And here I am, with a firstname@lastname.de address, running my own mail server.

  • People sometimes act like this is pure magic
  • Some providers only allow popular mail services on signup (fuck those), so I had to set up a GMail address that just redirects to my actual one
  • My last name is really hard to spell, so it probably wasn't the best idea, since I always struggle communicating that address verbally

The pain of running this still beats having to deal with a free provider out there that either spams my inbox with their own BS or just skims through the data to serve me ads.

I have @firstnamelastname.tld since last name was taken (unrelated to me).

Typically use company@firstnamelastname.tld when giving out my email to keep track of spam so I used airline@firstnamelastname.tld when buying tickets.

At the check in the person saw my airline@ email and askes: oh do you also work for airline?
