A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You could switch to a company that isn't openly hostile to its customers.
I think a good question for newcool1230@lemm.ee is why Oracle. If they don’t have a reason to be using it, this is a great suggestion.
I've tried a few others but Oracle was the only one that kinda worked for me. I'm open to switching to other providers if you have any suggestions. @SheeEttin@lemmy.world @thesmokingman@programming.dev
What about Oracle made it work for you over others? Have you looked at the minors like Linode or DigitalOcean?
Difficult to beat a free offer
You can get free offers from most places. If you juggle accounts and don’t do a ton, you can use AWS for free perpetually without dealing with this odd idle fandango.
