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.

It does.
But I mean you asked

I mean does anyone go for power line adapters as their first choice when straight up ethernet is an option?

And when someone "no, because..." and you keep replying with inane responses that sound like arguments but don't actually say anything.

A recreation of the thread:
OP: power line adapters gave me network problems
A: nobody prefers power adapters
B: right, but it's still the best option for some
A: people would prefer Ethernet
B: yes, but that's not feasible for some
A: why are you replying if you agree?
B: ask yourself that. Do we agree or not?
