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.

Hey! So I have two spare computers, with 7th gen i5s and 16GB of ram. What would be the best way to try and monetise them? I’ve found one or two websites which allow you to rent out your servers essentially as a VPS on a fairly long term way with a decent payout. However I tried sending them an email and got no response. Are there any other such services?

(The website was this )

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
