As promised, the results of my recent annual self-host user survey were published this morning, which can be viewed using the link below. I'll also be discussing them via live stream with YouTuber DB Tech and Multi-Scrobbler developer Matt Foxx this Saturday (11/22) at 12pm EST – join us and don't miss out! In actual news, service outages hit a bit closer to 127.0.0.1 this week as Cloudflare, GitHub, and Tailscale all took turns going down, impacting self-hosted infrastructure across the globe. Cloudflare has unfortunately become a bit of a necessity for many, but here's to hoping this serves as a wakeup call for those not aware of the many viable GitHub and Tailscale alternatives. In software, two promising e-mail archiving platforms – Bichon and Eonvelope – launched this week. Between the two of them and the recent launches of Mail-Archiver and Open Archiver, self-hosters in the market for mail backup solutions should be feasting. (Admittedly, I'm wondering if I missed something aside from the typical privacy concerns that prompted the creation of these tools all at once?) And lastly, this week's speed round of the many other notable happenings you should be aware of: Happy selfh.st/ing! Newswire
