They are pretty expensive .I think of the production is around 10-15 bucks, so a pretty nice margin

True, I got one from ARS. Still my favorite one

That's exactly the problem that I tried to solve with the OS I'm working on. You can have a shared jellyfin instance if you want everyone to access the same library. But you can also create OS users, with their own jellyfin instance, and within that you can set access or only to certain folders. That only have the contents that you want them to access.

It's not as efficient as granting access within jellyfin, but it's pretty close to what you're trying to do.

So good to see so many articles pop up on hn regarding self-hosting and home labbing

That was a good read.

But this is the kind of experience that makes technical people fall in love with self-hosting, but also keeps the majority of the population away.

Most of the people don't want the hassle of managing a self-hosting box.

I think a middle ground option might where someone hosts it for you, but you can also move to your own hardware at any time might be best

I think your comments might be overly negative. Would you expect the first model from an organization to top the chart? It's a process, I think they did pretty good. They have enough resources to continue improving on it

I was looking at something similar a couple of days ago. I think a physical key like a yubi key is a great way to fight bot traffic. And apparently cloudflare already ran project to test this out, and found some small drawbacks. So they proposed CAP together with other orgs https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/cry...

This might be an extreme case of that, but I can see us going in that direction

Been working on something similar, love to see more project in this area

I can't wait for self-hosting to become the norm and companies to not have the option to do this anymore

An operating system for self-hosting

https://github.com/malmoos/malmo

I saw the options out there were not fully open source, or had other limitations so I started working on this better one. Based on Debian, apps are docker containers.

I do work to adapt current open source apps, but it's so great to make them available as one click install.

I want to make it easy to run on a cloud VM or an old PC kept in the pantry. There are so many cases for self-hosting now that we need to make it easier to do

I agree that this title is very opinionated. If the country would have created enough electricity, the percentage wouldn't be a problem

Not really, no. It is one of the most important attributes of good journalism that you have to be as impartial. That's why papers have separate sections for Opinions

For people outside of Ireland: these rates are not the norm. They are usually around 20-22. Can go down 17 if on special plans, or even 12 if you have an electric car.

It's a pretty antagonistic way of asking a question man. Don't do that

The problem I see is that git commit meaaages are not as flexible at storing context information as files. Or easier to retrieve. We do have --grep to search them but it's definitely not as poweful as all the tools we have to handle files at the OS level. As verbose as storing specs in files is, I also prefer it

This looks really nice. Great job.

Looking at adding it to the malmo.network store for self-hosters

If you need to just offer free access to your open source repo, gitea is a nice alternative and super easy to self host. Github also has the community, which you lose, true, but it depends on what matters more to you. I can help you setup gitea really fast if you're interested

I think there is an explosion of new apps, the problem is still distribution in marketing. If I develop a new vibe coded app, it will still take some time for it to be known. And also get good.

Also, what another commenter said that most of new apps are in-house, fully agree with that.

Valid points. But I see self-hosting even as renting a VPS from someone and running the service there. Which solves most of the dev ops problems that I dont wanna bother with. Maybe it's not "actual" self-hosting, but concenient enough to use it

Still pretty useful to build in EU

Great app! Great to see the progress with it.

The biggest complaint has always been how hard it is to self-host it, but that's not true anymore. If you have a good underlying system that handles all the boring stuff, you can actually have a pretty good experience.

I'm biased because I'm building an OS for this, and it makes spinning up imich so easy.

There are simpler options now to self-host these kinds of apps. It's not that hard anymore

This. I think encryption is the job of the underlying operating system not the app running on top of it

That's true. But I think it's the same case as a bad actor owning a domain for himself. They still need to do some policing so it doesn't pull down the whole TLD

I actually think this is a really good concept. There is no perfect solution for what they're trying to do, but I think they have most of the things covered.

Offering one free per person is nice, it can be tricky to enforce but I think doable. Regarding privacy, even right now ICANN rules require a real name and address for the domain.

This project comes at the right time when because I see a lot of interest growing towards self-hosting.

I am biased though, I've been working on on OS for self-hosting , fully open source, Debian based, no restrictions https://github.com/malmoos/malmo

I think it's important to care about these things though. You want competition but you also want fair competition

This is a push by one individual, or maybe a small group. I don't think we should generalize this to the whole European commission, or the whole EU. Hopefully and most likely it will be shut down if put up for a vote.

Even if you go with an open source AI model, it will still make a lot more financial sense to pay a provider then actually invest in the hardware to self-host it.

It's definitely worth investing in self-hosting the agent infrastructure around the model though: all the documents, knowledge base, all the connectors, the agent itself to run on your hardware

I went over their website in the description and I'm still finding it hard to understand how they work. Do contributors fund the pool that then pays for API cost of using a model?

The kind of coming around story that you rarely see on hn. Props to you for writing this
