Been self-hosting my own mail since '99. Delivery isn't the problem, just people don't use mail as much as they used to. Most people reach for signal or whatsapp to communicate. Mo…

Yep for the web they worked better. I don't remember midi files getting as close to popular music as mods did. Then mp3 happened and you could download an MP3 in about quarter of a…
