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.

Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.

Wired is so much better.

What's the ping? Max time to reach any device?

I use it to get to my basement of a multi story dwelling I rent in. From 3rd floor to basement is such a lifesaver

ping times have gone from 2ms and up to under 1ms, but thats how I got into them was to get internet from ground floor to second floor

Nice!

It did feel like you were saying that removing 1 powerline made your whole network faster, but really it's only the devices that were connected to that powerline. Powerline really is a last resort for me, paying for high ping latency is what is is..
