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.

Another note, usually wired net connection is better for server usage, but afaik none of the compute sticks have an ethernet connector. But you can buy usb network cards which can give you better stability even on an usb2 port.

I have less issues with wireless devices at work than wired, but it could come down to our sd-access network being designed by literal monkeys.

But I think that in 2023 people should pick layer1 based on the use-case and not old sayings.
