So what do we do? What does Stallman do? Do I run my own postfix box in my closet? I'm suppose I'm technically literate enough to pull it off, but what about friends and family?
- eksith 13y agoSpeaking of friends and family... Once upon a time a friend of mine did this for me on his FreeBSD box. My username at his domain.com worked pretty well, but I couldn't send big attachments (this was on his dinky little 400Mhz box with a massive 40Gb WD drive). It's terribly inconvenient, but if plenty of other people begin to do that already, I'm sure some nifty startup will create tools to automate the tedious bits. Add a site too, and you have something a bit like a "presence-in-a-box" package, if you will, that you can run over your home cable/DSL/FiOS connection.
