Thanks a lot!
Many of my self hosted solutions are just DIY cludges. I was talking to a friend of a friend on Saturday about media streaming and he told me all about his Jellyfin setup and then asked about mine and I was just like "I just store MP4s on an SSHFS drive and play them in VLC on my TV (which runs Linux Mint)." When the survey asked about the various types of software I was like "No... I don't use anything like that... wait... yes I do! I just don't use a prebuilt solution!"
Done, and link forwarded to my non Lemmy using selfhosting mentor. Maybe can get at least one more respondant. Maybe more. Good luck!
Hope it helps. There are whole categories of self hosted software I hadn't thought of before. Maybe I should try some of them! 😁

Thanks, much appreciated!
Ad a German, I was confused by the second education question and what I should fill out.
(mapping Grundschule / Hauptschule / Realschule / Gymnasium / Studium)
Thank you for your feedback!
We understand that the question about education levels may have been confusing, especially when trying to map the German school system to the categories provided.
The answer options in our survey are based on ISCED 2011 – the International Standard Classification of Education, developed by UNESCO. This is a globally recognized framework used to ensure that education levels can be compared across countries, despite differences in national education systems.
To help clarify, here is how the German terms you mentioned generally correspond to ISCED categories:
- Grundschule → Primary Education
- Hauptschule / Realschule → Lower Secondary Education
- Gymnasium (until Abitur) → Upper Secondary Education
- Studium (university studies) → depending on the degree (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent tertiary education level / Master’s degree or equivalent tertiary education level Doctoral degree or equivalent tertiary education level)
Thank you, that is helpful.
I'll never understand social media. Maybe it's me (might as well be as neurodivergent, but then again might say something about tolerance and inclusion... anyhow) but I'd love to understand the downvotes.
The difference in education systems is not a choice of any of the conversations attendees and the differences in education system are fact.
Maybe a downvote for Germany? For not knowing by heart? Or maybe because I stated the issue. Of course, research helps but in details sometimes creates even more confusion so it's best to ask.
Communication as a way to be helpful. As I want to be to this research because I think it's a good statement as research to be done.
(Last but not least - I don't emotionally care about downvotes. I love understanding though.)
Done. Good luck.
Thanks so much – really appreciate it! :)
Done! Happy to help!
Good luck on your thesis!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support! :)
Using self-hosting services enables me to accomplish tasks more quickly.
As opposed to what? Using a cloud SaaS alternative, or not having that service at all?
