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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Prices are rising across Netflix, Spotify, and their peers, and more people are quietly returning to the oldest playbook of the internet: piracy. Is the golden age of streaming over?

I can't hear you over my 10TB storage disk of movies.

Rookie.

Edit: You gotta pump up those numbers.

pretty sure that's meant in a light hearted fashion

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Might be.
But I'd rather use a meme phrase in that case like "Those are (absolute) rookie numbers".

Not taken in bad blood but also not really funny (to me).

Imagine not having a double digit bay NAS with triple digit Tebibytes of space.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well...I preferred double parity for my 4-bay NAS :p

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh nowadays you can get 26tb drives pretty affordably, so a 4 bay NAS could be getting you 50TiB now.

Of course most people don't need all that though.... including me honestly but hey, that data isn't going to collect itself.

Bought it about 1 year ago from overtime work hours (as compensation).
So there were budgetary constraints. Plus I was looking for drives that were quiet and wouldnt rattle my brain out (it runs in the same room I sleep in).
So far it's quiet enough to sleep while in light use but I had to schedule stuff while I am usually at work to not disturb my rest too much.

Edit:

No, no. You do need that ;D
Personally I have 4x16TB but I have allocated only 46% (12.96/28.07TiB) for use.
And that's currently enough for me.

Hopefully it's all U2 nvme drives and not ancient sata drives. Those are for either dinosaurs or shudders poor people

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah. I obviously will pay for an all-flash storage array at home.
Bro I am not american and not unbelievable wealthy.

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Americans can't even afford meals. They need coupons, lol.
