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:

  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.

homeless people find sitting in the shade of trees to be comfortable, and the city whole point of urban design is to make them uncomfortable and to suffer

It's not an either/or thing, the tank in the picture is literally sitting under a tree

Does this count too?

I already posted this on [email protected]. .

I'm purposefully growing duckweed on my balcony.
I'm doing [email protected], and by doing that, I have lots of waste water with still good fertilizer in it.

Duckweed is one of the fastest growing, nutrient densest and least demanding plant out there, and you can just scoop it out with a strainer.

It's exponentially growing and if you don't wanna eat it, it makes great organic fertiliser or animal feed with lots of protein and micronutients!

I think it’s probably cheaper in the long run to self host a tree instead, unless you live in an apartment with absolutely no green space. But I’d rather get a VPF and host a tree there if I had too

Not liquid enough.

Elon musk going into the tree business I see.

Why is this on the self hosting community

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

self hosting is anti-capitalist, so is being against urban brutalism.

I can kinda see that, yeah. 👍

Looks like one of them fish tank PC cases that are apparently a thing.

The most dystopian thing I've seen... Fuck, idk, it's all pretty dystopian these days, I've lost count

Yeah, those are going to last at -40F/-40C nights we often experience where I live. Nor do I see them being able to add any cool relief from their shade on a hot day.

That said, it is hard to grow healthy trees in the poisoned soils of a big city. They tend to struggle and be sickly when choked by concrete and asphalt.

Oh thats why the box below it provides heating and cooling. Its powered by a gasoline generator.
