21 days agoI’m incredibly skeptical of the self-hosting email server claims. With the past 30 years of spam, most of the majors make it nigh impossible to do so. I know there are diehards out there that make it happen; it’s not as easy as it was 20 years ago though.
Edit: Very useful HN thread with multiple perspectives (not just my doom and gloom)
Please don’t take me as a GH shill because I’m not. I’m not sure we read the same email given your projects. Actions on GH runners are dropping in cost and there’s a new fractional cost for self-hosted. For the average user, especially those on GH runners, costs are going down. Looking at your repo, you haven’t run anything since July. Your workflow files use GH runners. Nothing in your history suggests you’re leaving the free tier so I don’t get this FUD at all. General Microsoft hate? Fuck yeah. Shitty GH service? Fuck yeah. Plenty of reasons to dunk but this was not one of them. M
