Nerd wanted!

My hosting solution just sent me the "updated" invoice for next year and they are out of their fucking corporate minds. So rather than giving them more money, I was thinking it would be nice to pay some self-hosting hacker type (furry or not) and support weird and small rather than large and capitalist.

I would need the following:
- the fairly lightweight website orsom.eu reliably online (all html/CSS with a tiny bit of JavaScript, quite low traffic, okay just using FileZilla for access)
- a couple of email addresses with 5-10 GB of storage (a webmail client would be a plus for emergencies, but just using Thunderbird and K9 is fine)
- EU based (preferably) and better if you can send me an invoice

Do you already have something similar for yourself and don't mind me tagging along for a few years until I have the time to set up self-hosting on my own? Let me know!

Boosts appreciated ❤️

I'm wondering whether it might soon/imminently be possible (required?) for me to set up a second 4g router here and my little lenovo minipc/server and have another go at hosting masto and potentially a few small sites.

i ran my own gts instance from the van last summer and whilst it mostly worked, the bandwidth it used put a real dent in my available bw for gaming particularly. power was alao a bit of an issue but i have a fair bit more solar now and will hopefully expand that further still in time.

adding another unlimited data pack isnt cheap but neither is vps hosting, and if there's price hikes coming i might quickly be better off on my own bare metal 🤔

We need more stories like this being shared in the open. You can criticise some parts of the decisions here, but that's not the point. Someone tried and shared. That's the point.

Steal this idea: an app that combines YouTube and @peertube into a single YouTube-like interface that treats content from both as equals. Where duplicates exist, PeerTube gets priority by default. Throw in some options for patronizing creators on PeerTube, and it could motivate them to migrate to and stay on decentralized platforms.

Even better if self-hosted with Invidious on the backend.

Does anyone know why this was excluded from the Wayback Machine? Go try to add it and see.

I'm going to save a copy locally because this is really scary stuff.

I already avoid the subscription/streaming economy as much as I can. I strive for digital autonomy. I #selfhost everything I can. I avoid LLMs like the plague. I avoid plastic like the plague. (Yes, I avoid the plague like the plague too. #maskup )

I try not to participate in the surveillance economy. All my appliances are smart enough to mind their own business. We've been railroaded into smartphones like everyone else, but we run a privacy-centric OS on older phones. We avoid processed foods. We burn clean energy, even if we can't afford solar yet - our town makes carbon-free electricity available at a fairly steep cost.

And yet, none of this matters if we don't all move together on it.

This feels incredibly important for people to read and understand.

curious to hear what people are self hosting these days #selfhost #selfhosting #homelab

Observation: Google is currently the biggest spreader of phishing mails, Cloudflare hides/hosts the phishing sites these mails link to. That's the simple truth on my mailserver since a few weeks. And yes, I manually report every single one of them to no visible avail.

Recently discovered @yunohost for #selfhost servers. Blimey. So simple, easy to configure and customisable. Loving it.
