Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I pay for a lot of things that I don't have to, for many reasons. Paying for piracy tho, that's something I'm sort of unwilling to do.
You don't pay for a VPN, HDDs, Usenet, etc?
No VPN because where I live it's unnecessary, I pay for HDDs but you would with Plex as well, aside from that I use my server for other stuff as well, and I don't use Usenet, so yeah.
Some people will pay for a vpn, for exactly that purpose. And it’s worth it because you don’t have to use 30 different streaming services and 30 different apps to find what you want to watch. And it’s all hosted in the same format.
And that's not even mentioning usenet.. Paying for piracy in many cases can just be overall better
Do people still use Usenet?
Yes, quite a lot do. It is just a faster, more secure, and more reliable experience compared to torrenting
Is there like a quick guide for this?
I know how this sounds with where we are currently.. but reddit's /r/usenet has alot of good guides and round ups. That's what I used back in the day, before the exodus that brought me here a couple years ago
