So, I run my own email server – and I love doing so. Whilst there are issues, inconveniences, and all the rest of it, I do enjoy running my own system. But my email server runs on the same server as everything else – and that’s an issue, as I tend to break things. I’ve …

On December 31st, 2020, at 23:00, over 66,000,000 people lost access to registering domains under ccTLDs like .eu, .fr, pm, .it, and many others.
