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.

Has anyone bought from here before? Looking to upgrade my NAS drives.

the drives I’ve purchased from them in the past have been great considering they’re used server parts.

That really should be in the title...

I dunno, I'm one of those people who never stops using a drive until it breaks, and they never really break anymore. Oldest in my current PC is probably 20 year old HDD.

So yeah, these probably are fine and will still last a long time. ~~But for like $20 more you don't have to worry about losing the data on it.~~

Edit:

Apparently prices just haven't changed in half a decade or longer? I knew prices went up for COVID, assumed they went back down at some point.

A new 12 TB drive is literally 300€ now.

I don't think it was EVER 100€ for a 12TB, certainly not helium filled. Prices during covid went up, but not even near 3x for hard dives.
