I have three setups DEV: an environment that is almost useless thanks to how many changes have to be made between production and the development environment.

TEST: A More useful exact cloan of production that you still have to edit specific things but it is usually the same each time.

PROD: this one just never works right.

It should have the numbers change in the middle like a digital clock but look like the numbers on a clock.

First things first, unless you are strictly mailing yourself or you plan on having discussions with google/microsoft/apple… dump the mail Idea, Trust me it’s not worth it and probably won’t work.

I would make the argument that the boot drive should always be ssd but the rest is a matter of patience and money

TLDR: don’t bother with Email, boot is ssd and reset hdd unless you’re rich or not much data.

Learn NGINX that is the only answer, it’s a B!+€# to get configured but once you know how it will save you so much time, If you want cheat mode run the docker image and use the web interface but make sure to rtfm there are some gotch ya’s

Assuming %0.2 Tax:

A $50 HDD would cost : $60

A $150 HDD would cost:

$180

With a difference of $160

Also reliability is basically the only thing that matters in an HDD if you are going for speed get an SSD
