  • I mostly just use my phone for/at work. I already have a server that could operate as a pihole at home, but my PC already blocks everything under the sun, so it’s not really needed.

    I get most of my stuff off f-droid unless I don’t have any other choice, and use firefox with ublock+noscript on my phone as-is. But it is nice to not have to worry about getting ads in anything else when I do install an odd game or something, though.






  • For my instance, I already have an MXRoute account that I use for my personal email, so I just set up an account on there and pointed Lemmy at that. I’ve been down the road of self-hosting email, and it is a dreadful experience.

    Granted, that was with full inboxes and POP3, just hosting the send part might not be so bad. But then you have to contend with possibly being on spam lists, and those are hard to get yourself removed from. If you have some cash to let someone else deal with that headache for you, I fully encourage taking that route.
