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.

Myself, I'm a fan of local LLM / self hosted ML.... but if you ever needed a clarion call that a hard pivot is coming (soon) for online/ cloud based AI...Altman et al are making some concerning mouth noises (to say nothing of broader concerns with OAI, Anthropic etc).

Right now, I'm sketching out a plan where my Raspberry Pi (always on, 2-3w) uses a magic packet to wake up my modest AI server (Lenovo P330 with Tesla P4) if/when needed (Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B); no point in chugging down 80-100w, 24/7 for no good reason.

If the trend continues the direction it appears to be (increasing costs, environmental impacts etc) then I'd feel a lot better hosting my own as port of first call and replacing simpler tasks with more traditional programs. YMMV.

The only limitation I know is WOL doesn't work after a power outage, because the switch and RPI doesn't know where to find the target machine

maybe, but the pi does not need to know that, only the mac address and the interface. the switch doesn't need to know either because it's a broadcast frame, it's forwarded to all cables. the problem sometimes is that if you configure WOL from linux, the network adapter will probably forget on power cycling that it is supposed to react to magic packets. I think not all hardware is susceptible to that, but even then it could help to configure WOL in the BIOS

Maybe something else going on then, but ive never gotten WOL to work after a blackout when there's two switches between sender and receiver. After powering up the receiver once, WOL works again

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

that's probably the BIOS only loading the configuration on the first boot. you could try enabling fast boot or disabling the right energy saving settings in the BIOS and see if that fixes it.
