I used to host my shit myself.
Why? Because it’s funny. At least, for me. Also I like the original spirit of the internet.
Most people rent their digital lives from the cloud. I don’t.
There is a list of services I host for myself and my family needs.
I use Knot authoritative DNS server to serve my zones.
dig NS +short svyrydiuk.eu shows you
srv1.svyrydiuk.eu.
prager.svyrydiuk.eu.
ns-global.kjsl.com.
Two of them are self-hosted and the third one is free secondary DNS service NS-Global.
I have DNSSEC enabled. See dnsviz report.
I started to self-host my mail back in 2005. All shit run on my desktop PC powered by Gentoo Linux. I used Postfix as SMTP and pop3d as POP3 server. Did not know about IMAP in 2005.
Currently I use OpenSMTPd + Dovecot.
