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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi all, since ya'll are self hosters, I'm sure you all deal with all sorts of different pieces of hardware, accessories, peripherals, and what not; just wondering if you could please share your favorite, solid, "go to" brands for overall things you need for your setup such as cables (all types), adapters, dongles, power accessories, hubs & docks, flash drives, you name it! I'm sure it varies depending on exactly what type of equipment you're looking for but just looking for overall good brands to stick with for such things. I obviously know the main ones like Anker, Cable Matters, Ugreen, maybe Belkin, Idk. Would love to hear your recommendations! Thank you

I have been trying to replace all my devices that use external power bricks with usb C cables and GAN power adapters. You can get barrel adapters for most things and it lets me clear up a lot of space. Anker and Ugreen have been my picks in the past but they seem to have been increasing their prices considerably and I have had pretty good luck with a company called Baseus.

That's an interesting approach, but I don't think I really have any equipment that would need an actual power brick lol who knows? I only have a laptop, cell phone, printer, and a few streaming devices on my network. None are very power intensive really. Unless Im totally misunderstanding your approach?

Your laptop doesn't have a power brick?

I traveled last week with my personal and work laptops and phones and only had to bring a single wall wart and usb-c cable to charge everything. That's my primary use case.

Nope, I just use a usb cable and charger that are powerful enough to charge my laptop
