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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I am reminded of back in the late 60s to 70s we did a lot of studies on left handed people and our kneejerk reaction to try and change their dominant hand. We decided that left handed people were absolutely normal, leave them be and stop stressing out adolescents by trying to make them 'normal', because they already are. BTW the practice of changing dominant hands goes all the way back to the Catholic church during the middle ages. Anyways, when corporate America heard the news, they started producing all manner of left handed tools, which was helpful, but their motivation was $$. Same with LGBTQ+++. Corporate America capitalized on every aspect.
However, if you plunk down your hard earned money for an AI rice cooker, you're the idiot and P.T. Barnum would be right once again.
I think the feeling is the same, but the cause is a bit different. It is more similar to the dot-com bubble, where investors (for some reason?) are hyped to throw their money into AI. So if you can market yourself as AI, you can get big investments. Now that you have all that investor cash, you need to justify it somehow by using AI somewhere, anywhere.
I've dealt with VC back when I ran an internet radio station. There is pressure to incorporate their wishes, because, well, they want an ROI on their investment.
