I’ve been selfhosting my video / photo / book collections for a while now and also running other services like personal bugeting, piehole DNS, and stuff like that.
Lately I’ve been working on the hardware side of my home network. I’m looking for some advice and normally I’d turn to one of the homelab communities. But the three communities I found hadn’t had much or any activity in the past 6 months.
I considered asking a question here related to my switch and my wifi access point. I bet there are lots of clever folks in this community. But before hitting submit I remembered to check the community rules in the side bar and noticed rule #3:
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing.
Where do all the lovely self-hosters here turn when they want to chat networking or server hardware? Anyone have some recommendations for neighbouring communities they find useful?
Private trackers are like the Matrix’s “zion”. When civilization collapses into a dystopian surveillance capitalism hellscape and the AIs and fascist governments take over the net, the last free humans will be hiding in private tracker communities, sharing freely and building a resistance. Will we have mechs with gatling guns? I don’t know, all I can say is I hope so because it looks like we’re going to need it.
