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.

You can use a larger fan and a shroud to redirect the air flow, similar to how laptops are cooled.

I'd like to keep the cooling internal, I just have it sitting on a shelve next too other desktops k3s nodes.

I just meant you can have an internal fan that's larger than your heatsink, and a shroud to direct the airflow to it. It requires less vertical space, but more horizontal space.

Oh yeah that makes sense, the board does come with a shroud, my fans just don't have the power to push air through it well.
