Interesting media, podcasts, shows, blogs on topic of self-hosting you like? - Mander

I just remembered I started self hosting due to the old HAK5 youtube show, which I dearly miss. What media do you enjoy regarding this topic?

They are extremely annoying to me. Dude pumped Raspberry Pis for far too long when there were so many better boards and options. And now is whoring out UnRAID which is by far the worst fucking option for selfhosters by far. And nextcloud as absolute fucking ass and that’s all they talk about, never services that are better. I cut my teeth with that podcast, but when I really got into selfhosting realized that they really don’t know wtf they talk about.

UnRAID which is by far the worst fucking option

Can you elaborate? I know they’re paid and not FOSS, is there something else bad about them?

You have to waste a usb drive to turn into drm garbage for licensing. They do obscure secret sauce shit to make mixed drives work… it’s far better to accomplish the same thing with mergerfs and snapraid as it’s open and documented properly. The whole spinning up docker containes by filling out web forms is just fucking gross.
