@kevinrutherford Yes, email for a long time (haven't bothered with calendar yet). The initial setup might be less than you'd think, and the ongoing maintenance definitely less than you'd think, with a good book like this one from @mwl: https://mwl.io/nonfiction/tools#ryoms . And then your stuff is yours, and one less part of your digital life is mystical. I've found it worthwhile.

(For long-winded personal reasons I run and develop @notqmail instead of using Postfix. https://schmonz.com/2017/03/27/automation-for-mail-hosting/ says more in terms that might appeal to your XP feelings, but I cannot yet honestly recommend notqmail to folks who aren't already running qmail. Someday.)
