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.

for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Haha yeah

Hides my car always pushing 10k miles

I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I'd be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).

Haven't looked into it but do shops offer lube analysis services? Yeah you could send out your own sample to a lab, having it as a shop service would be way more accessible to people.

Though, in my experience, getting people to commit can be a pain, lots of "yeah I know we have a long p-f interval and it's super noticeable before it functionally fails, but it's not that much effort so I'm doing needless maintenance anyhow just in case", which end of the day you do you.
