I deployed it for my last employer on our linux environment. My buddies who still work there said Linux was fine while they had to help the windows Admins fix their hosts.

So really, I just need to host my own instance to see votes. Nice.

It just never ends. I'm so happy I've moved to Debian.

People still on reddit.

What flavour?

The real LPT is in the comments.

I assume lemmy doesn't clean up images after X days/years? it would be pointless if it does... I'm a datahoarder but paying storage costs to host this stuff doesn't fit in the budget. I guess I have a lot of things to consider. Thanks!

Yeah, Thank you for this.

It sounds like I'll also have to store any images my users upload. I'm all for free speech and being anonymous online so I'll avoid logs and the like but I guess I'll have to read Canadian law to see if I want to risk running an instance or not. I cant afford a lawyer, nor do I want to deal with anything that goes along with that.

Would that allow someone to still post/upload on other communities? Honestly haven't looked into this at all. Was going to in a couple weeks when I have time to actually sit down and test

For what purpose? Why not a free one? I mean, if the price is right I'll host you one.

I've been considering hosting one myself, this would give me a push in that direction.

I'm not sure if mailbox encrypts their calendar and contacts. I know tuta and Proton do but I self host that stuff anyway so I don't care.

I use to selfhost everything, including email. However, emailing anyone from my domain I was 99% of the time in the spam list if it went though at all. I got fed up and paid someone to do it for me.

I use to use tuta as my provider but the lack of IMAP support I moved to mailbox.org basically the same thing if you give them your public GPG key for them to encrypt your inbound emails.
