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:

  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.

I knew someone who threw away a laptop because the screen broke.

They see junk

I see a new home server with built in ups, just rip off the screen.

Literally my first server lol

The "built-in UPS" is gonna degrade real quick, based on my experience

I think it depends by the manufacturer and how they programmed the charger, I got two HP ProBook that almost exclusively got used when plugged in and after a decade they can still last over two hours, instead my Thinkpad t42 with the same usage pattern now just barely holds enough for shutting down the system
