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.

Hey there! I built an open-source tool called Snapify, which is designed to make screen recording sharing a breeze, just like Loom, but with the added benefit of being completely open-source.

Let's say you quickly want to get a message across, there are three main ways:

  1. Get into a meeting
  2. Write a wall of text
  3. Share a quick recording

Recordings will look like this (new link): https://snapify.it/share/clk3mpgnu0003mj0f042964wg

I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas on how I may be able to improve the app. Is anyone here using Loom?

Nice job! But Prisma.. Prisma... Why do people still use prisma?

I prefer query builders like slonik, or just raw. Prisma does crazy stuff with joins which turns what should be a simple query into 300 queries. Its a well documented problem in their issue tracker. I've not worked on a single repo that didn't eventually move away from it with growth, including in a professional capacity. On top of that, you put in an ORM and everyone ends up using the same DB anyway, so you lose out on potential optimizations.

I think you mention a great point "eventually move away from it with growth".

I lose out on potential optimizations, but benefit in speed and simplicity

The same argument goes for rust vs typescript explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4fZtSKlcE

What speed do you get from prisma?
