Not a bad idea!

I'm trying not to come across as a VM salesman and just to be thorough and specific about the information I'm sharing. Here I go. Vultr rents out a VM for $2.50/mo., full specs below. That easily out-competes most of the private email services reviewed, price-wise! You just have to figure out how you're going to do backups.

(Message me for a referral code if any of you are interested so we each each get a couple bucks free credit.)

Specs for the cheapo VM:

  • 10 GB disk space on an SSD
  • 512 MB of RAM
  • 500 GB monthly bandwidth
  • But... it only does IPv6!
  • The pre-configured OSes available to choose from includes Ubuntu, and there are numerous "get Mail-in-a-box installed on Ubuntu" guides available online.
  • Note: The $2.50/mo. IPv6-only box is only available in some Server Locations such as New Jersey, USA. Not sure what the rhyme or reason for that is.

If you can handle the fact that you'll only get an IPv6 address, that box is more than sufficient to serve email. It's $3.50 for the same machine but with IPv4.

Near as I can tell, people have no control over the development of their sexual preferences. Some men discover they are only attracted to other men. For those men, faggotry the gateway to some of the deepest and most profound experiences of fulfillment and pleasure available to humans. I want everyone to experience as much joy, pleasure, happiness, and meaning as possible during their short lives. Ergo, faggotry is good.

Apparently a whole slew of browsers are sending IPv6 connections whenever they connect, "just to see which one is faster", which sure sounds like a lot of bandwidth for somebody to pay for ... must be worth it to someone.

Don't they just send a packet to measure response time? I'm not certain that'd amount to any noticeable increase in monthly BW usage.

Can someone who actually understands the Dismalest Science enlighten us?

I'm not your guy. It's an interesting topic of discussion and I hope someone who knows what they're talking about can come in and enlighten us.

Expect more detailed, street level maps of "evil Trump supporters" to be made indexable and available to all. I'd assume that if you uploaded images or videos without first stripping the meta data out yourself, or if you had a verified account and uploaded your ID and details, that you're already on some 'evil conservative' list that's being compiled and refined.
