Slavik z Madridu
I used to host my shit myself.
Why? Because 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
prager.svyrydiuk.eu.
srv1.svyrydiuk.eu.
ns-global.kjsl.com.
Three of them are self-hosted and the fourth 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. In those days, all shit ran on my desktop PC powered by Gentoo Linux 2004.3. I used Postfix as SMTP and pop3d as POP3 server.
Currently I use OpenSMTPd + Dovecot.
