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.

I doubt they have the know how to clear that server, just saying.

They’ve helpfully labeled which ones they factory reset. I wonder what’s on those non-reset machines 🤔

100% sure it's the proof of the 2020 election fraud

Can't believe MyPillow is defending Biden like this

The servers aren't even identified in the listing as R610s (or E01S, they misread that as "EOLS"), so who knows...

I sure hope some enterprising news outlet is smart enough to bid on these.

Mostly a lot of monitors and tablets, be interesting to get some cheap gear but wouldn't want to give the guy a dime.

True but there’s some server racks and servers as well. I hate the guy but paying pennies on the dollar for some server gear might be worth it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Best sleep I've ever had after buying my pillow servers. I use arch btw.

Is there an equivilant of this site for the North East/New York Area?

If you live by a major university, they likely have property disposition where you can pick up slightly older equipment, sometimes for super cheap.

A lot of them now just work through third-party houses like govdeals.com.
