-My laptop is a Thinkpad Edge E530. I was lucky to get it quite cheaply without Windows preinstalled. I like about it that it did not yet fail over the last years. I replaced the crappy hard disk with a SSD to get some performance out of the otherwise not very powerful laptop. The screen is not that good, but the fact that it's a matte screen makes it quite usable in the sunlight. I removed the camera and microphone. `This guide <http://www.insidemylaptop.com/replace-screen-on-lenovo-e530-laptop/>`_ was quite helpful for that, although it's actually for replacing the screen. However, the same steps make it possible to access the camera and microphone module above the screen.
+My laptop is a Thinkpad Edge E530. I was lucky to get it quite cheaply without Windows preinstalled. What I like about it is that it did not yet fail over the last couple of years. I replaced the crappy hard disk with a SSD to get some performance out of the otherwise not very powerful laptop. The screen is not that good, but the fact that it's a matte screen makes it quite usable in the sunlight. I removed the camera and microphone. `This guide <http://www.insidemylaptop.com/replace-screen-on-lenovo-e530-laptop/>`_ was quite helpful for that, although it's actually for replacing the screen.

I built my own PC after I had finished school and I still use it today. The CPU is an Intel Core i7-860 and runs overclocked at 3.4 GHz which is still enough for my performance needs. The processor is perfectly cooled by a `Scythe Mugen 2 Rev.B <http://www.overclock.net/products/scythe-scmg-2100-mugen-2-rev-b>`_ which is not only really huge but also very quiet. I added 8 GB of RAM and the motherboard is a `MSI P55-GD65 <https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/P55GD65.html>`_. I can't really say something positive about the motherboard as it made quite some issues over the years. The only bad purchase besides the motherboard was the GPU. I managed to buy a variant of the Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 from EVGA that has the fan always running at 100%. To keep the noise down, I replaced the fan with an `Alpenföhn Klara <http://www.alpenfoehn.de/auslaufmodelle/klara>`_. The power supply is from `bequiet! <http://www.bequiet.com/>`_ and everything is kept inside a nice Aluminium case from Lian Li that also has a side panel window. The only issue is the sometimes oscillating and thus noisy side panel.

In my experience, setting up email processing is the most difficult part of a self-hosted setup. On the servers, my mail is handled by `Postfix <http://www.postfix.org/>`_, `Dovecot <http://dovecot.org/>`_, `amavisd-new <https://www.amavis.org/>`_, `SpamAssassin <https://spamassassin.apache.org/>`_, `Postgrey <http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/>`_, `Roundcube <https://roundcube.net/>`_ and `ClamAV <https://www.clamav.net/>`_. Everything is glued together with MySQL.
-On my home server, `Tiny Tiny RSS <https://tt-rss.org/gitlab/fox/tt-rss/wikis/home>`_ aggregates all my various reading sources including news, blogs, comics and software updates. I also have an `ownCloud <https://owncloud.org/>`_ instance running, but it's only used to share files with others. At some point, I will replace ownCloud with `Coquelicot <https://coquelicot.potager.org/>`_ which is much easier to maintain and does everything that is needed for file sharing. I do my own file syncing with `git-annex <https://git-annex.branchable.com/>`_. Calendar and contacts are synced with `Radicale <http://radicale.org/>`_. I also maintain an `Etherpad <http://etherpad.org/>`_ instance for notes and to work together with others on documents. `Prosody <https://prosody.im/>`_ works best for me as a Jabber/XMPP server. Besides `Tor <https://www.torproject.org/>`_, I experiment with `I2P <https://geti2p.net/en/>`_, especially with the file sharing part of it. `BIND <https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/>`_ does my DNS, but shame on me: I still didn't have the time to set up `DNSSEC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnssec>`_ and `DANE <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Named_Entities>`_. But I use `Unbound <https://www.unbound.net/>`_ as a recursive DNS resolver on my routers and on my laptop. In this way, I have at least DNSSEC validation support available.

Together with the services that are hosted `here <https://fossencdi.org>`__, I am able to self-host every service that I need and that involves my personal data.
