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.

Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

On one hand I hate that legit users are punished for the actions of few cunts selling massive plex libraries and using Hetzner because of cheap storage and unlimited transfer, but I sort of understand that plex doesn't want to be associated with piracy (lol).

On the other, fuck Plex. Seems trivial to detect these massive libraries with hundreds of "friends" and just shut those down. Seems insane to block a whole fucking provider over this. I've been a paid subscriber since day one and then bought a lifetime pass, but this dumb move is making me consider other products.

But on third hand, I don't really care because I use tailscale so I almost never use the plex's proxy anyway.
