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.

By the way, concerning the loose surge protector: Good thing you replaced that. If you see something like that, and it's mains voltage, always replace it ASAP. Not because it doesn't look nice or the RasPi gets unhooked... But because it's a proper fire hazard. A whole house can burn down if you have a loose mains connection and that somehow leads to electrical sparks.

I wouldn't trust a computer donated by anyone let alone for self-hosting personal data on it. No thanks!

[–] kiol@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Haha, that is why it is with friends and family for people who want that. Definitely not for everyone. Cheers.
