    I am in the process of slowly buying up the hardware and learning the needed information to self host, I degoogled my life which was a hard thing and Proton was the easier place to go and it was intended to be a place holder till I feel confident enough to switch everything over to a self hosted setup. Using Proton’s VPN is more a frugal choice.

    I’ve setup my first Pi Nas (raspberry 5 pi nas) and that was my first step in my self hosting journey, I do own my domains for my emails so step 2 is to get another raspberry 5 and setup my own self hosted website server and email.

    I’ve always been a tech savvy guy but my field is manufacturing, I’m not a software or web developer like a lot of the people on here so it’s a bit of a slower pace and learning curve for me but I’m working on it. Also it doesn’t help that it’s getting more and more expensive to self host by the day.

    I do value the input and information I learn on here and appreciate the explanation.
