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.

0? Nobody is "team windows" it's just a necessary thing that exists. Talk to windows SMEs, they aren't even brand loyal. I administered Windows servers for years and I am quite indifferent to it.

There's a team apple, team Linux, but no team windows I promise. Unless you are that one person that bashed their head against something in a very special way. Have you ever seen someone apply a windows decal to their car or water bottle for example?

Holy shit now I have to stick windows on my car!

Wait it already has those..

Thank God my laptop doesn't.

I'm a Linux sysadmin who had to deploy a few server 2022's at work recently for a special circumstance. Was tasked with making a gold image and couldn't find much to strip from the install out of box. Just print stuff I turned off I think. I have to say I am quite impressed with it half a year in, I never even have to reboot them. They are a breeze to admin. Don't bash it till you try it.

I have tried it tbh. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, I was just making a joke.

It's just much more resource heavy than those headless Linux servers. Maybe windows server can be headless too, but I haven't looked into it much
