#EUSovereignty #W3C #FOSS #NLnet #EuroStack 5/5

In the discussion, the dev who originally responded just pointed to the #NLnet pro-AI-but-mark-it-and-we-don’t-pay-for-it policy, while another F-Droid developer started with insults then pulled the “just a tool” card only to compare using #AI with using Windows as development platform, completely losing the plot of slop propagation.

Sad to see another supposedly-FOSS thing die with #fdroid embracing the fashtech. (Not as in using it themselves, but very well as actively welcoming äpps that use it and knocking down any criticism.)

Yes, I participated in two projects funded by #NLnet
First, #CAcert (I was on the board from 2012 to 2016, most recently as Vice President). Then, from 2016 until its unfortunate discontinuation in 2022, I worked on the #WPIA project, again as Vice President and also as Managing Director.

I have to say that the email server actually requires the least work of all.
I use the #MailCow Suite @doncow , and a lot of it is already automated, and the individual components work together seamlessly.
My mail server "serves" almost the entire family network, as well as 4 small businesses and a handful of clubs. So, about 10 or 12 "main domains", and around 20 or 25 alias domains.

IP reputation hasn't worried me much either; I've only had one blacklisting issue in the last five years, but the hosting provider resolved it within a few hours. And of course, you have to ensure that #DKIM, #DMARC, #SPF etc. work together correctly. Then it becomes quite easy.
So I'd say things have gotten easier since I started #selfhosting e-Mail years ago. (#mDaemon was my first hosting suite for e-Mail).

Edit: I should also mention that I run an email setup with a primary mail server and a backup mail server.

You're right, funding from #NLnet is a very good sign. I've had the real pleasure of working on two NLnet-funded projects in the past.

I agree with you that the barriers to entry for #selfhosting many services are unfortunately very high—far too high for many. But that's precisely where tools like #YunoHost steps in.

I've been playing around with it a bit over the last few days and I have to say it's really easy to use. The fact that devices like #RaspberryPi are explicitly supported makes the barrier to entry much lower in my opinion.

My situation is a bit different. I already self-host a lot of things: #DNS, #webserver, #email, #cloud, #Matrix, #Mastodon, #Pixelfed. And everything runs on Raspberry Pis. Some of it is at my home, much of it in #hosting locations distributed across Europe.
