Why do some ISPs charge a monthly fee and others a one off fee? I paid one off with my ISP several years ago for my static IPv4.

If they want to transcode they'll need a dedicated GPU in that instance because they'll lose QuickSync.

But then don't you end up having to subscribe two or more different providers? Or is there a particular monthly provider that has incredible availability? I have block accounts with three different providers.

Oh wow that catch all thing sounds like a really handy alternative to disposable emails. Thank you! I will also look into spam assassin. Logged into my VPS to remember what software I'm using - dovecot and postfix.

EDIT: installed and configured SpamAssassin. Thank you, that was easy!

Myanonamouse.net is an incredible private tracker for audiobooks that has semi-open sign ups. You just have to pass an interview.

Yeah I always coveted one but couldn't justify the cost over second hand dell or lenovo SFF PCs.

I self host one of my emails on my VPS. I can't even remember the software I used it's been that long. One issue I have is spam. Have you found any way of controlling that?

Oh wow genuinely interesting. Thanks, I've learned something. I had the wrong impression.

Ah OK, I might have assumed wrong then that running a server on ARM is a little trickier. Never done it. Only ever used nginx for my websites on my VPS. Don't want to deal with the security and uptime headaches of running my websites on my home server.

Hosting personal websites on your own hardware is such a pain, and I would imaging doing it on a rpi would be even more of a pain than on x86 architecture. If at all an option I'd recommend hosting on something like github pages or better still on a VPS.

Mid 30s, healthcare worker but I suppose I'm a tech enthusiast. Use windows on work computer due to needing a few windows only programs for work, Unraid on my NAS, and Ubuntu on my VPS. So I guess 1 and 3 are true and half of 2.
