Skirting the edge of self hosting, I was faced with this question last month. I ended up with a Ubiquity UCG Ultra. It has all the network management tools on-board and for the first time in a long time I can manage my network from anywhere on the planet.

Access can be via a web UI, or an app.

The boundary of where to host what, is not fixed. You cannot host the internet at home. Where people sit on the spectrum varies depending on skill, resources and need.

I highlighted several options that provide a solution for someone with limited skills and resources.

You could host a CALDAV server or a next cloud at home and use the suggestions I provided, or you could use those hosted by someone else.

My answer was to provide ideas, not a how-to guide, answering, in my opinion, exactly what OP was looking for.

That it doesn’t match your idea about solving the problem tells you that there are many ways to solve software problems. My suggestions had a low barrier to entry.

What’s your recommendation for OP?

Google Sheets will be a simple solution you can do for free.

The app “Track & Graph” is another.

I have been logging all my medical events using Tasker and a Google Calendar. Analysis is manual using graphviz.

I rarely use a docker container in production that I didn’t write the Dockerfile for. Once you understand how it works, you can write your own and install exactly what you want in the way you want it.

Interesting, when you read that article, it says that Meta will appeal, searching for the GDPR fine and the appeal, all I found was more fines, but no records of the results of any appeals.

Also, it was €1.2 Billion, not $1.2 Billion.

Again, you vastly underestimate the size of Meta.

In the last quarter of 2024 it shows a net income of $20,838 million. A $20 million fine would change that 3 into a 1 and again, that’s net income for just for three months.

What are the legal implications of hosting this information in a different jurisdiction and are there places where this data would be legally protected?

Think about it in terms of risk / reward or if you like, shareholder value.

If the value of the data exceeds the fine combined with the risk of it being discovered, the data will continue to exist.

Factor in the cost of actually guaranteeing that deleting something across all online, nearline, offline and archived data stores and the chances of anything being purposely deleted are not high.

Accidental data loss, sure, purposeful data loss, I can’t see it happening.

And?

I’m going with … never.

If you run out of Tuna, you can use Salmon.

Perhaps you should ask the moderator of the community from where that post was removed.

PS. The steps are:

1. Buy domain
2. Buy email
3. Configure email provider to accept messages from your domain
4. Configure domain DNS to send email to provider

This is a big question and this is just a short reply.

Buying a domain allows you to move email provider without needing to change the address.

Start with the 5GB plan with the domain you bought.

DO NOT BUY the domain from the email provider. Make the two completely separate. Otherwise you might lose control of your own domain.

Don’t worry about migrating historical email until you’re happy with whatever you set-up.

Once it’s all running, you can then go about setting up self hosting, but I’d think twice before self-hosting email. There’s a lot of scope for your email being blocked by recipients.

Another way to go is use Gmail and redirect email from your domain to Gmail (or any other provider).

I was only told this recently after using a microwave oven for many years. Works as advertised.

I’ve been using Adguard public DNS for over a year across my LAN and it works great, with much less hassle than a pihole, which I previously used for years.

I miss the ability to add random hosts to either black or white lists, but in reality only used it sporadically.

All google advertising does that. It’s blocked in my network too.

Pretty much … source, I live here. The mosquitoes near the airport require landing clearance.

There is no mention of e-ink, OP has an Android device, I have an Android device, I read eBooks on it daily, I use FBReader. I’m not sure what all the kerfuffle is about.

On Android I use FBReader. I paid for the Premium version.
