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.

Removing the word "windows" in the last frame and also "your dad installs it for your dumb mom" to "your parents install a server. Maybe your mom does it or your dad does it. Maybe you can also help!"

Teaching "children" that technical tasks are for dady to do is so cringe.

Those two little changes and it becomes a readable story.

Yeah it seems to be from the early 2010s, some of the wording would probably be different if it was made today

I agree the language should be adjusted but it doesn't say or even imply the mom is dumb, that's a little bit of a stretch.

This seems to be an ad for a windows based product. I agree with your points though.
