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.

No, I use the old desktops for that.

Old laptops usually seem to go to other people:

  • My first one I gave one to a girl who's house burned down in my street.
  • The second one went to my ex who is on really hard financial times and the old Macbook she got from another good soul died on her.
  • The third one I traded in with my mom who really wanted a light one, and in exchange she contributed to...
  • My fourth one that had more power for compiling things in my studies. This one I still have and use occasionally.

Unless her house burned down due to the battery in the old laptop...

I too am using an old desktop, but it is also functioning as my NAS, which a laptop would struggle with
