Strit

I also found out something interesting. My desktop uses about 1/3 of the power one of my freezers do. :)

I don't know unraid, so can't comment on that, but I do have Nextcloud which has worked fine for me for years.

What one-piece software solution do you have as an alternative to Nextcloud, that is still open source and self-hostable?

I listen to the Self-hosted Show and the Home Assistant podcasts.

A broken device won't be running the default OS anyway.

The point of this is to take all the working hardware that is currently running a soon unsupported version of Windows, which can't be updated to a supported one because the hardware does not support the newer version, and make it run supported software, so the user does not discard the hardware.

So you are actually asking for a self-hosted email server, that has an Android client and supports push. 😆

My latest campaign of about 5 years wrapped up just late last year too. It's a great feeling when people have done what they feel they needed to do and you sunset a campaign.

This year I have started as a player in a new campaign. It's weird not having to prep for a couple of hours before each session.

A reason I self-host stuff is privacy. When I host my data it's my data. It's not owned and kept by a billion dollar company somewhere, that is willing to sell it to make a quick buck.

So it's my way of making sure that my data really is my data and that it is only shared with those I want to share it with. Some applications require a server component to achive this (eg Immich), so that's why I self-host those.

Indeed. I missed that. Thanks.

Frontend is open source, but the server backend does not seem to be.

So not sure why this is in Self-hosted, as you can't really selfhost this platform. Or I'm missing some repo that sets up the backend...

That's really sad to see. I hope the courts dismiss the cease & desist because it's different name, and lack of popularity of the trademarked name.

software that connects to Chinese servers

You can set up your own server, so it doesn't have too.

only place to get Rustdesk is from the developers.

Shouldn't it be like this though. Rustdesk is in the AUR, which downloads the source from Github, like a lot of other software packages does. You can also build it yourself.

The developers behind it are effectively faceless

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk has contributors listed, so not exactly what I would call "faceless". Sure, there is not really any real names on it, but having real names on Open Source projects in github is not the norm.

Please elaborate on this. What risks are introduces?
