We are 300k strong! reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- a_sugarcane · 2023-12-16 13:19 May we reach a million soon. r/selfhosted rocks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- che-miko · 2023-12-16 13:34 We are many. We are strong. Oh, this upgrade take too long. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- poisonborz · 2023-12-16 14:50 It would be great if this topic would take on a more political aspect. Rather than just some people hosting services for themselves, selfhosting should gain momentum as a force of people taking control of their data, privacy back from corporations, not depending them on when they add or remove features, and keeping networks and standards open. Such goals overlap in many ways with the open software movement, but it has unique aspects as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- icyhotonmynuts · 2023-12-16 15:07 Cool beans ---------------------------------------------------------------------- a_sugarcane · 2023-12-16 15:11 For this to happen someone needs to simplify: - Domain buying and configuration - Tunneling framework Hosting has become simpler recently but it further needs to simplified. Self hosting should be possible within 5-6 clicks. That's when what you are saying will be possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mulletarian · 2023-12-16 15:16 Subreddits don't necessarily become better with more subscribers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- poisonborz · 2023-12-16 15:17 Yes, but it's a catch 22, for that to happen we would need more developers on this and for that, more exposure for this cause. I'm not agreeing with domain buying though. Most people should build a network of trusted devices rather than exposing it through a domain - somebody doing that would need to know enough already that the current way of domain ownership wouldn't be a problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simplixt · 2023-12-16 15:53 Yes, too many repetitive questions every day again and agian and many questions that would be better asked in the related subreddit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jims-Garage · 2023-12-16 16:17 That's awesome 😎 amazing to see this community grow 👏 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lonely_Archer_2974 · 2023-12-16 16:33 You mean like what Tailscale is doing to simplify connectivity? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AdmiralPoopyDiaper · 2023-12-16 17:10 Wow. So, the strange thing is, it’s hard to get me to agree with anything (especially online) that starts with “this should be _more_ political” But like, kinda yeah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lethalox · 2023-12-16 17:52 We need a wiki for common questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- verylittlegravitaas · 2023-12-16 18:03 Shows more interest in the space. More mindshare more services and support! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kurosaki1990 · 2023-12-16 18:10 Thanks to Jellyfin who made me know the real value of selfhosting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Commandcracker8 · 2023-12-16 18:31 Wish awards still existed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Remarkable-Ball-9150 · 2023-12-16 18:34 Heard many people went to "lemmy" is that true? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheap_Tumbleweed · 2023-12-16 19:32 Tailscale isn't exactly open source, open networking or an open standard. Kinda goes against the idea of selfhosting if you ask me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trash-Alt-Account · 2023-12-16 19:47 I don't think "more political" is generally a bad thing on its own, but sometimes it ends up being synonymous with "more partisan/more controversial/more conflict-ridden". I think the idea of making something "more political" is generally positive in a context like this where it basically means "people should take time to think about why we value selfhosting and think about how politics ties into that in order to vote in a direction that leads to better protections for consumers". and if you substitute "selfhosting" with something else and some words in that last bit to accurately describe the positive implications of politicizing the substituted topic, then I think that's something lots of people can agree on, if that makes sense ---------------------------------------------------------------------- madmari · 2023-12-16 19:55 Excellent. And a few months ago power hungry mods wanted to destroy this extremely helpful resource. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Loopsmith · 2023-12-16 20:02 Looking at 'selfhosted' on lemmy.world, which I think is the largest one, it sits at about 33.4k subscribers. I did create an account there, and do try to use it, but it has nowhere near the activity of reddit, just in general. I understand the frustration people have with Reddit, and was hit by the 3rd party app thing too, but in my opinion not enough people left to lemmy for me to switch over full time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Offbeatalchemy · 2023-12-16 21:27 That's mostly because i can still use boost/sync to doomscroll on my phone and RES on the desktop. I'd be on Lemmy instead if that wasn't the case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tikkii · 2023-12-16 21:47 I have subscribed a few days ago and looking at all the possible projects ahead of me, I'm not sure if I'm happy with the decision ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- maddog402 · 2023-12-16 22:12 90% of people would completely skip the wiki and ask the common question anyway ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lethalox · 2023-12-16 22:13 That is your opinion. And do you have a better solution? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Forsaken_Chemical_27 · 2023-12-16 22:19 This is experience, and if we find a way to do it better we can bottle it and make millions! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- maddog402 · 2023-12-16 22:33 You are correct. This is an opinion based off experience with supporting software for end users. It's also the same behavior of most people skipping the instruction manual on a new product they just bought. No I don't have a better solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jwu_gatech · 2023-12-16 22:59 It's called a self-hosted Doc-GPT. Now about those millions... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Forsaken_Chemical_27 · 2023-12-16 23:08 You get millions when you find away to make people use it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Krylar214 · 2023-12-16 23:12 What's a wiki? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jwu_gatech · 2023-12-16 23:13 Unskippable YouTube ads, but I need a small loan of a million dollars ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Haliphone · 2023-12-16 23:34 I'd totally abuse a wiki if there was one. Would at least allow me to understand what I should be searching for. Though perhaps the community would lose some of its glow. I love when someone asks a question and I learn soemthing new (which isn't hard) when they get their question answered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ReachingForVega · 2023-12-17 01:42 I try to focus my post energy and convo there. Still browse here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DayTooth48 · 2023-12-17 03:01 This is not opinion it is facts. Take a look at the home networking subreddits. Every second post is a what cable is this or can i use this cable for internet post. People dont read or search before asking ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ron_dus · 2023-12-17 04:21 I came here for the complimentary screw drivers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1amTimon · 2023-12-17 23:05 May be integrate with chat gpt or other AI and let bot answer automatically? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bondoli · 2023-12-18 02:22 Is jellyfin that much better? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BatmanTDK · 2023-12-19 06:14 A never ending supply of misconfigured docker hosts, media servers, open resolvers, and smtp relays to use! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Critical-Rhubarb-730 · 2023-12-20 15:04 tadaa.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- souamtech · 2023-12-20 17:36 People don't even google their problems before asking questions. They 💯 won't read a wiki. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kingb0b · 2023-12-22 16:36 Ew, no.
