    I run my email server, but not at home. Running it at home is not all all more difficult, but it will only work for internal traffic and inbound from the internet. Residential IPs are simply blacklisted by ISP and as such - nothing will reach external recipients. Still useful, but is limited.

    To have your smtp reach everyone globally you need to run it on a business IP. I use Linode, has worked very well since the setup in 2019, although they did get acquired by Akamai, which might become an issue at some point.

    Only answering your last paragraph. You will not, ever, find a 1:1 equivalent for a few reasons, but mostly because:

    • Windows quircks do not have to be accomodated in Linux distros
    • Microsoft has very much encouraged massive software where everything is done in a single application, whereas in UNIX world the philosophy is to do one thing and do it well.
    • Not sure how DFS works, but with the myriad of networked filesystems available I’m sure there’s an exact requirement match.

    Users can be centrally managed in a myriad of ways, but the most used software seems to be following the same X.500 standard - OpenLDAP, FreeIPA, etc.

    Machines can be centrally managed via Puppet, Chef, etc.

    Company software is managed by having your own repo.

    SELinux can be used for incredibly granular access controls, but I can’t see most companies actually needing that.

    To sum it up - you’ll always have trouble if you’re solving a windows problem in linux and vice versa. Just for a moment, try imagining a situation where you want to switch a 100% linux company to windows.

    You a teen, it’s fine - we’ve all been there. I’ll tell you something I wish someone had told me when I was a teen - people are trying to reach out to you, but you’re actively shutting them down. Quit being a dumb edgy ass and form some memories together - it won’t be long until you start missing last chances.

    Filled in the survey. A few notes:

    • Some of my answers make no sense on the surface - like the “experiment with new technology” block (4 questions). I’ve answered “Agree” to all of them, because I have taken time into account, which is not represented on the questions. Long story short - I do love experimenting with new tech, I’m almost always the first one to try something among my peers, but at the same I never blindly jump in (I’m hesitant) as most of the “new technology” is just
      • Someone repackaging foss and relabeling it
      • Some LLM bullshit
      • An inferior product to what already exists

    There are also scenarios where I have already found something that’s the best solution for my case, so I won’t even bother looking at something new, even if it might be the best thing since sliced bread for someone else.

    • TIme and effort setting up/maintaining (4 questions). It doesn’t take much time nor effort to set anything up now, but it did when I was starting out initially. I knew very little and a bunch of concepts hadn’t clicked, yet, so it took me days to set up Nextcloud and about half a year (on and off. Probably a week or so if it were all squeezed together) for email.

    • The performance and intent to use in the future questions are weird - they feel like the same question, just leveling off in intensity. I’ve selected the same answer for all of them. They probably should’ve been a single question with agree/disagree options swapped for intensity levels.

    Good luck with your PhD!
