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 wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.

I forgive 'em cuz watt hours are a disgusting unit in general

idea what unit
speed change in position over time meters per second m/s
acceleration change in speed over time meters per second, per second m/s/s=m/s²
force acceleration applied to each of unit of mass kg * m/s²
work acceleration applied along a distance, which transfers energy kg * m/s² * m = kg * m²/s²
power work over time kg * m² / s³
energy expenditure power level during units of time (kg * m² / s³) * s = kg * m²/s²

Work over time, × time, is just work! kWh are just joules (J) with extra steps! Screw kWh, I will die on this hill!!! Raaah

Power over time could be interpreted as power/time. Power x time isn’t power, it’s energy (=== work). But otherwise I’m with you. Joules or gtfo.

Could be worse, could be BTU. And some people still use tons (of heating/cooling).
