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 concerned about the ownership of ebooks"

  • Buys books via Amazon.

I really wonder about the agency of people. OK, you bought the book, good to support the author. Now go get a known good copy of it that you can disconnect, there's hundreds of places you can do that. Put it in Calibre or whatever else you use or just drop it in your filesystem (icloud doesn't count, dummy). Then it's yours.
