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.

I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit... Where my account was permabanned for "Report Abuse", something literally not even discussed in their TOS

And they're not every clear on if I'm allowed to use an alternate account, they just said "If you go onto another account and continue this misbehavior it'll be banned", which sounds like I'm allowed to use an alt, but..... only if it plays by the rules, but else where I'm seeing that "Ban Evasion" is against the rules, so which is it Jim Jam?

Their stance is that you personally are banned for life from subs regardless of which account. Would be a real shame if your IP got changed between accounts, your cookies and local storage got cleared, and you never mentioned the old account again. You could accidentally post in a sub you got banned from, and they wouldn't be able to helpfully re-ban you from the sub!

If you were still trying to spend time on reddit in the first place at least.

That's what my "friend" did. Reddit banned every account he used on his phone at once, but with a different IP, desktop browser, and cookie isolation, they haven't noticed so far. He might sound like some professional troll, but he was actually banned for a stupid reason.

I don't host a Mastodon but I can feel this.

No alt-text makes me sad. Can't be an xkcd without it.

"Found myself moderating chats about my Mastodon moderation setup."

This sounds complicated, but it's pretty standard practice and probably a matter of minutes to set up if you have self-hosted other services before. What takes more time is the stuff that's not standard, like ominous configuration options.

Accurate. We care about privacy and quality. A rare breed.

Hmm... Maybe i should write a Post about my Problems with the home Assistant App ^^

But Unfortunatally i mostly think "the official forum might be a better Place?"

They are laughing at you, not with you.
