What? .local is the dedicated TLD for Zeroconf/Bonjour/mDNS! How is that deprecated?

And you’re just reconfirming my point: All of these recommendations are great for publicly hosted sites or corporate environments, but largely impracticable for home users that don’t know how to, or don’t want to, have a second job as sysadmins.

Home users also don't have IMAP servers they run themselves. They are in public email service.

    I don't think it's crazy for a NAS to provide an IMAP server, e.g. to backup or archive a large mailbox.

    One of the selling points of a NAS is that storage is much cheaper than what the large cloud providers charge per GB and month.

      Cool, you don't but obviously you don't deal with a ton of normal users. They are not running NASes, they will just toss Google some cash for bigger GMail box.
