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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why do you need to have "scamming people" as a business model instead of selling those machines as what they are?
They're born for office use and are still perfect for office use. They're not and they're never been gaming machines. You're trying to deceive those people that they just know "Intel i7 is good", but they don't know that a 1st gen Intel i7 is worse than a 10th gen Intel i3. They'll immediately return it as soon as they discover it can't run even old games at 720p 30fps
Find which line you like (optiplex, thinkcentre, HP), stock only similar computers and sell them to small businesses, 5-6 years old machines are still overkill for accounting and email.
I resell old thinkcentres with a 100% margin without any kind of lie or omission and customers are happy and buy again. Then because I only stock the same stuff I have plenty of spare parts and I can give fast replacement
Im not scamming? I upgraded the machines, doubling the ram and adding a dedicated graphics card. I’m actually attempting to create value
I did that with my personal machine. It works well.
Ah ok I thought it was just adding some RGB and vinyl wrapping to cover the scuffs
Nah. I did the arguably poor choice of only upgrading the internals
I run one of these office machines as a desktop/server. My desktop is a vm with vfio and it works well.
Its especially nice as I can basically though in tons of ram and even a external GPU and power supply with an adapter. Don't call someone a scammer just because they want to make money
I assumed it was one of those listings "Intel i7 gaming PC 16gb RAM" that are RGB lipstick on 10 years old e-waste
I've been too harsh with that sentence, I regret it
