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’ve settled on this idea as a Python developer. I don’t care if I have long names. I care about:

  • understanding what it is merely by reading its name
  • ability to sort lexically and items be returned in a manner I find satisfying
  • uniform string structure, typically delimited by hyphen or underscore (I don’t care which, most of the time)

Names can be long. spark_write_operation_status_failfast is leagues better than some like write_op_stat
