I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

Mailcow, because email is identity.
Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

Hi, could you detail how you utilise Asterisk?

Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.

I just got going on matrix and I wish there were better XMPP iOS apps. Chat services without friends don’t work and bad iOS apps keeps people away. After all this time there isn’t a good adoption of XMPP for iOS except iMessage I guess.

@GregoryTheGreat @beigegull I've got a few friends using xmpp apps on iOS, mostly snikket (which is a rebranded siskin). Works well, notifications work as they should, so does audio/video calling, and e2ee works too of course. Monal has apparently gotten better recently

@beigegull @devve Totally agree that your email is basically your de facto identity online. I didn't have the heart to fully host my own mail server but I made the decision to ditch gmail and use my own domain with a hosted provider. I am hosting my own IMAP server so the plan will be to work my way up to where you are eventually...
