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.

Has anyone tried to run their Aoostar N1 or similar N100 systems with ECC memory? I haven’t found any indication on whether this would work, but don’t want to buy and regret it.

Not supported. Best case, it simply works in non-ECC mode, worst case, it won't boot.

That’s too bad — guess I‘ll have to find other alternatives then.

Says it doesn't support ECC: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/231803/intel-processor-n100-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz.html

I don't think you'll find many low-power chips with ECC support, if any. What's the concern?

I’ve been running my current setup with ZFS and ECC the last 10 years. With data archiving (don’t want to lose my kids‘ photos) ECC is important to me, as bit flips could otherwise break files even with ZFS.
