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.

Thought this might be helpful as a lot of these mini PCs are hitting the used market.

Just use eBay directly

Also a lot of these listings are junk. The want $100 for like $50 worth of hardware. I personally am waiting for the market to get a little more sane

I found using ebay to be quite slow, and it was hard digging through the listing to find if it had wifi, bluetooth etc.

I've found some good deals e.g this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256581174595 for $50.

It isn't bad I just think it is important to keep in mind many if the listings are deliberately misleading.

Side note I wonder who will buy that listing. It has jumped in popularity thanks to lemmy

Yes, maybe I should add this somewhere: 'This is an automated tool. Please read the listing and confirm the specifications before ordering.'
