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.

Sorry your car just stopped working for "safety" reasons.

If that were the case, there would be traffic jams in tunnels across the country due to disabled cars.

Nah, it just detects the presence of the hardware.

But not the faraday cage around the telematics unit.

Yeah I'm not saying it's impossible. Just not easy.

You'd have to remove the dash on some car models. That is well beyond easy.

For you, perhaps.
