Do you mean self-host on your own hardware and infrastructure? At home?
Ideally yes, or alternatively if you do need to depend on other people’s infrastructure, choose companies that aren’t massive multi-billion dollar operations that have zero concerns about you or keeping your business.
Hosting A basic website (with javascript) is a great place to start.
I mainly use docker for everything and you can get a simple http server docker point it at a folder containing your html files and now you have your own selfhosted website.
Use something like duckdns.org for a domain and dyndns to update the ip address to point to your home ip and have your router forward the http port, now your website can be accessed from outside the home network too.
Once you get a basic website working, its easy to keep going and try adding new services. I use dockge to manage all my docker services now but when i first got started i found dockstarter to be very easy to use, kind of like training wheels for docker until you feel comfortable enough to edit compose files directly.
I currently pay $8/month for a basic VPS which i use because i have a lot of public services but if you are just managing your own stuff or another user or 2 you dont even need that really.
For document storage id go with Nextcloud. If you want to also have dedicated music streaming i really like mStream for its simplicty but theres also a number of other services that support the subsonic protocol which has a lot of good clients to choose from for playback.
Id be happy to, what kind of services are you wanting to run and whats your home internet setup?

Yeah thats what happens when you host your shit on some corporate “cloud”, but will they learn from this and move to self hosting, or will they just find some smaller provider who can do the same rug pull again.
ELP’s Karn Evil 9 is a pretty epic trilogy.
The first impression part 2 is what got played most often on the radio, but personally i think part 3 is where it shines.
This just might be the greatest thing to ever come out of epics “store”.
Mainly i just host things to be the change i want to see in the world. Anyone with a decent internet connection can and should selfhost services that matter to them. I see the internet getting more commercial every day and lots of talk about how advertising is the only way to have “free” services online, but its really not. Its up to us to take back the internet from corporate interests.
What: Jellyfin, peertube, funkwhale, pleroma, matrix (continuwuity) and a Bunch of others. Mainly to share media and encorage more people to ditch netflix/spotify/etc.
Im currently working on setting up romm to also start sharing games.
Matrix is one of the only things i dont have open to new users because i dont want the moderation issues that come with it but it Lets me run bridges to all the other messaging services i dont want to have to use directly like i used to be able to do with IRC or Pidgin.
How: mostly just using docker on my home server, with a few things that dont need much storage on my VPS. I keep everything connected by wireguard.
I’ll continue to not ask for ID and run my own services open to anyone and everyone.
“we have briar at home”
No thanks.
Yeah for large corporations like Enron and their C-suites the rules are a bit different, but if its not some rich corpo exec then there are usually consequences. They might get away with the original crime but charged instead with obstructing or worse, they might still be convicted on the first thing plus an obstruction charge.
A proper forensic analysis would take into account things like modification times and other factors that could be used to determine if there was alterations.
Its the same with physical documents, a company can get a legal order to not shred documents and keep everything pertaining to a given subject, if they internally ignore it and shred documents anyway, they might get away with it, but its a pretty big risk for a company to take.
The data gets cloned to an image first, that image is then whats gets used as evidence.
Fuck off with your scams
As someone who lives in one of the states without sales tax, i used to hate it because nothing would ever be exact change, id see a candy bar listed for $1 but actually ifa 1.05 or aomething and now Ive gotta deal with a bunch of coins. Arizona iced tea for 99c… Nah bro you still need aother 12 cents (gotta pay the bottle deposit too)
Its not as annoying now that i pay for most stuff with a card, but in still resent all the other states that force people to do math.
Any VPN worth using would provide their own DNS service
Just use mullvad.
If you use only private trackers you can skip the VPN. If you use public ones, your ISP might take issue
Vivaldi has built in ad and tracking blocker and a much better UI.
Ubo lite seems to work just fine for my needs, which is blocking yt ads. Everything else vivaldi or adguard catches
Feel free to create an account, the sign ups should be open. There’s also Jellyseerr if you have any requests to add.
I have a 500mbps fiber connection with my ISP, i could upgrade to 1gbps but i’ve not yet reached a point to warrant it. It’s about $50 a month.
If you can’t get that good of a connection at home, seedboxes, which can also have jellyfin installed, are pretty affordable.
