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.

How does this work? I thought WebRTC is UDP and Tor is over TCP. I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but I'd like to know some details.

Basically, simulating a WebRTC call allows a user to access the Tor network in a country where connections are monitored. Through NAT Traversal two users are brought into communication without opening any ports to the outside of the network

Oh, it is part of the Tor project even. Cool. Thanks. I will read the links.

Humans need to stop naming things "Snowflake". We have too many. Perform an internet search with "snowflake SUFFIX", where SUFFIX is any other term, eg Crypto or Database or Movie, and you will get at least one hit.
