My Office 365 subscription is up for renewal so it’s time to decide if I want to keep doing this (ehhhhh) or go back to hosting my own mail (ehhh) or look at another provider (ehhhhh)

@fincham @Firesphere when I can find time, I'm moving back to self-hosted, from Namecheap forwarding and ProtonMail. Kinda tired of them almost working.

@car @fincham @Firesphere Been doing it for a few years. Working great. Gag at the thought of letting MSFT anywhere near my data.

@lightweight @car @Firesphere you may be aware I ran my own mail (and for others) for nearly 20 years 😂

@fincham @car @Firesphere yes. All the more reason that I'm flabbergasted you'd let MSFT anywhere near it.

@fincham @car @Firesphere and yes, as you might recall, I'm reasonably well aware of your sysadminning history, having been fairly well adjacent to it. ;)

@lightweight I run most of my stuff, yeah, but despite not minding it, it's not a simple task to maintain :/

@Firesphere I suppose it's not simple, but it's not rocket science either. Been running my own services for a bit more than 20 years. (I used Google for a few years before it became apparent that 'do no evil' was a farce, and still have a Google Apps domain, but it's mostly gathering dust these days).

@lightweight @Firesphere The biggest mistake I made was going "Oh, I probably won't ever have to touch this once it's up and running!"What in my history with computers made me think that would be true?!

@sj_zero @Firesphere Heh - yes, the programmer's/sysadmin's crone: "I did it, not because it was easy, but because I thought it would be easy". That said I don't spend much time on my email stack - I've been helluva impressed with Mailcow (I run it dockerised) - I run several instances (and a half a dozen NextClouds with OnlyOffice, for various folks)...
