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.

I think it's a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

still want to make sure even on my private network I’m using valid certs. A lot of security departments require that too even if the device isn’t public facing.

Is there a hard source with evidence that this is at all needed? Because there are a lot of things that "security departments" do that amount to security theater. Like forcing arbitrary password changes org wide.

Regardless of “hard evidence” it’s still the company policy. How well does it go over if you try to say “well acktuslly…” when it comes to password changes.

Well, it went over easy, but I also gained the authority to implement or toss such policies when I took my job LMAO

In any case, I was referring to the "my environment" part since it implied you had such authority and were just choosing to emulate policies of others, ofc I don't mean to make decisions you don't have the authority to. Hard evidence is hard evidence though, it does give you a leg to stand on should you propose such changes
