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.

WD has a recycling deal where you can get 15% off your total purchase, once per quarter, by sending in any drive, working or not, to their recycling partner. I just did this with an old Maxtor 60gb 3.5” PATA drive. The shipping is free and it gets processed really quickly (e.g. it was actually delivered today and i already received -and-used- the discount code.
Note that theyre pretty clear/strict about no stacking of codes/discounts.
That’s good to know omg
Cool! I have some old drives laying around because I didn't know how to recycle them.
A good smack with a hammer then trash like any other electronic.
or
Disassemble the drive, crack/scratch the platters, trash like any other electronic
The magnets in HDDs are some of the strongest magnets you can find. I rip those out when I can, but I'm a packrat
Fyi, i -did- dissasemble the drive, remove the magnets from the head assembly, and scratched tf out of both sides of the platters. :)
Also, re the price, with the discount i paid the same for the drive i ordered that i paid for the same size/model last BF, although this one had twice the cache. :) :)
That's not recycling.
In Germany we don't really have the concept of landfills.
Here usually everything is recycled to some degree.
That's pretty awesome!
Okay, that's pretty sweet. Imma have to look into that, i know a guy who just retired a home server with like 10+ old HDDs
