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.

i think its kinda silly
i see workstation graveyards in closets and garages that would make perfectly good white box servers.. yeah theyre retail shit that mostly lack the 'always on' resilience of server level hardware, but a dedicated box for a server process is always better than a shared user/server environment.
youd prolly be hard pressed to find any old shitty retail box that you couldnt slap a nix variant.
keep good backups.. in my experience, hardware dies in this order: spinning drive, power supply, motherboard
I remember someone in this community selfhosting on an android phone, I think samsung s20
