Yeah, maybe try the Dodo first or something else less dangerous than a giant wolf, right?

I am certain that the software has improved a lot in 20 years.

Back then it was a bold move. Today, doable? I'll be following this.

US LEO are the real ones. In UK+EU they really aren't murderous villains, many don't even carry a gun.

And politicians don't murder, they just fleece us.

I pay ~8€ per month at DreamHost, for many, many domains and databases and mailboxes. I worry that having to maintain a VPS myself is tedious and risky, and there's no automatic backups, and there's no tech support, and it can't possibly be as cheap. I'm fine hosting some stuff at home, but for some things (like mailboxes) I want a real independent service I can trust.

I'm still a huge DH fan. It's just that the latency from Europe is noticeable, and also there's an increased risk that some self-proclaimed dicktator might do something stupid so I lose access to my account and my mailboxes. We've all read the horror stories of people suddenly being permabanned by Google and losing access to all their precious data. I'm trying to cover some scenarios here.

 

I am selfhosting a lot of stuff, but some things are on good old DreamHost instead, for reasons of reliability and such. I'm sure many of you are in a similar position.

I've been extremely happy with DreamHost since ~28 years but various reasons prompt me to look for EU options. I am not looking for just plain stupid webhosting (not VPS) but the options I see are so limited: limited subdomains, limited mailboxes, limited databases, limited everything. DH has always offered "unlimited everything" for a few dollars per month, that's an insanely good offering.

Still, if you could recommend a good EU webhosting provider, what would you say?

Hah, I get you, man. I left the place almost 25 years ago and nothing after WinXP was good. It irks me that open source Office suites just aren't good enough (looking at you, Calc) or I'd be using Linux on desktop, too, not just on my servers.

Hey, I'll take you up on that. Better than no sex, amirite?

Makers by Cory Doctorow is a great novel that explores exactly this.

Email is a must for between businesses. Having said that, lots of internal communication is findingther channels, like Teams, Slack, and so on.

You keep talking about refusing inheritance. Why? It sounds like everyone is trying to avoid something, but I don't see what or why.
