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:

  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.

selfhosted ebook library

Is that what we call hard drives, now? :P

I have two android tablets, one 7" to read small books, and one 13" to read US Letter format books, I took the cheapest ones I found, disabled Google Play and installed F-Droid to install FOSS readers, and it just works perfectly. You really don't need anything specific to just read text, you just want to make sure that you can display an entire page on your screen in a size you're comfortable reading, otherwise PDFs becomes quickly insufferable.

@Anafroj @daninet

I got an e-ink device because it's easier on the eyes and battery easily lasts a week when I go camping.

If it were possible to get an e-ink display, I would definitely use one for programming.

@feitingen Huh, I stand corrected.
