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.

I'm not buying hardware that doesn't suit my needs as an investment hoping maybe it eventually will.
This is one of the hardest earned lessons I’ve ever learned, and I’ve had to learn it over and over again. I think it’s mostly stuck now but I still make the same mistake from time to time.
Yeah, thats the reason why we‘re in this capitalist hellhole. Perfection comes from billionaire money, nothing else.
What are you talking about perfection?
Buying something that doesn't function is never rational.
You were misrepresenting things. Your needs have nothing to do with things not being functional. Something can be perfectly functional and not meet someones needs. Nobody said you should buy it as an investment.
My interpretation was by far the most generous to your position, because it's the only way it's coherent.
If people bought [this hardware that doesn't actually provide anything anyone can realistically use at a reasonable price] it might eventually not suck. That's treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.
You’re entitled to your opinion, I guess.
Thats misrepresenting reality and making assumptions while clearly showing lack of expertise
Thats completely arbitrary. If a price is reasonable or not depends on many factors. Obvious oversymplification.
This shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. Small companies and open source projects depend on people buying their products instead of cheaper, sometimes better performing products of big conglomerates for other reasons than price alone.
Value is absolutely not arbitrary.
"Reasonable" means comparable with x86/ARM at the same performance level. Anything more is, by definition, not capable of being reasonably priced.
You're again advocating for an imaginary investment in a bad product.
Yeah no. Forget it. We‘re not speaking the same language.
