Many other guides dive deep into 10 plus pages of how to set up such a service with Dovecot, Postfix and a web server all from the command line, but this one is a lot simpler because most of what you need is inside Citadel. Citadel also has calendar, Contacts, Notes, Tasks and chat rooms so can be a good alternative to Google or other providers. Your only cost really is the Raspberry Pi and a domain name if you don’t already have one.

You could tweak this a bit further by using your own DNS provider (or alternative to Cloudflare) and considering an external hard drive connected to the Pi for reliability.

      Do you think that a government violating it’s own constitution will be stopped by a software license? Do people really believe that?

      Thechnology is like any other tool, say, a hammer or a screwdriver. It serves it’s owner. It depends on the owner what it’s used for.

      Surveillance should be illegal either way, we shouldn’t rely on software licenses to do that.

      I will also insist that master is not racist. It’s not like only a single race was ever enslaved.

      Also would you call the master bedroom, racist? I hope not.
