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.

As I said in my other reply, different people like different things. I don't want an adventure. I want the passive experience. I do other things while listening to music (work, read, tinker, ...). I almost always have some music playing, but rarely do I just listen to music (it does happen though). I'll pick styles depending on mood or task, it's like the rails that keep me on track while working (as an example). If I'm not listening to music, I lose focus.

I simply can't do that with an article or other medium that requires my primary attention. I don't feel a sense of fulfillment either, but increasingly annoyed that reading this thing about music is taking more and more time. Believe me when I tell you, it's not for me.

I am just expressing the other perspective. Not telling you to have the same

I also get that, that's why I up-voted every reply from you. I actually love seeing such completely different perceptions of the same situation. And I also just want to explain my reasoning and how I got there. Which is why my replies tend to be so long.
