That was my silly way of asking if you use Linux lol :)

Something like Mailcow or Mail-in-a-box probably make things much simpler, but I’m trying to set up a multipurpose Gentoo server without A: spinning up a dozen containers for email, or B: shelling out for a second VPS dedicated strictly for email.

I’m working with 2GB of RAM here. I’d rather keep the containerization to a minimum. I’d like to set up Gitea and deploy some customized software into containers, but I don’t want to containerize anything that ships with the distro if I can avoid it.

The main thing to keep in mind is that privacy isn’t a zero sum game and that we should have a threat model. We do know that Windows is closed source and might have backdoors plus all the data collection they do and so on. This is easy to fix by using Linux and mitigates huge risks, you know?

Libre hardware is actually available but I’m not sure chapos need to go that far. At least let’s all switch to Linux first. Mint is use friendly and so is Kubuntu (Ubuntu+KDE Plasma ) which I recommend because it’s very stable, noob friendly and comes with Plasma Desktop Environment which is very powerful and easy to customize while being resource efficient. Let me know if I didn’t express my point well

I was half joking. There’s been several proof of concepts attacks using certain hardware exploits in the architecture of Intel CPUs iirc, but those require physical access to your machine and if the FBI has that you’re probably already toast. Pirate is correct, security isn’t a yes or no, it’s a set of layers that you need to put together to protect yourself

A princess shouldn’t be using old software that isn’t supported :)
