Oh shit, yes, hosting at-home and with a non-static IP sounds like hard mode, oof.

I am hosting at a server provider (guess I am dependent on them, but at least it’s on their existence, not on a policy-of-the-day), with a static IP. Had no problems with MS/Google, only with T-online, who wanted me to host a website on the domain with clear contact information.

Fair TBH. It is such a critical service to keep working.

But it does feel pretty amazing to free yourself of the whims of a provider 😅 I assume that’s why you have not gone back either? ^^

I’m using Hetzner in Germany. Need to message them to say you want the relevant ports opened (spam protection measures), happens within an hour usually.

I quite like their service, but of course use full disk encryption etc

Selfhosting. (But I recognize that that is not an option for everyone.)

We were talking about SwiftKey

Who knows?

Unless a piece of software is open source, you cannot know.

I switched a couple of months ago, from SwiftKey. Had been using that for ever, long before Microsoft bought it.

NGL, the transition was a bit rough, and the first month my error rate spiked. All good now though, plus Futo has a bunch of super useful features SK never had. Overall, very happy.

Yep, though it’s currently just a portfolio site I link to in applications.

Plus also some selfhosting (jitsi, personal mailserver + webmail and contacts+calendar), though most other stuff is on a second domain and pointed at my home.
