In particular, host my own email and DNS seems a good place to start. However how can you truly self host this? Typically you would need to host this with a hosting services of some kind. If you host it from your home internet connection, you're still using an ISP that can be subpenaed for information. If you are hosting with hosting service, you can encrypt your drives and data, but you would need to avoid virtualization, as memory and other data processing can be monitored by the hosting environment. I'm wondering if any others have put much thought into this, or implemented their own? I don't really have a question, it just seems like an interesting topic for discussion. :) -John /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
