cos<p>Turning off a memory today; we shut down the server a few hours ago as part of saying farewell to the Tau Ceti co-operative, which provided affordable web-hosting and email to hundreds of punters for twenty-something years. We hosted various famous and not-so-famous sites through those years, and moved our server through various Melbourne data centres - sometimes at almost no notice! I made some fabulous friends through helping out, but I can’t deny my shoulders feel a little lighter now that it’s over. </p><p>My lessons from this experience are these:</p><p>- there’ll be no shortage of people with opinions about what you should do, but look for the ones who’ll pitch in to help<br>- it’s ok for responsibilities to shift over time - indeed, it’s better if they do<br>- you don’t have to serve everyone - sometimes it’s far more helpful to help people move on if they’ve outgrown your co-op’s mission</p><p><a href="https://robsnarski.bandcamp.com/track/turning-off-a-memory-merle-haggard" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">robsnarski.bandcamp.com/track/</span><span class="invisible">turning-off-a-memory-merle-haggard</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CoOperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoOperatives</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hosting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>community</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/memories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memories</span></a></p>

Sirana<p>Tl;dr: What do you use for e-mails? Do you use free mail providers, paid providers with a company specific thing behind the @ or have you registered an own domain and use this? Do you have multiple accounts to keep personal stuff, random "sign up here!" things and important adulthood stuff?</p><p>If you got an own domain, what kind of name did you come up with (no need to mention it, just describe the category, e.g. irl name, fantasy term, funny word, short initials...)</p><p>----</p><p>Why I am asking (the "length is fine, want to read"): <br>I usually have multiple e-mail accounts, one for newsletters and games and stuff I can nuke without losing much if the spam gets out of hand, one for important things and maybe an extra one for work or for stuff inbetween. For some of them I use free mail options with generic adresses, although I started to pay for the most important ones eventually. </p><p>However, I never felt particularly comfortable doing important stuff via a freemail service, even if they have a paid plan, but once you start to stray from these common ones like gmx, yahoo or gmail, the people you tell your mail address for further contact have a significantly harder time to write it down. Even if it's a thing like "Proton", a word everyone heard at school at some point, in both English and German, I get puzzled looks in doctor's offices etc. And now where I want to move because Proton's CEO turned out to be an irresponsible asshole, to put it mildly, it's probably not going to get any better, considering Tuta was mentioned as an alternative... Yeah I'm sure Elfriede in some remote doctor's office with barely any patients below 70 years old won't require me to spell "tutamail". (sarcasm)</p><p>Of course there is the option to register your own domain and use this. I did this years ago, a part of it was even my actual name, and yet even that caused trouble because the second part was somewhat unusual for a German speaking crowd. Sure, if you use it for places where people get to know my real name anyway, I could go with "irl first name @ irl full name. de" but this feels like I'm asking to be doxxed. And if you name it e.g. related to a work or personality thing, you might end up stuck with a concept you no longer identify with 10 years later. More generic stuff is already taken though, I suppose.</p><p>Currently I own two domains and could use them if I want to be somewhat independent-ish. (I don't know what the CEO of that company is doing, if they are in any way better than the one from Proton, but at least I don't look like a supporter of whoever with an own domain and it's not hosted in Trump's fascist version of the US.)<br>However, these domains are somewhat related to art and online stuff, so I don't feel like they would be convenient enough for daily boring adulthood purposes. I don't know what other name might be good though that is easily understandable, not self-doxxing and not taken though... </p><p>So I struggle with deciding where I put my more important e-mails atm, how or where to host them. That's why I wanted to know how other handle that.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/EMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EMail</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediHelp</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/MastoHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoHelp</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hosting</span></a></p>
John Leach<p>In case you don't know, I run an independent UK hosting company called Brightbox. We offer virtual servers, load balancers, SQL services, object storage, container registry and more. All entirely UK owned and operated. No bullshit.</p><p>If you give us a try, do let me know how you get on.

McChessers<p>I have a small static site (<a href="https://www.washingupsoftwareprojects.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">washingupsoftwareprojects.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) that is hosted on AWS. It gets barely any traffic and costs me less than $7 a month. </p><p>I'd like to stop giving Amazon any money at all if I can help it. Are there any comparable hosting options that aren't owned by oligarchs? I don't need anything fancy, just a place to throw some html, css and images.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hosting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>web</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blog</span></a></p>
