I pay $6USD/month for a cloud box that's encrypted and has been running for years, no outages, no downtime.
For a large organization? Sure. For your family and friends? No.
There are lots of tutorials, and choosing a security-first OS is also wise... OpenBSD is my current favourite.
Honestly, building a mail server isn't that hard if you aren't afraid of the command line.
And when making hundreds of billions of dollars off of the 'woke' crowd that subscribes to the 'building a better tomorrow' ideal, turning into an ignorant and unrepentant fascist piece of shit is a good way to erode market share for free, if you exclude the $46 Billion USD social media site purchase, which is now worth essentially nothing.
This is how we found out my mother had it:
Mom: "The colours on this new TV are terrible. Everyone is green."
Me: "Okay, hold on, let me adjust the tint."
Mom: "Now they're too blue."
Me: adjusts the colour temp
Mom: "Ew, now everyone is too yellow, it's like the Simpsons."
- one hour later of adjusting each setting by one step *
Mom: "Well, it's still not right, but it's less awful."

Is it bigotry to say that both sides have done some horrific shit, and that the current conflict is approaching 100 years, and was going on in different forms for centuries before that?
Is it bigotry to say there's no solution as long as both sides have the goal of exterminating the other, and weaponizing the grief of their own groups?
The whole thing is the very definition of a clusterfuck, and I'm not a member of either group, so I normally shut the fuck up.
Is it anything like multi-threaded xz -- in that you're trading encoding speed for size?
