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.

Latest dev news:

As there have been lots of questions about the legality to run a tenfingers node, I dived deep into the legal protections we have here in the EU, and it is called Safe Harbour Provision.

I'm not a lawyer, all help greatly appreciated! I thought that as the node do not know what it is sharing (because it is encrypted), it falls under the same legislation as internet broadband providers, but even website hosters benefit from this protection. If anyone is aware about the details about similar laws outside the EU, I'd be grateful if you can share them with me.

So you can spin up a tenfingers server node, but it obvious comes with a caveat ; there must be a way to generate takedown requests, and as a node owner, if you get one, you must comply. Much like a website.

You can now generate a takedown request from a link file, it is a simple command line and it generates a takedown file and an address file containing all the nodes carrying the data. All you have to do is to distribute the takedown request with the added takedown file to the users of the IP addresses. This is done all the time with illegal content.

If you, as a node owner, gets a takedown request you just need to execute it with a simple command to comply.

All documented Here

Again, I'm obviously not taking any legal responsibility for anything of this, as per the documentation.

Cheers

Valmond
