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:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Can I avoid hardware? Are cloud gpu's a thing?
What a great example for the community you are, my guy. I love it.
Speaking up, knowing you don't have the full answer but can at least point in a general direction, is HUGE in a community full of constant and rapid change where the previous years information could already be outdated or even obsolete.
