Why wouldn’t serverless technologies be relevant to the self hosted community?

Mini PC. Beelinks with the N100 chip are absolute beasts at doing video encoding at low power.


UnRAID is also great when you know exactly what you’re doing but you do this stuff for work every day and your home stuff you want to be easy and out of the box lol.


UnRAID is very popular in the general self hosting community.


You’ve mistakenly conflated the Self Hosted community with the FOSS community. There is a lot of overlap in interests between the two, but the venn diagram of those communities are not at all a circle. UnRAID isn’t an exception to self hosting, it’s a textbook example of selfhosting.
It’s a similar thing with the SH community and HomeLabbing. All home labs are selfhosted obviously, but home labs are sandboxes for learning, testing and prototyping. A raspberry pi that runs one service your home depends on that you don’t tinker with outside of updates isn’t a home lab.


I’m not super familiar with Syncthing, but judging by the name I’d say Syncthing is not at all meant for backups.


When I was in the same spot, the only camera that hit all the bullet points and didn’t cost a fortune were Reolink cameras


I spent several years looking for the perfect selfhosted solution to this, but ultimately I realized an offline solution was just going to be better. So I started using Obsidian which is as simple or complex as you want with no paywall.
Some of the self hosted solutions I’ve tried were:


That’s why I switched to Emby and only sometimes regret it lol.


Jellyfin can’t even do smart collections of TV and movies
Well after reading this I just went to open the app and it now things none of my tens of thousands of photos are synced to the server, yet the sync icon at the top says there’s nothing to sync. So… not great today lol.
Overall it’s been a very buggy experience for a long time and evidently that’s not about to change anytime soon.


Each bookmark card does not make enough room for the title of each bookmark, so they’re cut off with an ellipses at the end. The readability while looking over your bookmarks is pretty bad as a result. Like after a certain point that’s unavoidable, but it doesn’t help that the spacing and margins in each card are excessive.
KaraKeep uses a similar card layout and handles it much better as a counter example.


I can see from the screenshot they still haven’t fixed the title text being cut off in each bookmark.


Yearly? Thats frankly nuts lol


Revolt can’t be considered viable in my mind until the mobile app stops hardcoding the official instance and lets users connect it to selfhosted instances.


Since Nextcloud stores your actually data on the disk, it doesn’t actually matter all that much tbh
I don’t think we’re individually responsible for anything anybody else does unless you influenced somebody intentionally into doing it.
If you want to model your idea of good behavior then you set up your sites with https. That does not mean OP is obligated to do the same. Not for a static HTML page with a couple paragraphs of text on it.
Of course it does, could you imagine the alternative? Imagine spontaneously taking responsibility for the safety of the entire internet. That would be just nuts.
I can heartily recommend taking responsibility for yourself, and not trying to foist it on others. Especially some dude with a rinky dink little personal blog.
On the contrary, lots of us write our own scripts and programs. And when considering how to self host that software, serverless is a perfectly valid choice.
Just because many self hosters are hobbyists who are only capable of using things off the shelf doesn’t make self hosting infrastructure outside the scope of… selfhosting lol
