If you are trying to #degoogle your life, be aware that one of the unpleasant side effects is that a shit ton of people will not be able to receive #email from you. I've been on an email address handled by my shared server provider for like 15 years now, and I can attest that #google and #yahoo are both pretty bad for blocking anything from a #domain outside the big providers.

@gerrymcgovern I deleted 79,125 'promotional' emails from my Gmail account yesterday.
Didn't think I really needed them.
Didn't think they were useful.

A financial planner I haven’t talked to in 20 years emailed to thank me for something I’d written on my blog which was super nice but they opened their email with “I just read your substack and it was wonderful” and now I’m a little mad to hear the nazi-loving email service is a generic phrase synonymous with “personal essays” in business people’s minds already.
Recommendations for good (and preferably cheapish) own-domain #email providers, anyone? As far as I know the consensus is still that running your own is prohibitively difficult for reputation reasons, but do correct me if I'm wrong.
I see some people are really disappointed about Debian packaging a stripped-down version of KeePassXC. But hey, I actually wish there was also a minimal @thunderbird package without integrations of IRC or Matrix etc, just with core email functionality.
Many Regards to Community Guidelines Abuse
