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.

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

I'd rather run a rusty nail through my sack than booting Windows

Have fun with that then. Sorry about your balls.

If you're competent and technologically saavy enough to use a Linux distro as your daily driver, you can learn to make Windows work for you too.

Waste of effort if you don't need to interact with any Windows environments for school or work, but definitely possible.

For me? I'm happy to get paid to automate shit using PowerShell that should have been basic built in functionality from the start. PowerShell is just the most convenient scripting language due to being packed-in with most Windows installs, and tons of built in functionality for interfacing with other Microsoft products. So as long as Microsoft keeps sucking, I've got a comfy paycheck.

And if the year of the Linux desktop ever finally happens? I'm ready, I'll be cheering, and I'll be ready to get paid helping companies to make the switch.

After learning too much about Linux it's impossible for me to use Windows.

It hurts me at every step, making me question my life and everyones sanity who handles that stuff.

It's very very bad and nobody will pry Gentoo from my hands.

Linux has been fine as a desktop since i386 days.
