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.

I always love it when some massive piece of web infrastructure goes down but most websites I use are self-hosted so the only real effect is I see lots of news stories that cloudflare is down.

As far as major outages, I can only think of around 10 going back 5 years. Sure there have been minor hiccups and glitches, but gosh, that's life on the internet.

It does feel like the major outages are growing closer together.

I want to blame plugging AI where it doesn't belong, but I suppose that putting everything into the same couple of server closets could be the primary root cause.

Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we're all just old enough for "every 6 months" to feel like every 5 mins

To clarify, by "issues" I mean "system stoppages not precipitated by me fucking with something." I screw up my own system way more often than that lol

Same! But the ones I cause don't count.

I don't know how old you are brother, but it feels like I'm in one of those Star Trek warps where all the stars are just whizzing by.
