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.

Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.

Wired is so much better.

The number of people that are anti wires, but also want WiFi signals everywhere is too high.

Powerline is so leaky it is basically wireless with wires. 14x3 is not a transmission line, but it does effectively turn your whole home electrical system into both a transmitting and receiving antenna that just happens to talk to it's self. It's an engineering nightmare.

I use them to extend my network from my 3rd story apartment to my garage. Wireless doesn't reach, pulling a cable would be very difficult and expensive.

Yeah there are use cases

I want wires everywhere I don't care fuck wireless signals give me wired headphones, controllers, networks

Me and my homies hate antennas

Got bad news for you buddy.

Wires ARE antennas.

i like the idea of wired headphones, but in practice they're kind of annoying
