Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You may get more bang for your buck by getting a comparable mini PC rather than a NUC. Some ThinkCentre Tiny machines are listed on eBay for less than $100 USD. HP and other manufacturers sell their own versions as well.
Or dell optiplex for a bargain.
Got myself a Dell 8gen 8GB 256GB SSD for 40€... Got a 6 core (8500?, It came with a "Pentium Gold" bi core) for 60€ and a 4TB HD for 70€... For example. I think it will handle a lot before needing an upgrade. It's a smallish tower though, but sff versions exist too.
It's as crazy how cheap those PCs are and how expensive Raspberries has become :-/
On the former, it's because these are mostly models sold en masse after company upgrades. Often marked as "refurbished" although I suspect it's just basic checks. Regarding the Pi, seems to be supply issues; they should at least start being sold at retail price again this year from what I hear, not that it's necessarily worth it.
I agree, but what about power usage?
Yeah sure, it's not the same.
