Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I don’t think Azure or Google Cloud are much better. It would be better to self host.

Very little of the competition in any sector is actually better. It just depends what flavour of enshittification you prefer.

I self host nextcloud, jellyfin and set of servarrs. Next project is probably searx. Unfortunately there aren't really options in at least a few categories.

Yeah but self hosting at scale isn’t remotely easy.

I’m talking thousands of servers; as someone who ran infra in a bare metal data center, it’s got its own set of issues. I hate google cloud and aws, but they do beat running your own hardware.
