Felipe Baez📬 Big milestone for me today: I’m officially no longer using iCloud Mail or Calendar — in fact, I’ve stopped relying on any big tech email provider altogether. 💥
Email is notoriously one of the hardest services to self-host — a constant game of whack-a-mole with spam filters, DNS records, and SMTP quirks. So reaching this point feels… honestly liberating.
(Okay, I’ll still use Hide My Mail from iCloud because it’s fantastic for privacy — credit where it’s due.)
Also: I’ve started working on the first tutorials in my self-hosting series! 🎥
We’ll begin with the essentials — DNS, reverse proxy, and how to safely expose your services online. Everything builds from there.
