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.

Just from the summary, I’m nearly certain this would be better as a web article.

If you want it as an article, here are the detailed show notes: https://discuss.james.network/public/d/48-episode-8-shownotes-self-hosted-tooling-dead-tech-papercrafting

Not possible for me to know if it works if people don't listen. No pressure though and thanks for the feedback. My intention is to make it worth the listen, haha.

I don't mean to put your efforts down, but I'm so confused about what this is. I listened a bit, and it seems to be just you musing about your experience with certain things. I think people show up to listen to podcasts for an objective viewpoint about X topic, and not just somebody moving from topic to topic and talking about their wants and needs about a certain thing.

I'm also very confused on what "Linux Prepper" means. What are you preparing for?

[–] kiol@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Good to know. I've actually been using the tools I discuss on the show, as opposed to only naming off whatever is the newest thing without having actually used it. Good to know if that isn't clear.

Linux Prepper is related to doing everything myself with fully open tooling as much as possible. I've never seen another show do the same, so I thought it would be fun to try. Self-hosting everything, and using foss tooling for everything all the time, might not be practical, but it is a fun challenge. That is the intention.
