I don’t running your own server is the only way and frankly I
don’t think it is the best way. Division of labour is a great
idea, and many great programmers are poor system administrators
(at least, Linus admitted it openly [1]). There is a middle
way between having everything with the advertising agency or
Microsoft and having to be MIS department on your own. Lately,
I prefer services which I actually pay for. Then I have at
least some guarantee that the provider would treat me as a
customer not as goods to be sold. I have switched all my
Email/AddressBook/Calendar/Webhosting needs to Fastmail, and all
my source code hosting to Sourcehut. However, the main idea is
that once you get outside of the Microsoft zoo, you can see that
there is the whole open world out there.

Best,

Matěj
