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 (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You're going to think I am joking but I am not. Multiple people have sworn to me that this works for a common failure mode of HDD drives and I've literally never heard someone say they tried it and it failed. I've never tried it. Buyer beware. Don't blame me if you fuck up your drive / your computer it's connected to / anything else even worse by doing this:
This only works for specific mechanical failures, and I'd say about 25% of the time. It works because metal shrinks when cold, and this can sort of let a drive limp along for a short period of time to get small amounts of data off.
Drive clicking is the drive arm malfunctioning, and I wouldn't expect the freezer trick to do much if it's a messed up actuator or something. You already know the drive is bad though, so why not.
Yup this was the first thing I tried. Nothing changed.
