Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I bought a drive like that from Amazon Germany for that price, found it using diskprices.com. It was "brand new" and indeed the smart reported 0 hours, but it died within a few hours when I sent a dd wipe operation to stress test it.
Conclusion: it was a scam, the drive was already dead and had thousands of hours of life in a server. They used some low level diag tool to reset the counters and make it look like new instead of having 50k hours of life
Fun fact: they shipped it in a paper mailer, completely inappropriate for an HDD. Probably in this way they can blame Amazon warehouse "it's them, they packed it like that!" if someone reports is as DOA. If instead it still works after 50k hours of 24/7 abuse and shipping it across Europe in a paper mailer, then it's indestructible and will outlast the user.
