a CCNA ages ago but the knowledge is already rusted. So even basic network setup for my home-lab is already a non-trivial job for me. Then while I can set up the services and jails on my NAS, I am unsure how to properly secure / firewall my system. It is a lot of reading, many iterations, and still I frequently close myself out of my system and at the end of the day maybe my firewall can be trivially bypassed. The steep learning curve is my main pain-point regarding self-hosting. Understandable I don't even think about hosting my own mail. --Z-- Polarian írta 2024. dec.. 3, K-n 21:37 órakor: > Hello, > > Although this is offtopic I will respond to it quickly. > > I wouldn't say protonmail is a good idea, in my opinion everything they > stand for is a lie.
