Whenever news breaks of bad decisions a popular product, there's a flurry of recommendations of various alternatives, and in that mix there's always folks extolling the virtues of hosting your own.
As a person who works on security for an open source project, my spicy take is this: unless you enjoy being your own sysadmin (some folks do!), any hosted solution from a vendor that is currently reputable and currently has acceptable terms is a better, safer option than self-hosting.
It's not as if #SelfHosting is without alternative and choosing a #FLOSS solution that multiple providers offer as #managed / #SaaS offering is my go-to recommendation espechally for SMEs and Users that can't afford personnel hours needed to properly #SelfHost!
Exactly!
Because whilst #OpenBSD is propably the safest Operating System that one can hook up to the Internet out-of-the-box, noone's gonna yeet all their #Linux boxes out and force themselves to migrate everything to it.
Just because I know people who earned their living doing #Mailservers on #OpenBSD doesn't mean it's something I'd recommend to anyone even if on paper that's the "most secure option"...
