Ok, back to meme school for you
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yeah, the format is that she repeats the second panel on the fourth panel, with more question marks and concern. This version is almost like explaining the joke here.
Is there a community for gently abused memes that I can post this to?

He said gently bro
Lmao you beat me to pointing that out, he totally butchered the template
This is my favorite Star Trek episode, too. Ruined.
Isn't selfhosted started by the same dude that started lemmy.world? Meaning it really is selfhosted? π€

Stop pointing shit out and grab your bean fork, we're rioting!
Actually an instance dedicated to self hosted stuff would be great. We could have communities specifically for things like home lab, media hosting (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby), unRAID, TrueNAS, shit posting, hardware discussions, general conversations, etc.
This would reduce the strain on lemmy.world and give us all a dedicated home for more niche topics without posts getting buried
Something like selfhost.edu/c/jellyfin or self.host is a great name too, if I was in the position to do it I would haha
Considering how overloaded lemmy.world is right now, a pi in someone's basement would be better, and besides, centralization is bad. Federation is what prevents lemmy from becoming the next Twitter.
Literally just left lemmy.world because of how brutally slow it's been
My favorite part is when it finally becomes somewhat less overloaded, and my instance gets flooded with a bunch of posts from there filling the entirety of my front page, and the second page...
In terms of an optimal load spread, it's best if the lemmiverse is split into multiple equally sized instances. If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesn't actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way. The only thing you get is a guarantee that your instance won't suddenly go down.
Suddenly going down seems to be a constant in my self hosted services though...
ayo gurl lemme go down on your stack
Bow chicka bow wow
If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesnβt actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way.
That's not completely true. Yeah, it still loads another server a bit, but the server-to-server federation traffic is much more lightweight than the client-to-server traffic that would be involved with you having an account on that server and accessing it that way.
But yeah, multiple, equally-sized communities on different instances is the ideal situation. The only sticky part right now is FOMO because you'd have to constantly watch for new SelfHosted communities and join them. Hopefully some frontend tools come along soon to make joining/managing multiple communities like that more streamlined.
Yes, ideally youβd want to have a few large communties on each instance and not all topics with a single userbase on one. This not only decreases the load but also prevents scenarios in which a single admin starts to capsule their instance with a large userbase away from the federation.
I wanna self-host my own instance so I have more control over my data.
I'm going to self host my own instance so I can have a cool username
What kind of "control" do you mean? Your posts/comments get replicated across all the other instances. You can't really "guarantee" a delete, since the other instances might just ignore your request for delete.
By control, I mean I can back up my data and ensure my comments, subscribed communities, messages, etc are all available to me no matter what, I don't have to rely on some external third-party managing it for me.
Yes, but we're currently evolving into a situation where everything is centralized around Lemmy.world
Well, did you self host this meme?
I laughed but I dunno about you guys but I don't publicly self host anything. If you can't auth via ssh or VPN then you're not accessing a damn thing from my home network. I've got multiple routers that I could set up some isolation with but it's just too close to home.
Inside the home even.
Can't get hacked if all your services are down because you can't get those cocksuckingmothershitbitchingassbastard routing tables right π€―
Do you trust yourself to sustain this considerable commitment?
This meme template NEVER gets old, lmao.... Anakin's face always gets me
Iβm hosting one right now. Lemmyunchained.net
But in will have to Limit Users at some point.
I dont Think people properly understand they can be on any server. And join multiple communities. And it all Show up in their Feed. They donβt Need to worry about βwhich community has the Most Usersβ
Yes they can be on any instance, but I'm starting to get worried about the number of communities that are on Lemmy.world
Shameless self-insert, if you want a new instance, try mine! https://lemmings.world, it's a general-purpose instance and everyone's welcome!
There is always: https://slrpnk.net/c/selfhosting 100% certified self-hosted from free-ranging servers π
