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 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.

So do your router/switches/access points/cabling etc support 2000? What about the devices' lan ports? Curious as to to how 2000 works for home network infrastructure

Yeah, my core network is 10 Gig and I have my desktop computers connected at either 10 or 2.5 Gig. So that's full speed. Wireless is limited to just 1 gig for the most part. I do have 1x 6e access point which my couple of compatible devices can use and get faster than gig downloads.

It was nice during the initial rollout before they had QoS set up. I was getting over 4 Gbit symmetric but that didn't last for too long.
