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.

Agreed. Gigabit stuff is cheap, anything north of that is a bit... niche. And it's totally fine if parts of your network are still at gigabit if you ever switch to faster, you just won't get full speed on those parts.
So yeah, start by making sure everything can do gigabit at least, and hold off until you need something faster. Chances are, prices and energy use for higher end equipment will come down over time, so by the time you need it, it'll be a lot cheaper.
If you're going to run cable though, get the higher end stuff. You don't necessarily need fiber (that's a pain), but cables capable of 10gbit are relatively inexpensive and you should probably do that instead of sticking w/ 1gbit lines. However, if fiber isn't a giant pain, maybe that's worth it to you.
