A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

I self hosted email for years and it did take a fair bit of maintenance. Since moving to Mailcow all I have to do is keep it updated (subscribe to their telegram channel for updates) and that's it. It's never broken or needed maintenance other than that.
Can you tell me about mailcow's pros and cona based on your experience?
Cons: some knowledge of Docker is required A static IP is helpful but not a requirement If your ISP uses gcnat then that's a problem. Using a residential IP isn't great for reputation
Pros: It's a very well thought out system Very few bugs Excellent documentation Includes spam protection, webmail and a bunch of other features itjustworks
