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.

Let's go for a walk in the park - they just cleaned the algae tanks!

Isn’t spirulina more effective for capturing carbon than trees? And also you can eat it in the way you don’t normally eat trees? Trees are great and all but why do you want me to be angry about algae?

Gooooood Morning Night City!

Algae in water doesn't burn like trees

Checkmate commies !

It sounded cool a couple of years ago, but it was first installed in 2021 and I'm yet to hear of it really going anywhere.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

Problem with VPFs is irrigation throttling, or lack thereof. Most people are cool, but I've heard of people hosting exotics which just max out downstream 24/7. Plus everyone has root access which gets abused frequently.

Not liquid enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Elon musk going into the tree business I see.

Why is this on the self hosting community

sigh take your upvote

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I can kinda see that, yeah. 👍

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The water is hosting algae

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

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