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.

Is there a machine that looks like this? Complete with glowing curved top?

This is an ad, so the computer pictured is not fictional, but it's the HP Mediasmart ex470 (I think this joke book was even bundled with the first units)

They used really shitty processors so it's ewaste, maybe it can be acquired for cheap and repurposed with some mini itx board

A ghost raw s1 with a custom 3d printed top would be close

You could gut an Alexa. It'd be a massive improvement over the shit inside to begin with.
