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:

  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.

Do you actually literally believe that (in the context of law), or is that just rhetorical speech?

Correct and it is not illegal. It is an invasion of privacy but the law doesn't prohibit that. Amendment 4 covers the Government doing it without the permission of the person who controls the information. It refers to "can the Government bust in or sneak in to get info", not "can the Government make clandestine deals to buy info for surveillance purposes".

Maybe it's a loophole to help some friend's ailing company with federal money
