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.

I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it "wasn't compatible" with Verizon's service. I still have it (because I'm terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?

Might be able to get a few bucks for it on craigslist or fb if it's not too old

I may end up going this route if I can't turn it into a wifi extender. Having some coverage on the other side of the house would be amazing.

Mesh/range extenders really suck terribly, and that cannot be overstated. If you do any streaming or gaming or video calls, don't do that on mesh APs or range extenders. Especially if you live near other people.

Why is this? I got some free with my ISP and just have them set up so i can manually plug things like my TV or Xbox in and not have them using their wifi.
