I got tired of all the problems with providers and learned how to run my own mail server twenty years ago. Certainly not an option for most people but I would never go back to relying on someone else for something I can do at home.

    I used to do that too around back in 2005-2006. Then my ISP started blocking important ports and stuck us all on DHCP. For me, that's when the internet started to suck. It's just gotten worse and worse.

    I'd rather rely on someone else, I think it's unlikely that Gmail, outlook, protonmail, etc would go down without me hearing about it. I can't afford to have my emails bounce for days until I both realise its happening and have the time to figure out the problem and fix it.
