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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Like the title implies, I’m trying to figure out where to pickup cheap used or new battery backups (ups) in Canada.

I have a couple of small servers I run, so around 1000+ watts should be good.

If I have to replace the battery inside, that’s not a problem, there is a battery place inside my city that offered cheap replacements for around $30.

Any suggestions help!

750w constant would be brutal for my bank account, jealous of you people with cheaper electricity costs. Costs like $0.38/kWh where I am.

I think my cost is around $0.28 so I feel your pain man.

I think it's around $0.18 here last I looked. Still not nice to the bank but not bankrupting at least. Now keeping the room cool mid-summer, that's another matter...
