The one thing I'll never recommend anyone selfhost is email. It's just plain not worth it.

You can do literally everything right and still get cucked by spam filters because you're not a recognized email provider.

If you're dealing with this much storage, it's time to upgrade to a rack. Don't deal with having to shove 10 drives into a packed full-size.

Start scouring 2nd hand auction sites and buy one used. They're pretty cheap as far as solutions go if you can grab them used. Something like this would be ideal: https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM22-312/

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

Unless you start an encrypted chat, Telegram chats are not E2E.

I’m also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

Host your own Matrix node, and then you don't have to worry about prying eyes. Realistically, instead of worrying about the protocol, worry about the content of the text. Use PGP to encrypt your own text and send it over clearnet. Who cares at that point.

It will be in 10 years when a majority of their country has access to it. Industrialization in China is on a different level.

In less than 25 years they will take the top spot for global economy, and likely everything else.

As someone who's set up and managed critical business applications I would say that it's perfectly fine to host your own provided you have decent hardware that's capable of doing what you need and as a dedicated business line to provide connection.

If you try to run mission critical business applications on a home internet connection you're going to have a really bad fucking time. But hosting business critical applications on appropriate hardware and a 1Gb/s business connection with an SLA is going to meet 95-98%% of all business applications.

If something like that sounds expensive or too difficult to do then it's too expensive or too difficult for you to host yourself. Just go with a provider and sidestep self-host.

Chest freezers are exceptionally energy efficient. It's not a very good comparison.

No actual professional company or job of value is not going to check your curriculum or your work history.... So like sure you may get that job at quality inn as a night manager making $12 an hour because they didn't fucking bother to check your resume...

But you're not getting some CS job making $120,000 a year because they didn't check your previous employer. Lol

You're completely missing what he's saying, and how that number is calculated. It's an average connection speed over time and you're anecdotally saying your internet is superior because you have a higher connection speed, which isn't really true at all.

You have residential internet which is able to provide 3Gbps intermittently. You may even be able to sustain those speeds for several days at a time. But servers maintain those connections for months and years at a time...

800TB/mo is 2.469 Gb/s sustained for 30 days. They may be on a 10Gb/s connection, but that doesn't mean they have enough demand to saturate it 100% of the time.
