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.

How are you finding the AooStar R7? I have had my eye on it for a while but not much talk about it outside of YouTube reviews

They've been rock solid so far. Even through the initial sync from my old file server (pretty intensive network and disk usage for about 5 days straight). I've only been running them for about 3 months so far though, so time will tell. They are like most mini pc manufacturers with funny names though. I doubt I'll ever get any sort of bios/uefi update
