That’s racist!

Love it. Heard about it from HN some years ago and been using it since. The guy who runs it is super friendly and aswers mails quickly too. And yes, it’s super cheap, I’m using the “usage based” pricing or whatever it’s called.

Firefox on android and desktop. Never had any reason to use anything else.

Same! Although my opnsense is virtualized.

msmtp, I’m using purelymail for all my emails.

Backup everything locally in proxmox on separate storage, another copy to a local nas and a third one to backblazes cloud storage.

No mention of alternatives in the article :(

I’m already spending way too much time here :D I just hope that the news communities (world news on lemmy.world for example) would become even more active.

I think it depends heavily on how much storage you’re allocating, if you allow uploading media that is. From what I’ve understood most of the bottlenecks are in DB operations so CPU and memory definately play a role.
