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.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

That's definitely one of those things I found bizarre and awful yet...entirely unsurprising. I can see how selling that data probably sounds like such a lucrative edge to marketing companies.

how did we as society come to accept this?

By not establishing ethical ~~lines~~ high-voltage containment fences on the advertising industry quickly enough, and letting them convince us "this is just how business works", when their entire existence is about finding the scummiest ways to hack free will for profit.
