Yeah I think of it the other way round: I couldn’t get myself to organize them without combining it with a nice selfhosted tool. The goal is getting my stuff organized, the cost is doing work, which includes setting up a system. I can cheat on the cost a little by including a fun project in the cost part.
I do think there’s a hidden cost in selfhosting though and it’s maintenance. Fortunately, there’s selfhosted tools that help with that too :-)
Isn’t that the goal? If you have an old drawer full of unorganized stuff, implementing a selfhosted management tool is getting an organizer and thinking about how to fill it, but you still have to sort your stuff in.
The only selfhosted thing where I really have to re-organize is my documents in paperless but I’m so glad to finally have it all organized and searchable instead of some hot mess of an inconsistent folder structure.
I used to do this. Didn’t know the tutorial but used this part of the documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Installation
I switched to have an unencrypted proxmox partition and have all VM disks on an encrypted partition, mostly to have reboot working.
My NAS ist almost exclusively backups. Just installed TrueNAS to have a GUI for ZFS and NFS.
The reason is easy: one likes the fediverse, wants to contribute for it and wants to enabled people to use it even if they can’t afford to pay for it.
On a smaller scale, that’s not much of a problem. I’m glad I can host for some people who don’t have money at all. Some of the others donate and some don’t and that’s fine as well.
“Stranglehold” lmao. They invented the threadiverse and they are welcoming other implementations like mbin and piefed. That’s the opposite of a stranglehold.
Go cancel yourself
Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat
The latter, it’s all 3D printed rackmounts
They’re great, super neat small computers and available used for little money.
I can open the website. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Are you in some app?
