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.

I am SO pissed off about this AI hardware grab causing global shortages, im about to revert to using fucking tape drives for storage and core rope memory as RAM.

Its by design, I swear. They don't have anywhere to run any of this gear, its all piling up somewhere.

Either that or it doesn't exist and what we're seeing is price gouging based on hypothetical demand based off of "letters of intent" that aren't actually worth the paper they're written on.

I think its the latter.

If people refuse to pay the prices and use their products then eventually they will run out of money and credit to do so.
