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:

  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.

I read the title as "Logitech will bring new smart home buttons on October 15” and I thought "hmm new proprietary iot shit, I wonder when they're going to brick them"

Who needs any of this digital feces? Not want, but need? I don't have a single problem that can be solved with technology these days.

Sad news, I’m still impressed that they didn’t kill their Harmony servers though, fingers crossed !

I don't have one, but maybe sue for source code?

That's why I never went serious into home automation. Because any affordable system is based on cloud shit beyond my control. Cloud goes belly-up, and thousands invested ins such a system are suddenly scrap? Not with me.

You didn't look very hard.

Cheap zigbee stuff exists everywhere. And zigbee is an open standard, so if it works, it will work until the equipment breaks.

That’s always how this rug pull works. Build a dependency than when it’s. It making you rich, kill everything that has that dependency.

I wonder if these could just be flashed with something that uses MQTT.
