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.

Amendment 4 does not apply to the practices of a private company. That's what privacy legislation is intended to protect against. Amendment 4 only applies to spying done by the State.

The state is just spying via a proxy.

Do you actually literally believe that (in the context of law), or is that just rhetorical speech?

It's literally what's happening.

Texas used the same concept to empower private people to sue abortion providers and receivers under civil law since they couldn't do it criminally.

The country as a whole has done it for a long time with cellphone data, the five eyes alliance, etc.

They have access to information they're barred from getting directly themselves, and they get it from private companies. Spying by proxy.
