Between this, Proton and Firefox's change of terms, most of the advice I've seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it's going the way of the dino.
Self hosting is increasingly the path forward for the privacy concious.
You're right and it's so fucking annoying. I really want someone to jump into the niche and provide support for those of us who get to remember how to sysadmin again.
I don't want/need "plug and play" but I also don't really have time to relearn everything I knew "in a prior life."
Suggestions? At this point I'd love to have a backend for my email that isn't Microsoft.
I run a small thinclient (HP Mini G400, but those small Lenovos thinkcentres and others also work) in my home. Cost me ~100€ plus a few Euro for a RAM update and a bigger hard drive and now I'm running Proxmox with the help of the Community Scripts:

It's quite awesome, to be honest.
I just did a similar setup with a custom built NUC and I even got PCI Passthrough working. I want to get as many years out of this as possible. Proxmox is great.
