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.

[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege (i.imgur.com)

I thought data caps for home internet were a thing of the past…

I’ve somewhat recently moved back to a very rural area of the Midwest. Small town. No stop lights. Biggest businesses other than the bars are Casey’s, Subway, and Dollar General.

And we have one ISP (not counting DSL) — Mediacom. When we first signed up, I had to go with the second service tier. But not because of speeds, but so I could have a reasonable 1 TB/mo data cap.

Lucky me, they increased the cap to 1.5 TB. 🙄

I hope that in my lifetime I can see ISPs regulated as a public utility.

I get unlimited 10Gbps symmetric fiber for $40/month. One of the only affordable things in the San Francisco Bay Area, lol

Off topic: I see that there is "9 more replies" and I am unable to expand the thread... could someone please offer guidance?

Here's a screenshot:

It works now? I am going to read the lemmy.org guide and hopefully mend this. Thank you for replying, your instance has a comfortable ui.

My screenshot is from the "Boost" mobile app on Android :) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy

https://upvote.au/comment/949970 - I was referring to your instance. It is yours right? It does feel counterintuitive to use a closed source client to access an open-source network. If I may ask, how did you make the decision to use boost for lemmy?
