I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

That's a point that I've looked at for decades and just like you said; it's much worse because the audio is something that can be so extremely intrusive when it is violated and sent somewhere else

For example most of the major providers of so-called social media, have a client in which they have a clause for usage that is literally saying that they can turn on the microphone, at will, and you can't do anything about it. They obfuscuate the message by putting it in legalese

That is more than frightening

For some odd reason people consider it to be normal to be very very violated when it comes down to their personal privacy.

* No one should point the camera at your face without your permission.
* No one should sell you a device which has a camera pointed at your face 24 hours a day and you just accept it
* No one should sell you a device with a battery permanently sealed in it but that's another story and another storyline
* No one should ever sell you the snake oil telling you that it's normal to have a camera pointed at your face 24/7

It's not 🚫 normal!

Now go and protect your identity cover that lens!

When was the last time you've properly used the camera on your Android?

No I'm not talking about the camera which points at the scenery, I'm talking about the camera which points straight to your face 24 hours a day every time you pick your Android up.

¿Well? I'm waiting.

About 990 out of 1000 people will answer this wrong.

The only proper way of using that camera is making sure that it can only record images of your face when you absolutely want to

That means that you need to put a piece of electrical isolation tape in front of the lens of the camera and it should be like that for most of the day.

Any other manner means that you do not know anything about securing yourself and about protecting your identity.

Do you consider it normal to have a barrel of a firearm pointed at your face 24 hours a day?

The question is rhetorical

Now please follow suit and do like I have done it for decades;

The only time when the camera is pointed at me, is when I want to; if I don't I either cover it, or shove the person who puts the camera in my face in such a manner that they drop it immediately, or else!
