    Is the prevailing advice still not to bother with self-hosting email?

    From someone who never stopped: YES.

    99.95% spam, and no amount of filters and training can do as good a job as Gmail (as much as I hate and would like to get away from Gmail)

    I want to turn it off so bad, but fomo, that one email from that one person I knew 25 years ago who only has that email address … fml.


  • Yes, yes, yes, yes. For the tiny amount of overhead, even the remote console is worth it. Especially when you get into crazy “omg I have so much hardware” homelab territory and have stuff strewn over half your home. Being able to rely on Proxmox being pretty rock solid (if you’re careful and smart about your upgrades and not constantly insisting on running bleeding edge), and being able to access the consoles and ‘reset buttons’ of all your VMs from a single computer is AMAZING.
