I use Helm for email. It’s a silent little server in my living room routed via Amazon (using a TLS cert that lives in my living room). I’d say about every three or four months it goes down for 5 minutes if I need to reboot my wifi router.
I use it for privacy (am a fan) but I feel pretty smug knowing I’m getting better reliability too. At least this month :)

- ttul 6y agoI remember seeing this when it first popped up on HN. Very cool. Home internet is pretty reliable these days and my sense is that it’s getting better, not worse, as people value their internet connectivity more. Is your data backed up anywhere in case your Helm box burns in a fire?
- mapgrep 6y agoHelm comes with free backup. Fully encrypted so only you can access. Still I’d love to turn it off. I have all my email on my laptop, which is itself backed up. I only keep some weeks worth on the Helm to let devices download.
