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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

@spaduf That's really nice, I actually use Obsidian myself for note taking and I can say that I will never go back to normal note taking software. The internet and software needs to change to be for the user, for if the software doesn't exist in the future. We never know if a service will go but we shouldn't loose everything.
Love Obsidian and linked notes in general. The potential utility there is insane but it's such a steep learning curve. I really think that in the not too distant future they'll be teaching it in schools.
Proprietary software should NOT be taught in schools! We already have way too much of that
If you do not teach proprietary software un schools, you will hobble your students' job hunting potential. We should ALSO teach open source alternatives, and teach the idea that there are functional alternatives, but a student who has never used the major apps isn't getting their resume even looked at by a human.
Imo students need to be taught how to use Windows, Linux would also be neat, but it's not necessary for most.
They also need to be taught how to use any office suite, it can be libre office or MS office, it doesn't really matter which but they have to be able to use it.
Definitely talking about linked notes. Obsidian is far from the first or only player in the space. Logseq is out there for the FOSS diehards. I actually very much prefer the Logseq paradigm but struggled with performance issues on my machines.
I really hope so, it should be taught, because for me it was a slow learning process. First I started using Obsidian, and moving all my notes from Evernote, Notion, and others manually. After that I moved to Logseq, which is like Obsidian but open-source. And the last step was using an open-source syncing tool (Syncthing) to have my notes synced locally in all devices. And now I have been 2 years self-hosting my notes in a really easy way.
