Article is not great, but I share the general sentiment that running your own email is not difficult. Setup takes some time, but once done - it’s just a regular linux server, nothing fancy about it. Letsencrypt takes care of the certs, cron takes care of rebooting when necessary.
You mean when you update the kernel? No one updates init on BSDs. This is mostly a entire world upgrade. But I’d never reboot from cron. My servers run 100 days without a reboot on average. In most cases there is no reason to update world, only the packages.
Of course, but I can see and understand what is patched and can see if I’m affected or not. In the previous version I haven’t been affected for 500 days.

Reboot? Since when does Linux need a reboot? I’ve been thinking about migrating from FreeBSD to Linux, but now I am confused.
It has always needed a reboot when it comes to kernel or init. Same applies to BSDs.

Keeping your kernel updated is definitely recommend
