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.

Sorry. I chose .local and I'm sticking to it.

I went with .home and so far the problems are within reason

[–] anytimesoon@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using .home and have not had any issues. Would you mind sharing what problems you've come across so I know what to expect?

The main problem I have is waking up in the middle of the night worrying that ICANN pulled some more stupid corrupt bullshit that only makes networking worse and breaks my config.

Just look elsewhere in this thread: someone thinks that using .honk as a joke is safe. But what about .horse? .baby? .barefoot? .cool? (I stopped scrolling through the list at this point but you can see how arbitrary and idiotic things have become.)

I still haven't heard a convincing argument to not use .local and I see no reason to stop.

Mainly conflicts with mDNS. However it's shitty IMHO that the mDNS spec snarfed a domain already in widespread use, should have used .mDNS or similar.

.local is already used by mDNS/Zeroconf.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You mean mDNS/Zeroconf are using a tld that was already being used.

Tell me you don't share a net with Macs without using those words.
