A year-or-so ago I (successfully) experimented with setting up a secondary self-hosted mail server(long time gmail user otherwise) and immediately learned that, despite of all the FUD around it, hosting email is the easy part. Setting up stalwart with all the bells and whistles takes a few hours for competent technical individual.

I really appreciate that we have a choice, but I honestly don't get how anyone can call Thunderbird an awesome email client given it's UX - am I using the wrong Thunderbird? It gets the job done, but the UI is bloated(all options must fit onto the screen at all times), slow and confusing. Happy to see alternatives emerging - vibe-coded or not.

It's a pity, but one should probably expect some commercialization after almost 20 years of these kinds of events being held all over Estonia. The experience varies a lot from place to place, though, and many smaller places still have that homespun feel.
