I think that's pretty standard for everybody who runs its own mail server (like "shared webhosting"-running even). Owning your mail should also be standard for everybody in tech, you don't want to rely on Google for something that important.
- muppetman 3y agoExactly. I rely on Google for a number of things, the primary thing being photos. But I've read too many horror stories (on here) of people losing their Google account and thus their life. So all my photos are also backed up locally and then into a BackBlaze bucket. Using Postfix+Rspamd gave me good insight into SPF, DKIM and DMARC and how to use them effectively.
- PeterisP 3y agoI mean, electricity is also very important, but that doesn't imply that everybody in tech should be configuring their own wiring. It's fine to do that if you want to, but it is completely reasonable to expect that most people should be able to rely on someone else to do the work of ensuring that the key infrastructure runs well, and not think about it so that they can focus on the specialization they want to handle.
- martin_a 3y agoWe're not talking about running bare metal in your garage but paying Hetzner or alike 2,50 Euro/month so you're independent from the shenanigans of the automated, AI-"improved" systems of Google. That's a fair price to pay if you value your electronic communication abilites.
