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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I’m desperate for a community driven review system for open source. We’re drowning in vibe-coded slop, and I honestly don't have the time or a good slop detector to audit every tool I download. I know I should be checking under the hood, but the sheer volume of low-quality projects makes it impossible to keep up
You're here, that's a good start...
I tend to look at a project's Issues tracker, that gives me a feel for how the author(s) deal with feedback... some projects have hundreds of open tickets with barely any interactions, yet code updates "2 days ago".
Being here and reading about who's using what will help remove the major outliers
All opensource needs more eyeballs, which is still the advantage over closed source.
There are projects turning issues to discussions
Sounds like the solution would be a public code sharing platform that specifically bans AI generated code. Then, at least, we’re moving in the right direction. Do any alts to GitHub provide such a rule?
It doesn’t need to be perfect nor catch every offender. No need for magic AI-coded detection sauce. If it just detected slop, human or otherwise, and obviously AI-written code, with a reporting mechanism for user-driven monitoring, that could be a good start
But, should we worry about it being a source for AI companies to scrape? How should we deter that?
This is what good distros do, well some of them, I don't think low touch repos like AUR/Homebrew/PPA's would catch this, but I doubt huntarr will ever make it to Debian.
Ofc the trend of running upstream unverted containers undermines this.
I saw a project yesterday where the two main contributors were some guy and 'Claude'. So, y'know, that one at least was an easy tell 😂
