Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I managed not to screw anything up, but I was handed a HDD from a friend of mine who is a burgeoning photographer. The drive has crashed, and I am afraid that, unless he coughs up several thousands of $$ for a professional recovery service, I am not going to be able to resurrect his drive. I've told him for at least a year to spend the money and get a nas with a Raid set up. So, over Christmas, he did purchase one. But.....too little too late for the portable drive. I always hate delivering bad news, but it is a hard lesson to learn. Usually, it just takes one time, and it's back up city from there on out. Fortunately he has partial backups on SD chips, and files spread from FB to family phones he can recoup some of his losses from.
You try the freezer trick? If not, put it in a plastic bag in the freezer for a few hours. The cold can make some things work a bit better and maybe for long enough to recover what you need. Doesn't always work but it's cheaper than professional data recovery.
Actually, as a last resort, I vacuum packed in a freezer bag, and stuck it in this afternoon.
