When a service is free, the incentives aren’t neutral.

Email data is increasingly used to train AI systems — often without meaningful user control or transparency.

Self-hosted alternatives exist for a reason:
ownership, privacy, and long-term control over your data.

#SelfHosting #Privacy #FOSS #DataSovereignty #Decentralization

Alt...

Your “free” email isn’t free. Many providers use message data to train AI — often with limited user control. Self-hosting changes the model: You own the data. You set the rules.

Five euros a month for a Hetzner VPS. Install Docker, pull OpenClaw, done. Sounds like a no-brainer.

Three weeks later I was at my terminal at 11:30 PM because a kernel update broke Docker.

I wrote an honest comparison of self-hosting vs managed OpenClaw hosting. Spoiler: for 80% of people, €19/mo managed beats €5/mo DIY.

In a different respect, it should offer commentary on why people do not want self-hosters able to join the mail game.

But when you see that they're not even self-hosting, but leveraging the infrastructure of the big guys that decline to take mail from the self-hosters... who's really the problem here?

#selfhosting

A trivial example about the toxicity of today's Internet is the set of scammers sending out "we want to buy your business" mails. They're all using the same recipe, and burn a new domain and put forth a fake VP for each email.

I'm up to 24 blocked domains in six months.

In each case, the domains pass all of the easy filtering criteria: They have SPF. And, they either use Google or Outlook to do their dirty work.

The costs to self-host scamming are too low.

Dear #fediverse my home #matrix server is going offline soon. Is self hosting viable ? I'm thinking my family and friends I would trust on such a thing would be like 12-16 people maybe. I am self hosting alot of different things for personal use but I hear it can be a bit resource intensive. Is this something I should toss on Hetzner or something then? Trying to figure it out. Might host a mastodon alongside itis that a horrible idea? Open to thoughts on the matter #selfhosting The server has 64g of ram and 2-300g of space I'm willing to allocate to it.

I had one of those middle age wake-up calls the other day that really hit home some hard truths.

My NAS had gone read only, and foolishly I restarted it, and then it wouldn't mount at all.

This NAS contains 25 years of photos and documents, and while there are other backups, they weren't as fresh as they should be.

The hard truth was that one thing that is baked into the surveillance cloud gives and that is more challenging for #selfhosting is offsite backup.

If you self-host services on the internet, you may have seen waves of crawlers hammering your websites without mercy.

To annoy them and protect my services from DDoS, I decided to setup an iocaine instance, along with NSoE... And it worked... Too well.

Recently, they started flooding my VPS so much it started choking.
If you followed me here on Fedi, you saw my journey to find a way to relieve my server.

En el trabajo nos picamos un chart custom para #helm que nos permite desplegar prácticamente casi cualquier servicio en #kubernetes de forma genérica.

He itentado replicar lo mismo en mi repo privado de #selfhosting a la hora de desplegar los servicios que tengo con #podman usando quadlets, mediante un rol de Ansible y creo que la cosa se me ha ido de madre.

Al final, un chart de Helm no es más que una serie de gotemplates que admiten cualquier cosa siempre que el recurso que vayas a desplegar en Kubernetes quede correctamente formado cuando se hace render de la template. Es fácil omitir bloques de código en los manifests de Kubernetes resultantes porque gotemplate permite pasar valores de formas extremadamente arbitrarias.

Pero los módulos de Ansible no funcionan así. Normalmente requieren que les pases unos atributos muy concretos. Dejar los atributos opcionales con sus valores por defecto, pero a la vez dar la posibilidad de cambiarlos a voluntad hace que el rol de Ansible quede bastante inflado.

Puede que al final lo que acabe haciendo sea dejar los ficheros de quadlet en un repo con instrucciones muy detalladas sobre cómo configurar los servicios con ellos, pero perdería una parte muy grande de la automatización que he conseguido con Ansible.

