• Home Assistant
  There’s no fucking way I’m using a cloud service to control parts of my home, that just feels so wrong to me on so many levels

• Nextcloud
  There’s no way I’m saving my files on someone else’s computer (the Cloud). Even with encryption, it’s expensive. Hard drives are cheap. Put them in a server, install Nextcloud and you have your private, cheap, independent cloud service.

• Immich (currently migrating to Enter) for my photos

• Jellyfin + arr Stack
  I’m not paying $100/month for 5 different streaming services to have access to all the content I like.

• Navidrome for my (pirated) music

• Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts

• Pi-Hole with Unbound set up as a recursive resolver, cause why should I trust someone else with DNS?

I also self-host Matrix or Revolt servers as well as game servers for me and my friends, because it’s much cheaper than getting VPS or a hosted option, and I already have this server that I use for a bunch of other stuff, so I can also just use it for that.
