I am in the process of slowly buying up the hardware and learning the needed information to self host, I degoogled my life which was a hard thing and Proton was the easier place to go and it was intended to be a place holder till I feel confident enough to switch everything over to a self hosted setup. Using Proton’s VPN is more a frugal choice.
I’ve setup my first Pi Nas (raspberry 5 pi nas) and that was my first step in my self hosting journey, I do own my domains for my emails so step 2 is to get another raspberry 5 and setup my own self hosted website server and email.
I’ve always been a tech savvy guy but my field is manufacturing, I’m not a software or web developer like a lot of the people on here so it’s a bit of a slower pace and learning curve for me but I’m working on it. Also it doesn’t help that it’s getting more and more expensive to self host by the day.
I do value the input and information I learn on here and appreciate the explanation.


Who the fuck cares or takes the time to bully someone about using emojis? If you want to use emojis do it, individuality and self expression are things I personally love seeing. Say meow, use an emoji (🧙♂️ is my personal favorite), purposefully speill thangz wrongggg, say yee haw and curse a bunch or don’t. The people who take the time to make bullshit comments like these are lame.
Don’t let the haters overshadow the awesome work that has been done on this project. 💯✅️
Thank you 🙌
