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'm not going to network anything. It needs to be flashed or whatever to reset it. Can it be used as a storage device, or maybe an emulator box? I'm clueless over here. Any advice and suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I've got a wyse 3040 with Ubuntu 22.04 lts running 24/7 just running pihole to block network adverts.

Then a wyse 5070 with a 256gb m2 ssd using windows 10 for my plex server and transferring files from my seedbox

Both work great with zero issues. Both in the frontroom and as no fans in them totally silent.

I was tempted to use one for emulation but don't really need anything my current rasp pi 4 can do.
