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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

The simple solution is to just... stop using video so much. Video is riddled with problems as a long term human record, doesn't scale, increases perpetually in requirements without actually improving quality of CONTENT, isn't indexable or searchable, isn't easily translated into multiple languages, not as easily shared, not as easy to back up...
Again, it's a human problem. If humans accepted text and images again for the majority of information transfer, the problem would go away.
I wish more people were like us on this matter, but they don't appear to be. People are using video for everything, regardless of how bad it is. One of the most popular genre of short form video is some well manicured person pointing up at some text that appears in the top of a video, set to terrible music. 20-100 words at most.
It's depressing how much history is going to be lost. Entire movements have been launched on videos that are now private or removed for copyright violations, and now they are gone forever to future historians. Even looking for information or knowledge now... 80% of your results are YouTube videos. All of that knowledge will disappear forever, and it doesn't even take a cataclysmic event - YouTube's search is so actively hostile that even if you know exactly the name of the video you're looking for, you will NOT find it unless it happens to already be algorithm aligned. YouTube is BY FAR a bigger danger to the throughline of history than ANY social media platform.
I've minimized my short form video consumption and reliance on Youtube for entertainment for this very reason. Podcasts are great to listen to when I'm doing chores
For someone who subbed to self hosted almost as soon as they joined Lemmy I am really conservative about what I host. I have tried to keep all media in jellyfin to keep things sinple. But recently I expanded to audiobookshelf and wow!
Ripped some of my audiobooks and added some podcasts and now we have a family library and everyone has their own progress and settings working across devices. I am still spending a lot of time consuming media but I think it's a much healthier balance.
