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.

For sure, there is value in learning how something you use all the time likely take for granted actually works.
A bit of a tangent, but the amount of emails my mother gets because she is always signing up for shit and giving out her address to anyone who asks is mind numbing.
Systemic implementation of security can only go so far, people really need to be more critical of the information they give away.
