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.

I have them installed in 2 houses, one 120V and one 127V. Electrical panels in NA are pretty simple (although not as simple as the UK) and have the 2 phases split on the 2 sides of the box. The breakers for 120V or 127V circuits on the right are on one phase and those on the left are on the other.

The panel wiring wasn't something I thought about when I put the power line adapters in and they were plug and play in both locations. I'm guessing some brands work much better than others and these Netgear adapters have worked flawlessly. Or maybe I got lucky.

That said, I'd have Cat6 cables installed if it didn't require tearing apart the walls and ceiling.
