Wenn man sich größtenteils nur mit US-Alternativen, digitaler Unabhängigkeit, SelfHosting usw. auseinandersetzt und dann auf Menschen trifft, die den ganzen Sinn dahinter nicht verstehen (wollen)... das ist schon schwer. Spätestens wenn dann aber die wiederholte Frage auftaucht, warum man nicht bei "renommierten Anbietern" (Facebook und Co.) bleibt und sämtliche Erklärungsversuche als "Nerdkram" oder "Spinnerei" abgestempelt werden bin ich ja thematisch sowas von raus... 😂 Aber: Ich versuche niemanden, zu seinem Glück zu überreden! Deswegen: Aufklärung ist weiterhin wichtig, viele Menschen haben immer noch nicht verstanden, warum der heutige DiDay so wichtig ist. Noch wichtiger: Man muss nicht auf den nächsten DiDay warten, sondern kann jederzeit loslegen! Interessierte sollten in den für sie vertretbaren Schritten und Tempo ihren Wunsch nach Alternativen umsetzen können, man kann dabei beratend unterstützen, sollte aber niemals jemanden dazu überreden. #DiDay, #SelfHosting, #WegVonBigTech

Any recommendation for #SelfHosting a web app, useable on mobile as well as desktop for two people to collaborate making notes with basic WYSIWYG text formatting? The purpose is to help us maintain notes for #renovation and #refurbishment of our home. We're mostly apart so I think it would help being able to edit a list of documents. Say one per room, and for things like lighting, heating, #HomeAutomation etc. Anyone done this? #HomeLab #HomeAssistant

I decided to run updates. It turns out, #Proxmox had like 60+ updates. Clearly, I need to do this more often. #selfhosting #homelab

Many moons ago, owncloud split from #nextcloud and I went with Nextcloud. Before that happened, though, apparently I created an account on the owncloud discourse forums. Recently they floated the idea of shutting down the discourse and moving to GitHub discussions. That’s right: a product firmly rooted in #selfhosting is thinking about using the cloud instead. They asked for comments and I apparently had just enough reputation (read: >0) to be invited to comment. One of the questions they asked is effectively “what are we giving up?” My reply was “availability”. #GitHub availability is so bad they don’t even share the numbers any more. It’s something like 87.8% for the last 90 days. To put that in context: if a web site can run at 99.0% availability for 11 months out of the year, then shut down and turn off entirely for the month of February, they would have 91.4% uptime for the year (by my reckoning). Anybody running in their garage can do better than that! So how is moving to GitHub anything but a step down? And an irrational step at that.

#RukiiNet was down for 26 hours because five cities lost the internet due to cable damage: https://www.granadahoy.com/granada/averia-caida-internet-provocada-obras-metro-area-metropolitana-granada-solucionada_0_2004026651.html #SelfHosting

#RukiiNet was down for 9 hours 45 minutes today because we installed a new #ElectricCar charger, which cut the power momentarily which apparently killed my UPS. It took me a while to notice. #SelfHosting

The next #LightningTalk at #OggCamp was about Self-hosted Observability, using various #Grafana projects and #Prometheus etc. Alan was using some #YAML files to provision the services via docker etc. I didn't quite understand it all, but there's a few extra Grafana products I should check out - Alloy and Mimir. https://github.com/alanionita/observability-stack #selfhosting #metrics

Just finished setting up a new automation for my digital garden! There's something magical about watching code tend to your creative spaces while you sip tea. ☕✨ #DigitalGardening #SelfHosting #CreativeTech

It’s so satisfying when a new container finally spins up on the first try! 🐳 Every time I set something up in the home lab, I learn a new little trick or two. What’s one tech 'win' you’ve had this week? ✨ #SelfHosting #Linux #HomeLab

Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive are convenient services that millions use daily. But behind that convenience lies a cost that few acknowledge: your files are stored on servers owned by corporations that have full access to your data. They analyze your documents, your photos, your spreadsheets—for product improvement, targeted advertising, or simply because they can. If you store sensitive information—business correspondence, medical records, legal documents, financial statements—the risk is even greater. Google can freeze your account at any moment, and with it, access to everything stored there. This has already happened to thousands of users worldwide. Nextcloud is the answer. It is open-source software for building your own cloud server on your own hardware. Your files on your hardware, under your control, without any third parties. Nextcloud has evolved far beyond simple file storage: File sync across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android with versioning and sharing Online document editing through Collabora or OnlyOffice Calendar and contacts via CalDAV/CardDAV Video conferencing and chat Photo backup with face and object recognition Email client, notes, kanban boards, forms, and hundreds more apps through the app store Hardware requirements are surprisingly modest. For 1-5 users, a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM and an SSD works perfectly. An old laptop from 2015 or later is another excellent option. A VPS for a few dollars per month is ideal for those who prefer not to keep hardware at home. Installation via Docker Compose or Nextcloud AIO takes 15-30 minutes. Desktop and mobile clients provide automatic sync like Dropbox. Calendar and contacts sync without Google or Apple. Self-hosted means self-responsibility: strong passwords, two-factor authentication, SSL certificates, regular updates, backups, and firewall configuration. But the reward is priceless: certainty that your data is truly yours. Nextcloud in 2026 is mature, stable, and feature-rich. It does not fall short of Google Drive in functionality. In privacy and control, it surpasses it by orders of magnitude. Start with Nextcloud AIO on an inexpensive VPS. In one or two hours, you will have a fully functional cloud storage system open only to you. This is one of the most important steps toward digital independence. https://newsgroup.site/nextcloud-self-hosted-cloud-storage-guide-2026/ #Nextcloud #Privacy #SelfHosting #CloudStorage #OpenSource #DigitalSovereignty #GoogleDrive #Dropbox

RE: https://social.vir.group/@newsgroup/116424473027103568 The moral of the story is that #selfhosting is way better and more #fun! ☺️🤓🥳 #n8n #automation #selfhost #selfhosted

Ok #homeautomation and #selfhosting folks, I am looking for opinions (boosts welcome). I have this swimming pool controller that I built off a raspberry pi. It sits outside in a waterproof enclosure year-round. Temperatures range from -10ºC to 50ºC over the course of a year. It's running Raspbian or some Debian-flavored Linux. I've tried spinning rust hard drives and SSDs. They die within 12-18 months and I'm on my third failure. I have a couple ideas. Netboot: I could have it boot via PXE or TFTP or something and have no permanent storage outside.SD flash cards. I could just run it off a micro-SD, and keep a few handy so when they burn out, I just swap it in. I can use NFS for permanent storage, so the loss of the SD doesn't matter.Some kind of storage that is more resilient to this kind of temperature and humidity swing? Thoughts on storage for this outdoor project? I'm asking other questions later in the thread.

The current waterproof box I use is a 300 x 300 x 180mm version of this. It works well, so I don't need a different one, but I'm open to suggestions. #homeautomation #selfhosting
