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.

Last June, fans of Comedy Central – the long-running channel behind beloved programmes such as The Daily Show and South Park – received an unwelcome surprise. Paramount Global, Comedy Central’s parent company, unceremoniously purged the vast repository of video content on the channel’s website, which dated back to the late 1990s.

Get a 2tb or 3tb external USB drive. They are pretty cheap.

What's a safe place to buy storage online? I've seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.

I get mine on Amazon. But I know a lot of people don’t like Amazon.

I've used ebay before many times, just be diligent. The problem with these bazaar style marketplaces is much less accountability and LOTS of fakes.

Not the best prices, but it seems like Best Buy, B&H Photo, Costco, stuff like that, might be the better "straight from the source" retailers.

I don't trust Newegg anymore. Used to like them but they've been chasing the wannabe-Amazon rabbit and have been caught doing shady crap to customers.
