Selfhosting got me a job offer
(alien.top)
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.
For Example
We welcome posts that include suggestions for good self-hosted alternatives to popular online services, how they are better, or how they give back control of your data. Also include hints and tips for less technical readers.

When I interview entry-level IT operations candidates, discussion of home labs puts the candidate at the top of the list, all other things being equal.

Only once has that strategy failed me, and it wasn't even a terrible fit - just a bad one.
