I think we should be happy when this happens as it encourages more players to be active in AI, and us not rely on only two companies

[self promo warning]

jellyfin 12 available as hosted option on malmo. one click install

[self promo warning] Setting up self hosting alternatives like immich is still the biggest adoption barrier out there. Most people are not technical. I had the same problem even as a technical personal.

I built malmo to solve that. 1 click install for immich malmo.network/store/immich

Underlying OS fully open source, install it on your own box or use a hosting provider

I don't think cost is the main reason you should move. Things like photos, gmail are definitely subsided by google so it's not a fair comparison. It's getting pretty easy to add backup for self hosting so that is becoming the smallest problem. Agree with you, still worth it

You can. But it's a more manual process. Under gdpr you can request total deletion of your data

Out of all the companies that could have acquired hugging face, I think nvidia is the best fit. If it had to happen, happy it was them

Disagree. When it comes to AI, mvidia has been one of the most open labs. They open source a lot things and are open to contributions

On web I use an adblocker to block annoying google popups, including the Gemini one in gmail.

Immich is an amazing alternative. People should give it a chance. One click install: https://malmo.network/store/immich

That was a good way of thinking you had. It still is.

Malmo OS has the same mission as sandstome but I guess the focus is more around docker containers

As others said, baserow is a good one. Pretty easy to self-host with something like https://malmo.network/store/baserow (founder here)

Wow, unbelievable find

I totally agree with this but it doesn't have to be a non-profit. Perfectly fine if you you build a for-profit company on top of open public standards.

The main reason for that is because most of the interactions back then were based on Open standards: rss, email, etc. If we want to get back to that. We need to start using Open standards for all things: chat - signal, social media - activity pub / at proto, news/blogs - rss, long messages - email A public open standard solves most of the problems of walled gardens

It is a scary thought but I kind of like this idea. Having a yubi key that is issued by the government that is unique to you and has your age saved on it, it's by far the most private and secure way to verify your age.

Out of all the 3rd parties, I think the government is the one that we can more cleanly hold accountable. Not only through voting but also requiring transparency. Is it the perfect system? Hell no, but the incentives for a traditional LLC not aligned with what this kind of service should offer

I'm a happy dell monitor user as well

As a PSA, there is the Consent-O-Matic family of extensions that makes option available at the browser level. You can choose the level of "tracking" you are comfortable with. They automatically choose the option in the cookie banners. Not a perfect solution, especially with custom made cookie banners but worka really well overall. Haven't clicked on a banner in years

Sure, but that's not the same thing. How they use the data is the important part. The google photos are not to be used for security for example. Different ToS. We should try and not have a defeatist attitude and fight back as much as we can

Self-hosting will become the norm very soon. I think the usual bottlenecks of "hard to manage, no backup" are no longer there. There are very good managed self-hosting solutions so you don't need to worry about anything. You just run your immich instance and you're good

I agree with this and I think it's the right way to think about it. They have the right to create their community as they want to. No one is forced to use them.

If a gitea instance only wants to offer free hosting only for rust projects, that's their right. I think the problem here is that codeberg was seen as a GitHub replacement and people were expecting the same openness, even if it was restricted only to open source projects.

I think it's their right to build the community they want. If the rules they find good for them. We're not forced to use them.

I think we're going to start seeing this more often, as more people and orgs are moving towards self-hosting or not relying on one central community hub, be it for code hosting, chat, etc

They are pretty expensive .I think of the production is around 10-15 bucks, so a pretty nice margin

True, I got one from ARS. Still my favorite one

That's exactly the problem that I tried to solve with the OS I'm working on. You can have a shared jellyfin instance if you want everyone to access the same library. But you can also create OS users, with their own jellyfin instance, and within that you can set access or only to certain folders. That only have the contents that you want them to access.

It's not as efficient as granting access within jellyfin, but it's pretty close to what you're trying to do.

So good to see so many articles pop up on hn regarding self-hosting and home labbing

That was a good read.

But this is the kind of experience that makes technical people fall in love with self-hosting, but also keeps the majority of the population away.

Most of the people don't want the hassle of managing a self-hosting box.

I think a middle ground option might where someone hosts it for you, but you can also move to your own hardware at any time might be best

I think your comments might be overly negative. Would you expect the first model from an organization to top the chart? It's a process, I think they did pretty good. They have enough resources to continue improving on it

I was looking at something similar a couple of days ago. I think a physical key like a yubi key is a great way to fight bot traffic. And apparently cloudflare already ran project to test this out, and found some small drawbacks. So they proposed CAP together with other orgs https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/cry...

This might be an extreme case of that, but I can see us going in that direction

Been working on something similar, love to see more project in this area

I can't wait for self-hosting to become the norm and companies to not have the option to do this anymore
