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.

Idk, I'd have a pretty good return if I my mom didn't want to use Netflix still. Even after paying for indexers, Usenet providers, storage and electricity. I'm using a discarded laptop with a HDD dock tho, which is plenty for my needs (mostly 1080p movies with 4k for my absolute favorites or new releases which I can then downgrade or delete though I haven't had the need to do so yet)
There is still the topic of power usage, data usage, time spent doing maintenance, and accounting for failing hardware and hardware upgrades.
Thankfully I have a pretty low wattage setup and an unmetered full duplex fiber optic connection. Won't disagree on the hardware (all my homies hate Seagate) and maintenance. I don't do a lot, but it sure can derail half my day.
