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.

Yeah until it stopped working. The heat is the problem. It lasts for like 6 months of 24/7 usage.

I'm having this issue as well. I have a laptop in there. It stopped working because of overheating. It worked fine again, and now that I'm out of town for a month, it decided to die. I need to physically turn it on, so at this point, I'm thinking of replacing that laptop from 2010.

Might happen if the fan stopped due to collecting dust and the heatsink needed to repasted. Also in linux you can install TLP or laptop-mode-tools to make it more power-efficient. I've been using laptops for servers for years this way.

Swapping out my laptop running Proxmox for two HP Elite desks for exactly this reason.
