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 mean, when we see the same pattern of endless subscription creep and price hikes on virtually every service... saying "but it's only [insert dollars here]" does sound pretty out of touch.
It's not 'out of touch'. It's paying for (if it comes to that) a service that houses all of my business accounts, investment accounts, personal accounts, etc, and all with a pretty damn good track record. As with any technology, you must constantly evaluate it to see if what you are spending is justified for the service you are receiving. If at such time I feel the service isn't worth the price, then sure. As of now, it's not really an issue to me.
Sure. I think a lot of people just see that constant evaluation as postponing the inevitable, though (again, because the same pattern is everywhere). It's not acknowledging that part which seems out of touch.
I assure you, I am fully cognizant of what for-profit corporations do. It's one of the reasons I turned off the TV over two decades ago. There just wasn't any ROI for me.
