If you want to self-host it on a server, WriteFreely is as lean text focused platform. Lightweight and pretty easy to spin up and has some basic federation abilities.
If you're a bit more adventurous, I have a soft spot for Plume it is still under development so can be a little more work to get running, but it does have the ability to host images with a built in media manager and more federation interactivity between instances of Plume and also the rest of the fediverse.
If you're on a web host, can't go wrong with WordPress just make sure to use the cache plugins to make sure it is a bit less sluggish.
I had this problem once, Pagekite.net is made for exactly this. There are also some VPNs that provide static IPs - one in my part of the world is Franciliens

That's really weird "Proton Mail Bridge is currently available for paid subscribers. Upgrade your account" and on the pricing page it has "Email client support (via IMAP/SMTP)" starting on the Mail Plus plan.
Although I've got the same problem with Bridge on MacOS it just stopped doing anything for no particular reason, it'll be worth contacting support to find out why (they're still working on mine)
RTFM - accounts only validated upon receipt of a Hemsworth in full working order and with original cables
Double edged sword that one, he seems really invested in what he created so it'll probably be OK. Then again, sometimes the bus driver doesn't see the red light
I've always really known in one way or another, but it was when I was about 12 I was able to be "oh yeah gay" which was certainly solidified when a friend wanted to experiment and I was a bit too enthusiastic to humour him. I had a lot of other things going on at the time where being gay was the least of my problems so never really had the struggle of self-acceptance.
(edit read a bit further down and removed a sentence as it didn't apply) People do also realise much later in life too, so the only real advice I can give is don't really try to slap a label on it to start off with, figure out what really vibes with you first and then figure out the definition of it later
Yeah the one thing I found with them (purelymail) is you really have to keep an eye on the billing usage, there will be a point where advanced pricing is better for you but if you dip below that you need to swap back to the basic pricing
I was under the impression Proton Bridge was available for any paid subscription. I've had a Visionary plan for years, so I can't say for certain since I get a lot of perks as a result.
The bridge is a bit tetchy, sometimes it works, sometimes it don't, and can never really say why. You also need to have the bridge app installed on the machine you're using it on (eg won't work on mobile or any unsupported platform). The tl;dr for this is if you need to rely on SMTP / IMAP ProtonMail isn't ideal.
I do actually have Proton Bridge running on my Yunohost machine, the CLI version was annoying to set up but that is the only install I haven't had too much issue with (yet). The thing to be aware with that Proton is super anal about the email address you're sending from, if it isn't an alias (or a hosted domain) on the account it isn't going to have any of that.
In terms of self-hosting though, I have a Wildduck install running. The software isn't really production ready, but for a personal home server does the job super well. You can also get it to auto-encrypt incoming emails with PGP (similar to Proton) and it saves emails you send via SMTP to your Sent item folder automatically.
My advice for self-hosting though, is use a SMTP Smarthost from a professional provider (I've always used Duocircle and Spamhero), Google and Microsoft make self-hosting a nightmare even if you are fully compliant, but these operators give you a better chance of getting through.
Because I'm lazy, I also use MXGuardDog to filter incoming email, I rack up free credits by placing a link on my website so I've never once paid for the service in cold hard cash. But realistically you could skip this part.
I'd plan out what machines do what according to their drive sizes rather than finding out the hard way that one of them only has a few GB spare that I used as a mail server. Certainly document what I have going, if my machine Francesco explodes one day it'll take months to remember what was actually running on it.
I'd also not risk years of data on a single SSD drive that just stopped functioning for my "NAS" (its not really a true NAS just a shitty drive with a terabyte) and have a better backup plan
