Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I've looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it's worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket.

The features I believe worth the most are the 500GB storage, IMAP support, all the VPN servers with P2P and unlimited SimpleLogin aliases, but when I ask if it is worth the price I mean, the majority of those features I can have them having individually with others services and even at lower price.

I mean, you could also just self-host 🤷

Self hosting email is a huge PITA. That's one service you better pay for.

This guy who has been hosting his own email for 23 years and gave up agrees.

I mean, yeah, but first I need to learn to self-host.

Having a Rasp Pi 3/4 with Tailscale installed made it idiot proof for me.

Hell, I gave a spare pi to a family member which means I have off site storage and also get to VPN straight into their network to help them out (they technophobes and have no idea what's happening). If I can do it, you can.

SMB Syncing is fun ;)
