Futo (Louis Rossman) at it again with great content, this time a Guide to Self Managed life. This 14hrs long guide comes in two video parts, aswell as a written guide for those who prefer. Both video and written quide comes with complete chapters and timestamps. This should be a great starting point for those who have the time and want to start learning from the very beginning.

I get how momentum keeps you on a path, and he admits that heâd rather use OPNsense in the wiki, but dammit, now heâs got a bunch of other people going down the same pfSense road to the rugpull.

Rule one of self hosting. Do not self host your own email. Only pain will you find.
You of course can, but there are so many additional hoops you have to jump through. I use my main domain for my email, but proton is one of the few subscriptions I happily pay for

I selfhost my own mail server (my primary mail in fact).
My LE certs expired on Christmas eve, when I was also getting sick. I didnât realize my mail server was down for a week until about NYE. Luckily Postfix queued all my emails and there was nothing important lost, but I am reevaluating self hosting my mail server. That being said, this was also the worst issue Iâve faced in over a year of self hosting mail. And it only arose because my dumbass still hasnât automated my certificate rotation.

Same principle as, âA lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client?â

Iâve been self-hosting email for so long, Iâm pretty sure my original domain (25 years) lends itâs respectability to new domains I host at the same address. The hell of it is I host on a resi IP address and have never had a single blacklist event. I donât even know how thatâs possible other than the fact that Iâve done it for so long with no incidents that I think Iâm on a whitelist or something.

This mentality is backwards. Hosting email has pitfalls yes but in a world where more people do it the less deep those pitfalls will become.
If you are curious and want to host email go for it!
