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.

I've been seeing news about the Helium network for quite a while now and have been curious about it. However, it has been near-impossible to find information on it that isn't either crypto-hypeman speak or "lol crypto LMAO". Not a big fan of crypto myself - just interested in the prospect of contributing to a large-scale infrastructure or computing project. Any recommendations for similar things, or in this 'genre', I suppose?

Meshtastic
BOINC
Tor
I2P

Just off the top of my head. Meshtastic is probably the most similar to Helium but I don't know what Helium is and their landing page makes me not want to. BOINC supports projects not in the official lists, just google around.
