I am using proton essentials plan it gets you ten custom emails that you can use with three custom domains.
So I use one email for my game servers so those services use that then I have another general use email for sending info like recently added plex content or alerts from my server then a few mix and match for random stuff.
Not the cheapest but now I'm also using their calendar which is nice. I don't use any desktop clients though I prefer to keep as much stuff in the browser
I've had good luck getting refurb drives from serverpartdeals. I did get one or two wd red used from Amazon, one was fine and the other I had to return for a replacement
Haha the one I got was like 300 bucks off and when I plugged it in it had 0 hours on it so it was brand new. Been running fine for almost 3 years now. It cane with the warranty and free one year of their online service thing
Not sure what went wrong with next cloud but it might be worth figuring it out first. I do remember having to look through a few guides. I set up mariadb, redis, and collabora containers along with it for database performance and to be able to edit docs in the browser
The thing that shocked me is some kids have anxiety merely walking from class to class if they aren't with a friend then they need to be on their phones, sometimes even pretending to be messaging people or commenting because they feel judged by kids around them for not being popular enough or something
Very nice! My brother pulled something similar out of some old news van in a junkyard. He was there looking for taillights and came across it and pooped his pants
So you're a small talk person
