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

At the same time, I watched Reddit's self-hosted community – whose members are well-known for writing off projects at the first sight of emojis – blindly dive headfirst into Hypermind, a new peer-to-peer app for discovering and counting other users also deploying the app (yes, you read that correctly).
I had the same reaction.
The High-Availability Solution to a Problem That Doesn't Exist.
"You need a service that:
Enter Hypermind."
They sure have a sense of humor though :)
The home assistant integration does it for me.
Do you want your living room lights to turn red when the swarm grows? Of course you do.
Sure. I mean, it apparently does exactly what they describe. Maybe someone will fork it into something useful. Seems to me it could be a basis for something to be built on. Damn site better than anything I've managed to code, so I can't knock it too much. LOL
Not going to lie, it's kinda hilarious when this stuff happens.
I honestly think it's hilarious. I'm conflicted to announce that i'm kind of not proud but kind of to be a node :)
Like it says in the README: "Why did you make this? The homelab must grow. ¯(ツ)/¯"
5 costs of self-hosting by Ty Sherback is good but I had the opposite experience re: electricity costs... it's been much cheaper than cloud hosting for me
My server and associated peripherals run me $30+/- monthly. I recently did some adjustments with the help of tlp and a few other apps to see if I could slim that down a few dollars. I'm waiting until the end of the month to do some comparisons. All in all tho, $30 is probably well below what most people would spend on any other hobby.
The list is getting bigger and bigger. That is a good thing. But it now gets harder and harder to explore. More details on the list would help a lot.
I just wanted to make a joke that it is enough to put reitti one time into the update section. Then I saw that you also wrote a highlight piece about it ☺️
Thank you very much for that. And also thank you in general for the effort you put in the newsletter. I eagerly waiting every month for it.
I eagerly waiting every month for it.
Same here, I already know it's coming every friday afternoon, but I'm still happy when it pops up in my RSS reader. That's how I know the work day is over.
Oh and it's weekly btw :)
God damit, yes it is weekly. I have a 6y old daughter, time has no meaning to me anymore :D
