    I got tired of all the problems with providers and learned how to run my own mail server twenty years ago. Certainly not an option for most people but I would never go back to relying on someone else for something I can do at home.

      I used to do that too around back in 2005-2006. Then my ISP started blocking important ports and stuck us all on DHCP. For me, that’s when the internet started to suck. It’s just gotten worse and worse.

        Well I’m lucky there… my city is my ISP, and I pay for the static IPs. I have completely unlimited access on my connection.
