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.

How's your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?

I'm currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that's when I found a potential replacement but I'll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.

I'm thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there's a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won't have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I'm hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I'd choose as well.

A recent t480 purchase may replace my second workstation tower, which I think is about to become my most powerful server in the cluster....

So nothing new hosting-wise, but that tower I can shove the spare 12tb and 4tb drives I have and net myself another 30ish TB's of usable storage, more once I replace the 12TBs in one of my NAS boxes with 18tb or more.

Speaking of which - where the hell do I track prices these days? diskprices.com seems to be a mess of inaccurate pricing and shucks.top can no longer track even half of what they used to. What a mess.

PCPartPicker is your best bet (hint: sort by price/gb), but they don't really track shucking prices

Honestly with what Seagate has been doing with their externals, shucking is probably best avoided at this point.

That said, yeah, seems like and its not a perfect option either, seems like I'll have to use multiple sources and just keep an eye out with a daily check or something.
