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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Well one way is I don't depend on it already. But it's also not like food or water, or grid, society infrastructure in general. It's just another way of doing compute, but dependent on big tech's big iron. Being made dependent on big tech is the enshitification. It's just another method, they have already done all the anticompetition they can. Consumer choice isn't a solution to regulatory failure, but it's not nothing.
On top of poltical/power problem, it will have similar effect on software developer brains as satnavs do the navigation parts of our brains. Like satnavs, there will be way to get the good / bad balance better, but that's not in big tech's interest. It's all so damn toxic and drowning open source project in slop PR requests.
