I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

All of those should be fine, the main caveats w/ Linux are:

  • anti-cheat games generally don't work - there are exceptions, and this is a limitation by the developer, not Linux
  • Windows-only software can be iffy - e.g. photoshop and whatnot
  • using an NTFS drive on Linux can have surprises - don't mount your game lib on Linux, just redownload

Blender works perfectly fine, gaming on Steam and Heroic works well, emulators work well, and while I don't know anything about Linux music production, I know there are software options available.

Anyway, I recommend buying a separate disk and trying Linux out. That way you don't touch your current Windows install while messing w/ stuff.

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.
