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:
-
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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

But if everyone else is down too, you don't look so bad π§
One of our client support people told an angry client to open a Jira with urgent priority and we'd get right on it.
... the client support person knew full well that Jira was down too : D
At least, I think they knew. Either way, not shit we could do about it for that particular region until AWS fixed things.
No one ever got fired for buying IBM.
Yes but now it is nobody ever got fired for buying Cisco.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. The state government of Queensland, Australia just lifted a 12 year ban on IBM getting government contracts after a colossal fuck up.
It's an old joke from back when IBM was the dominant player in IT infrastructure. The idea was that IBM was such a known quantity that even non-technical executives knew what it was and knew that other companies also used IBM equipment. If you decide to buy from a lesser known vendor and something breaks, you might be blamed for going off the beaten track and fired (regardless of where the fault actually lay), whereas if you bought IBM gear and it broke, it was simply considered the cost of doing business, so buying IBM became a CYA tactic for sysadmins even if it went against their better technical judgement. AWS is the modern IBM.
IBM produced Canadian Phoenix Pay system has entered the chat with a record 0 firings.
That's basically why we use it at work. I hate it, but that's how things are.
Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.
If anything, I'd say that's the single best case for buying IBM - if you're incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you'll be OK.
