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.

Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

What does biweekly mean to you? Twice a week, or once every two weeks? If it's the latter, I prefer to use fortnightly, since it's not ambiguous.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, nobody other than Brits use fortnightly anymore.

[–] tofuwabohu@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mean every other week. I wasn't aware of the other interpretation, but I think in combination with "The Sunday thread" it's unambiguous?

I have never heard fortnightly, but then I'm not a native speaker. Is that commonly used?

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I have always heard bi-weekly be every other week, and semi-weekly be twice a week

I think in combination with "The Sunday thread" it's unambiguous?

Perhaps, though I guess it could also be that there is "The Sunday thread" and "The Wednesday thread".

As for whether fortnightly is common or not, I think it is, but the other commenter suggests that only the Brits use the term. Fairly certain I've heard that from an Aussie friend though, could be that US Americans don't use the term.

Perhaps semimonthly is the most unambiguous term? That's what Mariam-Webster seems to suggest.

Semi monthly sounds like "monthly, or not" to me. Not sure about the alternatives I've seen so far

True, didn't think it that way. I don't know what would be best, English is such a wierd language.
