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.

they must be tired of running that company.

Is the whole world right now like me at the very end of a SimCity 3000 game, when it's time to just turn on all the catastrophies?

Its so much less cool than that.

Business leaders have finally gotten the legal oversight landscape set up so the cash register is being monitored by a blind baby that was dropped on its head, so they're all just lining up robbing the place.

The end-game plan seems to be to keep it up until things go all Mad Max, then hide in underground vaults until that blows over and start it again.

Could they at least send the fun ones like Godzilla and aliens?

I do not think late stage capitalism was one of the endings, so I second the fun disasters.
