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.

I don't have much issue with email as a technology. It does what it needs to do, and does it well. The client side software is what hasn't budged in years - Search barely works, files and attachments are cumbersome, and spam is still rampant.
It would be much cheaper and easier if users weren't centralised under a few big providers that prefer to bar any and all access to said users if you're self hosting, making it almost mandatory to use a private service.
The issue is that my ISP blocks it. And so any service that requires it is inherently broken.
The solution to spam is to require invitations.
they cannot block what is internal. google does not need to be aware of your internal activities anyway
