The biggest problem for me (that make multiplayer games that are latency sensitive) is that you can't get self hosted global presence. Otherwise my stack is completely self made and can run on a Raspberry: http://github.com/tinspin

> self hosted global presence. Could you elaborate what that is supposed to mean?

I have one server in the center of every major population cluster; Taiwan, Iowa and Belgium, in order to self host those I would need a apartment/building with >1GB internet in all those places.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't even think it's that... installing this thing would scare most people away: https://cloudron.io/get.html Anything involving the command line is considered advanced knowledge for most people, so targeting your product to the novice is a miss.

Can you clarify what is scary about it :) ? Or are you saying using the command line by itself is scary? If that's the case, we do have Cloudron listed in the DO Marketplace (and in other providers like netcup, time4vps etc).

"Anything involving the command line"

the command line. a beginner is not going to open the command line and start typing in commands.

"If that's the case, we do have Cloudron listed in the DO Marketplace"

I would suggest break this page (https://cloudron.io/get.html) into a beginner and advanced section and give a detailed instructional walk through (with pictures) for beginners.

Why is something like this included? https://selfhostedsource.tech/p/algorithms Am I meant to put this software on a computer and run it 24/7? Why?

You've stumbled on the python list: https://lucidindex.com/python

It's not 'technically' part of selfhostedsource, but there's one database shared between selfhostedsource and lucidindex so it's pretty easy to get results from other lists

Lucid Index will eventually index all the 'awesome' lists, but there are a few others already functioning here: https://lucidindex.com

Ah, this makes much more sense, thank you for the clarification. :)

I know many non-technical small-scale entrepreneurs who would love to use OSS self-hosted tools to run the basics of their businesses and get away from BigTech. I'm talking little shops, yoga studios, restaurants, recording studios, etc. All they need is basics - email, calendars, maybe some shift management, inventory management, and obviously documents. These people are completely non-technical and I don't know of…

There is definitely a market, but I'd say it's a difficult nut to crack. You first want to do a quick cost-benefit-analysis first to make sure you're making an informed decision. We won't be factoring privacy, working with a big company, or other concerns in this thought. We will only focus on the numbers. Lets look at email/productivity market real quick. Google's base package is 6 dollars a month per user with all…

That's a lot of great points. Actually was thinking of doing something like this and now I see there's even more potential to help people host stuff quickly and efficiently.

Great list. I started using Firefly to track my finances back in October. Loving it so far.

How well does it integrate with other financial services? I currently just use Mint because it's the only app that can consistently pull in all my accounts into one place.

It has the ability to import data, but it's not perfect. The author actually discourages using it: https://docs.firefly-iii.org/importing-data/csv#best-practic...
