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.

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

Beyond his interest in FOSS and privacy, he's also just mellowed out a ton, the dude is in his mid (late?) thirties and you can tell.

Dude is also wealthy as fuck. That helps a ton.

His Japan & family vlogs are also really chill - he has become much more chill and proper. If you remember him from when he got big on YouTube 10 - 15 years ago, he was a completely different person!

I don't really remember why everyone hated him (Besides being annoying and once using a slur, for which he probably was lacking complete cultural understanding), but he was pretty young when he popped off. Not everyone changes as they age, but many people do. It's very reasonable to say he is a different person now.

I feel it's reasonable to recognize the wealth he has collected, and to conclude he is not my ally.

I don't fucking care who it is, wealth hoarding causes immeasurable harm, not to mention requires a sociopathic mindset. So...yeah, I'm not even giving him a chance. I got better shit to waste my time on...

Weird take. But hey: It's a free world and you choose your own battles.

I- I guess?

I got better shit to waste my time on...

Now that's a mindset I can get behind!

Eh, no two ways about it. Wealth hoarding is exactly the same choice as "push the button, get a million, but someone dies". Same fucking thing. Literally
