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.

And I just made an HTTP endpoint in golang that outputs PNG labels with small QRs just as I need them, to print out on my Bluetooth label printer.

@rcmd do you use the original printer app and just import the PNG or are you able to print the label directly? If the latter, would you mind sharing the setup?

For now I use the vendor provided app, given it supports a share intent, so I can simply toss a PNG from Vivaldi at it and make it print the label. It does the job, and more importantly, it bypasses all possible obnoxious advertisement.

@rcmd Thanks for the info. I'm still hoping to find a printer for this label size (and roughly that price point) without having to rely on "ad-ware" apps to use it.
