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:

  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.

Looks breddy gucci


holy mother of pimples, 39% blocked sites on your pihole? Where is it being used, on your phone?

Is that a lot? It's usually between 30-50%. I've set it up as my routers DNS server so it blocks ads across my entire network. Everything that connects to my router get pihole ad blocking

Is that a lot?

It definitely is -- considering that my rpi 4 with pihole has an average of 10% to 15%.

A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.

No, it's only high in comparison to your experience. Others may have way more.

Not that crazy. I think I’m sitting at 23.5%?

Alexas phone home… a lot. My TV does the same. As do many random devices in my network.

I have IoT devices that would love to phone home but I’m controlling them locally so have disallowed them connecting to the internet.

It adds up quickly.
