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.

Really? That's a rather big claim, and would change a lot for me if true. Do you have anything by the way of a source?
Also, how do you MITM https traffic without one of the parties just handing you their keys?
It was Hetzner and Linode. Likely from police wiretapping.
Wait, they managed to forge Let's Encrypt certificates? While it explains the attack on TLS (though technically not https as originally claimed, not that it makes much of a difference), that's even worse...
If you have control over the host, getting a legit valid cert is trivial.
They're a hosting company. It wouldn't take much for them to temporarily have a vps grab some certs for domains that already point at them. Every hosting company has this power. Few use it.
Technically you don't even need to have control over the host, just over the data flow to the IP.
That was fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I'm still early on my self-hosting journey, but a year or two ago I would have understood next to nothing of that. :D
It's true, links already shared by others, the thing is that I'm sure other providers would've done the same.
Yeah, that's the key point. They weren't trawling all the servers, they probably had a wiretap order for one specific server. As a legal business, you can't just say no to police because you don't like mitm.