“If you’ve ever attempted to run too many containers on the same machine, you may have encountered failed deployments because multiple services tried accessing the same port. Fortunately, DCM sidesteps that issue by checking for port conflicts in your multi-container Compose files. Going back to our network stack example, Nginx and Pi-hole both use ports 80 and 443 on the host. If you try to deploy these services with the same Compose files, DCM detects the port conflicts and assigns different numbers to the second container.”

With over 40 to 50 containers running on one of my servers I constantly run into that ports clashing issue (when ports are exposed to the host machine). This tool does look quite interesting as well as how it handles volume mappings.

It also makes me realise how Portainer really needs to take a few steps forward with regard to better stack editing.

I’m going to be looking a bit deeper into this app. It looks like it will work in tandem with Portainer too. Basically DCM will help you create a clean and functional docker-compose file to paste into Portainer.

Fun note...when copying a nix file to replicate most of a bunch of changes between non flaked (that's a transition I will re-look at down the road) servers....don't overwrite the UUID to the external ssd...oops 🤦‍♂️ #nixos #selfhosting

Github being down so much lately is making me glad I put Gitea on my homelab.

I made the full switch into Linux in 2023 since I started following YouTubers like Luke Smith and Mental Outlaw to name a few and then got into the rabbit hole of self-hosting on a budget therefore it is safe for me to say that I am somewhat experienced in this practice so I will walk you in this post on my setups over those 3 years, what I learned and what are my plans for the future.

I've just found service called #infomaniak It's Swiss based cloud/office suite provider. Based on their website they look like affordable and solid option.

I'm quite surprised that I haven't heard about them before. Anyone had used their services and could share some experience? I would consider migrating my email to them from #zoho, maybe even use their services as #hetzner replacement

scrcpy is a free and open-source tool that lets you mirror and control your Android device from your computer over USB or local network.

No cloud, no accounts, no ads , and nothing installed permanently on your phone. A powerful alternative to proprietary tools like AirDroid or Vysor.

So, geschafft! Die gehorteten Fotos und Videos der letzten 24 Jahre sind auf dem NAS. Das Ergebnis hat die Frau überzeugt. Jetzt kommt der eigentliche Lasttest... 😁

Live location is very sensitive data, but #selfhosting the server with TLS and basic authentication gives me more privacy than the big tech cloud. And it only needed reading a bit of MDN and making a basic #Docker image based on #NodeJS

Just received an email from my mail server administrator. They sent me a link to change my password because it's 'insecure'.

My mail admin is so efficient...

...hey, wait a minute... I AM my mail administrator! 🤦‍♂️

Okee, mijn meesterplan om spam te gaan bestrijden en inzetten op een schone mailbox:

1) Domeinen registeren ✅
2) Superconfiguratie maken ⏳
3) Geen spam meer

Ik zie jullie volgend jaar weer!

Zuur en ironisch dat wie nu aan de slag wil gaan met #selfhosting — en b.v. een NAS of home servertje wil gaan opzetten — te maken krijgt met bi-zar hoge prijzen van gebeugen en opslag. "Bedankt" AI bubbel… 😤

Alt...

Een lijngrafiek waarin de prijs van intern geheugen te zien is. De prijs start rond september 2022 rond €480 en is een jaar later nogmaar € 130. Dit blijft zo tot september 2025 waarin de prijs enorm stijgt naar wel € 530.

It's a long shot but since migrating my VPS and domain hosting the awesome #FediBuzz is stuck on 'Waiting for relay's approval'. Existing relays for tags seem fine. I've tried the usual maintenance like clearing my server cache and even removing all existing relays but it's still stuck. Anyone else had a similar issue?

Kinda stuck as that's my fire-hose of content for my #selfhosted server.

C'est parti pour une soirée/nuit de #selfHosting avec un bon démarrage : installation de #Ubuntu sur le nouveau SSD du #m720q .

L'idée, c'est ensuite d'activer l'accès à distance, pour être peinard, et installer via docker/portainer/dockhand tout ce dont j'ai besoin.

hurray, 2000 char limit! Thankyou @stefano
