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.

yes, they do. they aren't there to provide bulletpoof hosting, they are there to make your site resistant to DDoS attacks. as an added bonus, if you are selfhosting they also provide you with a bit of anonymity, in the sense that someone can't just figure out your general location from your ISP.
that doesn't mean people can't figure out who you are from the content you host. and if you are hosting content that is illegal, even if it's illegal in another country, then you are likely to be exposed when their courts subpoena cloudflare. cloudflare isn't going to fight too hard to protect your identity against a government, and honestly I don't blame them for that because they never said that was their mission or purpose. they are DDoS protection, with a few other features that might be useful to you.
Calling cloudflare “DDOs protection, with a few other features that might be useful to you” is so insanely downplaying what cloudflare provides.
