All this new excitement with Lemmy and federation has got me thinking that maybe I should learn to run my own instance. What always comes up though is how email is the orginal federated technology....
It’s a great learning exercise but challenging to get right and ensure your deliverability and basically impossible from a residential-grade IP address (if you have a business class static IP at home you could pull it off).
I ran an email server for decades but gave in and pay to host my email now.
If google decides you’re a bad guy it’s such a pain to crawl back from that and I prefer my email to just work.
I’m multi-machine and play in my homelab stuff a lot, so I sit in mosh/tmux/vim all day long. This has been my usual experience for a long long time. My experimentation tends to be on the GUI side of things, trying out this “vs code” thing everyone is talking about…
but I’ll still never live without a GUI, browsing sucks so hard in a terminal now. It’s basically unworkable.
I am thinking about switching from Windows to Debian 12 Bookworm
I used Ubuntu in my college for some light programming and felt really happy about it....
My new giant printer! (lemmy.zip)
Just finished building this beast. It’s a ratrig Vcore 3.1 with a 500x500x500mm build volume and blazing speed.
[Question] Does anyone run their own email server?

Have you ever tried using the terminal exclusively for your day-to-day usage for any amount of time?
How was it? What programs did you use?...
