Security is a rabbit hole.

You’re going to end up wasting a lot of time and effort on learning about something that in the end will not have a substantial impact on your computing experience.

It will make you look good in front of losers on the internet you’ll never meet, though.

Try searching for dell optiplexes on ebay and see if any of them suit your needs for a better price.

If you don’t need something with a small form, then don’t get it. You end up paying more for less.

Oh god, don’t waste your money on a mini PC unless you specifically have a reason to get something small.

You’re literally paying more for worse hardware because of the form factor.

Instead, try getting a used Dell Optiplex. You can buy them at walmart for under $100.

Also, don’t kid yourself into thinking your server is going to be more popular than it is. If it’s just for you, then there’s no way you’re going to exhaust its resources unless you’re specifically trying to.

great value

So help me god if you recommended a paid email service as a replacement for a free one…

What should we be using instead?

Classic damage control.

Our team has reviewed these cases individually to determine if any can be restored.

Would they have done this if there wasn’t a public backlash? I would bet money the answer is no.

We have now reinstated 2 accounts, but there are other accounts we cannot reinstate due to clear ToS violations.

What were the TOS violations?

Selfhosting is really becoming the only option.
