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.

That YouTube strike for Jeff geerling scares me... Twice in 6 months? For just mentioning libreelec?

We are all being driven underground by the profiteers who are ruining what was at one time a great free platform. I hope we find a way to keep our freedoms alive.

Fuck the yt police, and fuck their moms.

I don't deal with YT much unless it's just the only place I can find a certain tutorial I need. I used to have music videos up on YT but it became such an anchor to drag around. I do have some on PeerTube with very low traffic. The problem I see is that there is no real 'easy' way for users to find content they desire on PeerTube and similar venues. Even places like BandCamp which has been around forever, content creators find it difficult to get their content to the masses. MP3.com made a decent go at the market, but when the dust settled, it collapsed. So until someone comes up with a more attractive, publicized venue, YT can and will continue to be assholes. In the meantime, I don't see places like PeerTube being a threat to YT. Casual consumers of content will always choose the easy path, and I can understand that. I did see that PeerTube is coming up with a different(?) mobile app. I hope it's a bit more polished than the current one.
