I just published a new blog post about my #selfhosting plans for 2026 and... I remembered to add this pic (a scan of my own handwriting) at the bottom of the post.
It's now more important than ever: "written by a human"

Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is Vaultwarden.
Vaultwarden is a readily self-hosted alternative implementation of Bitwarden, a password / credential manager.
It works with Bitwarden clients, and has its own web client.
Sandra and I use it to share passwords with each other, as well as keeping our own separate vaults in sync across multiple devices.

Have you considered making your own #GoToSocial server?
GoToSocial is a new Fediverse platform which is lighter than Mastodon and has more user safety features. It's compatible with Mastodon apps so there are already lots of ways to use it.
You don't need to be techy to set up a GTS server, there are managed hosting providers at https://fedihost.co/hosting/gotosocial and https://communick.com/gotosocial
If you ARE techy, there are manual installation instructions at https://docs.gotosocial.org
Ok so hey #SelfHosting
I want a #SelfHosted web-type Office Suite ala Google Sheets/Docs and I don't want it to be part of some gigantic resource-chewing albatross like #NextCloud
I would like to do all my Word Processing and Spreadsheeting and so forth through a web interface, which is served from my #Debian server (docker is fine) and saves the documents as normal files in a defined directory.
Does such a thing exist? I do NOT need feature-rich, I do not need it to save MSOffice docs that I can send to a printing shop with all bugs intact, I just want to stop losing shit to hard drive wipes, which I'm sorry but nuking my hard drive is a lifestyle choice at this point and I don't care what you think about it.
I have had the thought that maybe #LibreOffice has some sort of plugin or something which could store files in an Object Storage type thingy that I could self-host instead, cause I've been planning to get some sort of bucket online since forever...
In the past few days I’ve seen talk about RAM prices shooting up due to demand from big datacenters.
Today I read that a historic brand like Crucial - I own plenty of their hardware, including SSDs - is dropping consumer products to focus on gear for those same datacenters.
The result (or maybe the intention?) is to push people away from self hosting, undermine the OwnYourData idea and make everyone depend on huge datacenters for life.
So much for owning your data.
So much for decentralisation.
Because taking down one giant datacenter is far easier than taking down thousands or millions of individual nodes.
Friends and colleagues, don’t trade your freedom for a bit of convenience. Once you give it away, getting it back is very hard.
Always Own Your Data.
