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.

There's a follow up by the author:

https://dustri.org/b/follow-up-to-carrot-disclosure-forgejo.html

Including this:

So I ended up sending and email to Forgejo security team, containing: an apology, a bit about my reasoning for proceeding with carrot disclosure, recommendations about what to harden/review, and a bunch of commented exploits/proof-of-concepts as attachment. We'll see how it goes.

this shit stirrer ex-googler really does not understand the signals people are giving... apparently the community response is "hilarious", the moderators removing their toots at both instances are "overzealous" for acting upon multiple reports and giving a ~~proper~~ hilarious removal reason.

"everyone is dumb but me!" lol... (not a quote)

this person is really butthurt that people are telling them they have acted very irresponsibly.

I think they know what they're doing, bit of a troll. Framed like this in the article:

Various entities, including some with security teams, revised their judgment about what Forgejo is and isn't, which was the main goal of the previous blogpost.
