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.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

It doesn't really need to be tedious... My notes are jokey, full of profanity, sarcasm, and self deprecating humor
for context, these are my personal notes for my personal machine. These will never be shared with anyone else, and nobody else has to try to read them or make sense of them (well... sometimes I make chatbot read my notes in order to train it on whatever I need help troubleshooting)
Before I started keeping a hot_log.txt file every single install of Linux I ever ran was a unique snowflake and no two systems were ever the same
So worse than tedium.
I meant tedious, as in, it takes some effort to pause, write the shit down, and then proceed on. I can only speak for myself, but when I'm in the zone doing something, excitement can overshadow note taking. So, I have to make myself document line by line. But, yeah I have entries like 'Before proceeding, make sure you do _____ , dumbass!' LOL
