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.

I wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.

Wow, the US education system must be improved.

I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don't live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

1J is 3600Wh.

No, if you're going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

That's literraly the same thing,

It's not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they're not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

Finally, something I can agree with. But that's only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.
