Selfhosted

56958 readers

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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Go spam elsewhere

This is absolutely the wrong community. Seeing as you have given zero information as to where you are from no useful information can be given.

If this is real, I honestly do empathize with your situation. Try some local community outreach programs like food banks, child services, etc. There is no reason to be embarrassed by being down on your luck. Anyone who has lived on this planet for any length of time has been there too. I am sorry that I cannot help with your situation further, and I certainly hope you get things back on track for you and your family. Best wishes.

ETA: I am not aware of any such forums here on Lemmy that could help.

In this case you'd be better off on Facebook and Reddit looking for local services that can help you.
