You can find a reputable mail provider and smarthost through them. You can smarthost through a friend&#39;s server. You can purchase a cheap VPS and smarthost through that. <br/> <br/>The point is that all the advantages of running your own server (or as many of them as you care about) are all still there. For instance, you can have real, physical possession of your data, keeping it out of the hands of unscrupulous corporate entities that&#39;ll sell your data for pennies. You can decide precisely who and how to block. You can have full logs of all attempted deliveries, both from you and to you.

Most web sites were slow. I decided to open the web inspector in Safari and use the Timeline and Network panes. <br/> <br/>I&#39;m no web developer, but you don&#39;t have to be to see what can safely be blocked. Do we need files from adsafeprotected.com, or adkernel.com, or admaster.cc? Do we need domains that serve nothing but 1K to 2K GIFs? How about hostnames with &#34;pixel&#34; in the name, like pixel.wp.com? Anything with &#34;analytics&#34; in the name? <br/> <br/>The way I block is similar to how Pi-hole works: I created a generic zone file that returns all queries as 127.0.0.1, and for each domain, subdomain or hostname, I add a new zone in BIND that uses the generic zone file. <br/> <br/>After a few iterations of this, the amount of memory that web sites took, the speed at which they loaded, and the speed at which I could browse sites without my fans running at full speed made me feel like I was using the web from a decade earlier. <br/> <br/>Unlike many ad blockers, I feel much more in control this way and can block things that more directly impact the sites I frequent. <br/> <br/>Just something to consider. 2025-09-13T15:18:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs87qtgxxrktsq4grrfhatkluwt8zanrltazhfg0u0cqfsd4x08xwqzyp2dhs3fspqt5rf7ryh8yzr8u6yktn07tw242pj7phqxh9jedgnsu2nf7zs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgea230yggsxup0k6ew046kc4q5nwkmx5jteuzm9dma5duxzm2y9gpm8k6g'>nevent1q…8k6g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I thought the WiFi stuff is behind the metal covered chip in the corner next to the 40 pin header, and that the chip with an added heat sink is the SOC... 2025-08-18T14:51:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8e2jcdllkydsy9kkgtfvcs4kqp6fqlvtvu70am8swfgyfxwad7qszyp2dhs3fspqt5rf7ryh8yzr8u6yktn07tw242pj7phqxh9jedgnsug3uecz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvju6numgf2atdcqhsqpzay92mq79d42y96ssnhlkn0fqp3gxqwdgf7hdc5'>nevent1q…hdc5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sure, but that just means people should be careful. <br/> <br/>For instance, I have colocated machines with uncapped bandwidth.
