Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control.

"private" a radlib is someone who pretends to be radical but are simply just another neoliberal, like the freakish class of Xeni Jordan ass technocratic redditors lol

Self-hosting allows users to have more control over their data, privacy, and computing infrastructure, as well as potentially saving costs and improving skills

"improving skills" (neoliberal Obama PMC eye lasers meme) MORE SKILLS??? Wow! That means these filthy working class creatures are less worthy of liquidation. Historical progress is truly incredible matt

The practice of self-hosting web services became more feasible with the development of cloud computing and virtualization technologies, which enabled users to run their own servers on remote hardware or virtual machines. The first public cloud service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), was launched in 2006

these allegedly anti-capitalist redditors only exist because of the most demonic neofeudal corpos gave birth to them, really makes you think

    The practical ability to host rich media services at the scale of the individual is there, but the primary blockages are the limited ability of an individual to handle the upkeep and organizational work, and the fact that the Internet today is awash in digital landlordism. "Hosting" is simply renting space on someone else's computer, and pay for an Internet connection is an imposition by ISP monopolists.

    Accounting for this, I believe there's a lot of possibility in regional, collectively hosted digital services. I'm working on just such a thing with my local comrades. In an environment with municipal broadband (admittedly a fantasy in North America), there's nothing preventing it.

    In my wildest dreams, municipal libraries host everything in their collection on a simple network filesystem for free copying.
