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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Coils & curves?

From my viewpoint it looks like balance and counter balance πŸ™‚

Are those all balanced, pivoting around a power outlet?

It's actually a plug in power outlet that plugs into a dual outlet box. It's a snug fit so it's able to hold all the extra weight surprisingly well.

It's hard to see but I made a hook with the cable wrap holding the Pi5 and it hooks onto the cable wrap that goes the top of the quad outlet. That top cable wrap won't slide down because I have two USB cables holding it in position. I designed it so I can easily detach it in case I need to do anything with the Pi5 or it's hard drive.

I tried really hard to balance the Pi5 but the grey ethernet cable has too much weight so that's the best I could do. I think I did a pretty good job all things considered :)
