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.

That home assistant post is amazing. My wife is cracking herself up over the comments.

I agree with what the commenters say, but it's ridiculous that all the OPs normal responses are downvoted to hell. ok people tell them what they think, but after that they should just scroll further and forget about it.

but it also reminds me of some other reddit posts where I have seen such a weird votes pattern. most top level comments heavily upvoted, plenty responses to those heavily downvoted. at some posts it was obvious vote manipulation, and others called it out too. maybe that is what's happening there too?
but just consider this: post has a score of 500, 91% of voters upvoted it. how is it possible then that with few exceptions all OP responses are so heavily downvoted.
