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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm not sure a fork makes sense given the dev merged way too much nonsense already. Maybe from a point in time before it started?

I've been looking to check out Booklore over some annoyances I have with CWA but IDK anymore.

Don’t let perfect stop you from achieving good.

It’s not radioactive waste, it’s code. You can read it, write it, change it. Just like any legacy codebase it’s full of shit, and maintaining means addressing the specific issues.

This whole debacle is showing that people fundamentally misunderstand how code works. They are trying to declare code good or code bad because of some silly heuristics like ai/not-ai, as if it wasn't literal lines of text which you can read before you form an opinion and make a fool of yourself.

Good code has always been about simplicity, taste, and understanding.

If a human provides understanding and taste, they can elevate AI code to be good.

Likewise if an AI isn't well guided it won't understand, has no taste, and will generate overly complex code. AKA Slop.

Exactly. And a commit is a commit. Unless it's 10Kloc in one go you can just read what's in it and decide for yourself.

At my previous job we used to jokingly (?) tell our engineering manager "no commits, no opinions" well I think it's kinda like that.
