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.

Same. I've been thinking about who to donate to this year, and it looks like they're making the cut. I'll probably also throw some money at my Lemmy instance and a handful of projects I use, including Tor, because apparently they got caught in the dragnet too.

Well donating is good it's not going to replace the government funding.

Which other projects caught your attention? I was going to donate to Graphene, EFF and some TOR operators

Far more than I can reasonably support:

  • self hosted things I use - caddy, the document foundation, Jellyfin, Forgejo, etc
  • Android apps - F-Droid, NewPipe, Signal, RethinkDNS, etc
  • desktop apps - flatpak, For, Godot, etc
  • infrastructure stuff - let's encrypt, openssh, Linux distros (mine doesn't accept donations unfortunately), etc

But the short list for now is:

  • Let's Encrypt
  • Signal
  • F-Droid

And I'll probably run a Tor relay or something as well.

If only there was a decentralised tracker which would track project funding and give us metrics like which project is dangerously close to shutting down

Man, ReThink is such a lifesaver. It's so good people at Graphene recommend it. I might give Qubes some bucks too, they are awesome
