    Holy shit, that’s a pretentious way to say you think you’re hot shit while showing you’ve barely got a chin above script kiddie.

    Where the fuck are you gonna cram billions of new DNS records? You trying to nuke the whole system?

    Billions of new IP addresses? From where, your ass? IPv4’s fucking dead and IPv6 is crawling.

    You want billions of shitty home servers? Why not just hand cybercriminals the keys to everyone’s data?

    No big email providers for spam filtering? Hope you like dick pills and Nigerian princes.

    Home servers for email? Great plan. Who needs reliability when the power goes out or your shit internet drops?

    You think everyone can afford this? Some people can barely pay rent, let alone run a fucking server.

    “Private” home servers? Please. They’d fold faster than a house of cards in a hurricane up against any direct persistent attack from any capable threat actors.

    Try running a big mailing list on your puny home setup. Watch that shit crash and burn.

    Good luck explaining to the feds why you can’t cough up subpoenaed emails.

    You really think billions of clueless users can handle this? It’s like giving toddlers chainsaws.

    Everyone run their own email on locally hosted domains…? Jesus fucking Christ. What are you, 14?

    Edit: lemy.lol has MX records that point to icloud.

    This toolbag indeed uses someone else’s services for their email exchange.

      Definitely not accessible for everyone, but I don’t think they’re insinuating that everyone needs to host their own server.

      My brother has the one with the apple bundle that was super easy to set up bc it’s Apple, but he can still move the domain if needed.

      Sorry, but you are aware there’s a TON of commercial services, starting from $1/month (or even less), that allow you to bring your own domain and host email, right?

      Hell even my boomer interior designer mom was able to figure out how to buy a domain and set up email hosting on it, so it’s not like this is some hyper-technical complicated thing that nobody could possibly figure out, because it’s just tooo haaaard.

      You don’t actually NEED to run your own server for email to own your own domain, so your fit over script kiddies and billions of IPs or whatever is kinda uh, not how any of this needs to work for normal people.

        You are referring to leasing a domain, not owning one.

        This person is adamant about ownership.

        What you are referring to is borrowing others services, which is what they are explicitly detesting as foolish.

        It’s pure naivete. Mom’s basement shit.
