       | How do you handle on-call / customer support, particularly around
       | vacations?
       | 
       | (In other words, if you want to go away for awhile, how do you
       | make sure any outages get resolved?)

       | actually be successful at it. Really cool.

       | The linked email story was also interesting:

       | https://blog.healthchecks.io/2023/08/notes-on-self-hosted-tr...
       | 
       | The author's end solution goes against all other common HN wisdom
       | (!)
       | 
       | This is the way things should work. There should be millions of
       | email senders and receivers, not just 32 mafiosas (Gmail,
       | Hotmail, Yahoo, MailChimp, etc).
       | 
       | There are endless counter-examples on HN advocating against
       | hosting something as simple as email yourself, see:

       | Wow, this reads almost as my story. Similar goals, similar time
       | frames, even the hosting provider and the payment processor we
       | use is the same. I have to contact my new-found twin!

       | Absolutely living the dream! Being a sustainable one man SaaS is
       | what I'd ultimately love to be, but not only do I have no ideas
       | about what to SaaS, I highly doubt I'd have the drive to follow
       | through if I did.
       | 
       | Kudos to you, and to another 9 years!
       | 
       | Also I'm stealing the term Hobbit software, talk about comfy.
