Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.

You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.

OP hates Linux

Sorry OP, people who like Linux tend to have the same values this platform advertises.

It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.

For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.

I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.

Another Pro tip:

If you really want to self host and have good internet speeds, then just use a dynamic dns service to point a domain at your home network :)

It’s free minus the power costs. Sure you won’t be able to guarantee availability but for most personal(and friends/family) use it’s more than good enough.

I say this because the reason a lot of people use VPS is because their ISP won’t give them a static IP. You don’t need a static IP.

I got rid of it 2 years ago for Apollo and tried it again briefly last month.

Somehow it got significantly worse, you can’t even choose how to sort your feed anymore.

Will that android technique work on IOS too?

Edit: nvm Apple blocks Firefox extensions, curse you Apple.
