  • My favourite is that kernel writes in ram. Kid, do you even know how computers work at all? Where should the kernel write? On paper?

    Anyway, worry about getting your pc compromised and prevent unwanted access both physical and remote, logs will help you detect unwanted access, so there is that: logs keep you safe.

    Do not turn off logging. Or do turn off logging, it’s your machine after all and you are free, as in Linux, to do so if you want.

    But your privacy will not be any safer.









  • To be honest it’s mostly FUD. Self host email is perfectly doable provided that:

    • you don’t use your home IP
    • you do DNS records correctly
    • you do DKIM & DMARC correctly
    • you don’t send spam

    What happened to me over the years was having the subnet my ip was is being associated to spammers, and that was a problem. It took several iterations with blacklists and my provider to get it sorted. That’s why I recommend using a reputable service provider that take care of spammers in a timely manner.
