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.

they had me until

windows home server

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's clearly the old Microsoft. Current Microsoft would be "Microsoft windows azure home server 365 copilot+Server cloud" (yes it says server twice)

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but current MS Azure+buzzwerds actually works.

WHS was as very, very bad layer on top of NTFS.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah. I justo wanted to make a joke. Srry

They had me u til "your dad installs it"

Your server isn't working today.

This is because Microsoft wants you to finish setting up your PC that has been running for ten years.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

WHS wasn't working then either.

It was an awful piece of software, you were better off just pirating Windows Server 2003r2 Standard and using the software raid5 over the WHS flaky overlay system.

I wonder if there's some technical benefit to it. Being familiar with Windows is one benefit ofc but not a technical one.

Man with a hammer rule definitely applies to SAs. If your skills are in Micro$oft then every problem is best solved with MS, even when it isn't.

I tried to come up with a gender-neutral way of saying 'man with a hammer' and failed. Please make some suggestions for me.

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A person with a hammer? Why does it need to be difficult :P

Or just go with direct address

"If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."

Yup, that's the form I'm familiar with. Most idioms avoid gender entirely.

"When you're MC Hammer, every problem is a nail"

[–] pirat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Everytime is hammer time
