Selfhosted
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.

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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.
Doesnt calyxos also work on fairphone
"work" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when talking about a Fairphone. Worst phone I ever owned with quite some margin.
That isn't really true especially with Calyx OS
Ditch Google
Step 1: Send them money
Used phones: exist
Users who constantly repost this same comment: "doesn't look like anything to me."
Used pixel actually limit a lot the choice. I've not dived into de-googled phone yet but from what I understood postmarketOS seems like the used/old phone OS
Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This thing is close to perfect, new phones are scam.
Where did you get it?
Not OP, but Swappa.com is an excellent website for buying used tech at a good price.
Kleinanzeigen (Germany)
Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx
LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones
I'm running lineage os on a Motorola moto g7 power (2019) Android 15 runs fine on a 6 year old phone.
Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.
As bad as Google is, they're lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.
Really? What's your favorite custom ROM for modern iPhones?
I've never investigated for iPhones but would be curious
I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.
There's a reason I'm very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It's a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.
I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out
