Most of the other reply go the same way, so I really appreciate all of you taking the time to write detailed messages, I have many resources/services I can check to take my first steps into self hosting now.

    That is good advice, and I do trust reliable services over my poor skills. I understand self hosting emails is out of reach, but I think I'll still give self hosting a try for smaller things.

    Thank you for your reply, you are seconded by many others, if I get started on this self hosting journey, I'll start with simple stuff I don't care too much about, and test it out before leveling up on skills/security, and we'll see if I eventually end up self hosting emails, but I don't see it coming in a near future.

    Hi,

    The last google product that is use is gmail, and while searching for a solid alternative, many threads mentionned self hosting, which has been on my mind for a little while but here is what's stopping me so far: 1/ it sounds like a single point vulnerability 2/ I lack the skills.

    As for #2, I've been down the privacy rabbithole for a couple years now, I know there are a lot of resources out there and I'm not afraid to learn, I just don't know where to start.

    But I don't see the point in learning if in the end, I just build a server that could die in a domestic accident, resulting in me loosing a lot of important data.

    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated,

     

    Hi!

    I had an issue while installing an app through fdroid, so I shut fdroid down because the install process was going on and never ending after several minutes, but know I can't install the app from fdroid nor from the direct apk file.

    I suspect there's a file stored somewhere, creating a conflict and preventing me from installing the app that I need, but i can't access the directory where apps from fdroid are stores unless I root my device, which I don't feel comfortable doing.

    Has anyone had the same issue? What are my options?

    Also I'm running GrapheneOS.

    Thank you for your help,

    Hi,

    I need to leave my country for a couple days, but my cellphone plan doesn't cover data oversea and I don't like to rely on WiFi. A relative suggested that I try Saily, which is an esim provider that you can load with whatever you need in the country you're visiting but I'm again reluctant to use an app when I don't know how trustworthy it is.

    Has anyone ever faced the same issue? Should I simply let go of my internet connexion and enjoy a couple days off the the internet?

    Cheers and thanks for your help
