   looking forward to @mwl's book "Run Your Own Mail Server" coming out https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/run-your-own-mail-server

   I'm much too afraid to run my own mail server but I've always enjoyed his writing about networking (his “networking for system administrators” helped me a ton when I read it) and I think it's going to be a nice way for me to learn more about how email works

     in general my approach to things like webservers and email is

     a) own my domain names
     b) pick companies to run my email/website/mastodon/etc
     c) switch whenever I want

     I really appreciate the convenience of using services like fastmail/gmail/fly/netlify/github/nearlyfreespeech/etc, and I know that if things go downhill I can always switch

     just backed @mwl's “Run Your Own Mail Server" kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/run-your-own-mail-server

     I'm way too lazy to run my own email infrastructure (I don't even run my own webservers!) but I'm looking forward to learning about what's involved in running an email server anyway
