Some of you maybe familiar with Bazzell, a former FBI agent turned OSINT specialist and privacy expert, his podcast is covering "self hosting" services for the next few episodes.
The first episode of the series did not cover much other than the reasons why he wants to dive into this. The second covered using kiwix to mirror larges sites like wikipedia, wiktionary, ifixit, project gutenberg, etc, as well as using calibre to index ebooks.
I imagine future episodes will be oriented slightly towards keeping offline data specific to some of the topics he covers (so breach data, other things that help online investigations, having local resources for privacy reasons), but all the same I figured it would be interesting to the community.
It is very interesting but its not for beginners. Sometimes when you want to self host your password manager for example , it is safer for a beginner to trust bitwarden with the security than yourself. Having a secure server takes times and know how to mitigate attacks.
Me, personally, I've just relied on KeepassXC for password management. I've never felt comfortable with online password management, as it just seems to opaque to me.
The third episode covering this topic is out, going over note apps, calendars, and contacts.
