I do all my editing in neovim, with omnisharp as an lsp. It works pretty well. Happy to send you my dotfiles if you want.

Microsoft doesn't care about you upgrading your personal computer. they care about business licenses. Enterprise pays the bills, and enterprise computers have all had TPM for ages.

I've been using my selfhosted mailserver on a cheap VPS for a few years with no issues. It took about a week to get DMARC/DKIM/SPF setup right, and then a few back and forth email threads to my email addresses hosted on gmail, yahoo, and M365 allowed me to gain trustworthy status with them.

I'm very interested in a similar setup.
