One of the many benefits of owning my own email server: - I have a catch all setup to forward all emails to specific user on mail server - able to setup adhoc email addresses for each online service (ie, iarch@example.com) - able to claim example.com in haveibeenpwned Now I get breach emails from hibp for the whole domain. Unfortunately, I was exposed in this IA breach

The only drawback being that all of your outgoing email is sent directly to the receiver’s spam folder..?

Use a commercial service then, they're cheap and provide every benefit mentioned by GP. The thing that you really need is not your own server, but your own domain.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Backblaze keeps good stats. https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/resources/hard-drive... 1.71% a year failure rate if you care for the hardware as much as they do.

But that number would increase year on year, a 10 year old drive is far more likely to fail than a 1 year old drive

Internet archive is going for long enough that I'd expect it to stabilise by now. If you replace enough of the drivers, you get a good mix.

You don't need to deal with the hassle of your own email server for this. Just buy a domain and use Fastmail, Protonmail, or any other service you trust.

Great until you need to give someone an email address in real life and awkwardness ensues.

  Cashier: "What's your email?"
  Me:      "walmart@somedomain.com"
  Cashier: "No I meant YOUR email address."
  Me:      "Yeah walmart@somedomain.com"
  Cashier: "Oh do you work for Walmart???"
  Me:      "No see I set up my email so... oh nevermind, 420BLAZEIT@GMAIL.COM"
