2 days ago@drcabbage@lemmy.ml people still seem to be flocking more to Threads since it is growing by more than million users per day for the past three months. Have to accept there isn’t just a single place people are going.

17·4 months ago@selfhosted@lemmy.world audiobookshelf is really good and one of the most important selfhosted platforms for me. I use it for both podcasts and audiobooks through my phone’s browser and avoid the need for a platform-specific app and proprietary subscription-based services.

Things like Freenet or ipfs where your node doesn’t provide just networking but also storage.
Could be too obvious to mention here but a fediverse instance of some sort, lots of different software you can run besides the usual suspects like Mastodon or Lemmy/Kbin ranging from the more niche microblog platforms like Misskey forks (writing this on a Sharkey instance) to things like Bookwyrm for tracking your reading habits and connecting with other book lovers.
Distributed computing like distributed.net or Folding at Home.
It’s can be a useful server with a built-in UPS if there’s any services you’d like to isolate from the rest that you’re running. One example is backups as you want a backup system to be fairly well isolated but anything sensitive would qualify.
You could also make use of it for purposes where the hardware can speed things up, I think that GPU could help with encoding etc.

@volkris@qoto.org @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al there’s absolutely more to being decentralized than just using “decentralization techniques”. Those techniques just mean it could be decentralized in theory but isn’t at all in practice. At least not for now.
It’s like saying your service is “decentralized” even though you run and control it all because you use load-balancing with your web servers.
