This sooo much. I’m not a tech person but I’m trying to learn because the giant corporations are clearly evil. I just want to have a modicum of privacy in my corner of the world so here I am trying to figure out how to self host some basic services.

roofuskit@lemmy.world 16 hours agoWhile this might be a healthy outlook, these days more and more people do not feel like self hosting is a hobby or an option, but a necessity for a free and fair society.

This. I self host some things because it’s just fun, other things because of censorship, other things because of privacy. I probably wouldn’t have Nextcloud if Google wasn’t collecting so much data. Probably wouldn’t be self-hosting my blog if content weren’t as censored everywhere. I probably would still be self-hosting a Minecraft server with a small website for said server that the members of the server can contribute to when they find/do something cool.

Nextcloud is on my list lol, but I need to run a separate box for it I think vs visualizing. It would be easier/cleaner and more reliable.

Yeah, it’s definitely one of those that’s also just… Useful. I usually don’t go for software that’s trying to do too much, but for some reason I don’t mind having nextcloud as 10 different things xD Sync files, sync podcast listens, sync my RSS feeds… A lot of things all in one
