@jwildeboer >#DigitalSovereignty stack>Open Source only.>Linux.Sorry, that kernel isn't even source-available - it's proprietary software.A free replacement is GNU Linux-libre.>Red Hat Enterprise LinuxThat's proprietary software - although there are plenty of free GNU/Linux-libre distros.>- Garage for S3 object storageProprietary as it's written in Rust.>- Jellyfin for entertainmentThat's proprietary software as it's written in C#.The free replacement that existed before. is vlc or mpv>- Immich for photosDoesn't seem to be free, as it's developed with proprietary software on github, with a link to discord, with a proprietary restriction scheme.

@jwildeboer @homelab How do you decide what's worth self-hosting?There are privacy and sovereignty benefits to self-hosting, but also some time and complexity costs.

@ieugen @jwildeboer @homelab How has maintenance of Nextcloud been?After hosting email professionally for ~15 years, I have no desire to returning to hosting email again. Like 90% email sent is received is spam and big email players distrust small email senders, especially from a residential IP. Let us know how that goes if you get there.

@markstos My email server is running since almost 20 years now (on a VPS at OVH) and things have actually become a lot *better* in the past 10 years. Thanks to SPF, DKIM, DMARC almost no delivery problems, simple rDNS checks keeps 95+% of the spam away. @ieugen @homelab

@jwildeboer one very important thing to note is that you've been running this for 20 years on probably the same IP address/block, so it has a very good reputation. Taking any old vps within a possibly ruined ip block will be a major cause for headache and delivery issues.@markstos @ieugen @homelab

@jan In those 20 years it has been moved several times to different IP addresses. For the past 6 years it has been OVH. @markstos @ieugen @homelab
