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.

I thought data caps for home internet were a thing of the past…

I’ve somewhat recently moved back to a very rural area of the Midwest. Small town. No stop lights. Biggest businesses other than the bars are Casey’s, Subway, and Dollar General.

And we have one ISP (not counting DSL) — Mediacom. When we first signed up, I had to go with the second service tier. But not because of speeds, but so I could have a reasonable 1 TB/mo data cap.

Lucky me, they increased the cap to 1.5 TB. 🙄

I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.

In Switzerland you get unlimited 10 Gbit/s for 50 bucks.

I hate you, congrats!

In Canada we have to give our firstborn to a telecommunication monopoly for somewhat OK internet.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

Somewhat OK internet on the infrastructure our taxes paid for and the government handed over to Bell and Rogers, but don't worry, they'll stop all the other evil corporations from coming in and giving us cheaper internet.

WTF? 25gbps? Dang we really do have shitty internet in the States.

And /48 IPv6 subnet included! As it should be!

[–] kristoff@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A /48 is quite overkill for a home customer. Do you have 65536 LANs at home? Here in Belgium, we get a /56.

They're just preparing for one day when you have your own personal swarm of nano bots

Is it actually 10Gbit/s or just marketing? And how's the latency?

[–] Verdorrterpunkt@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

The latency for 1Gbit/s is amazing, and i seem to get that speed. But i really don't have the hardware for more anyways.

[–] Truaxe@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but those are metric bits so they are a little bit smaller.

[–] 0xCAFE@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

And for 80$/month you can get 25Gbps!

🔫 hand over the internet bill
