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.

minority or not. I'm not going to make excuses to just "join in" when there's heavy implications of licensing violations and poor ethical practices surrounding the implementation of slopware.

I'll never use AI in the development of a project because it goes against every single principal that drives me. AI is my arch enemy, the antithesis of my whole being.

Oh man believe me I'm all for it. I totally understand having an approach of engineering that is not bankable or tailored for Californian degen culture.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your stance. Just saying it will become an aesthetic niche just like there's some people who still track music on magnetic tape when it would be exponentially faster to use cubase.

I don't have your specific axe to grind against AI but my personal angle is to only use old hardware and make software that runs on it.

Not everything has to be superlative, and self imposed constraints are great for quality of life.
