Aside

After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won. by

Many companies have been trying to disrupt email by making it proprietary. So far, they have failed. Email keeps being an open protocol. Hurray? No hurray. Email is not distributed anymore. You just cannot create another first-class node of this ne[...]
