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.

I really hope they die soon, this is unbearable…

For a while my GoAccess instance wasn’t working properly so I couldn’t visualize my access logs from Traefik, got lazy trying to fix it and left it as is, well in the meantime I wasn’t lazy enough to setup Synapse and begin federating on my home network.
Finally fixed my GoAccess today to be surprised to see Synapse hits labelled as crawlers, well over a million hits.
vendredi à 16h30 ... curieusement, personne n'essaie de répondre à ta question 😋

50% of my traffic is scrapers now. I really want to block them but I also want my content to be indexed and used for LLMs. At the moment there isn't really an in-between way of doing that. :(
(This is with me knowing they fuck up the electricity nets and memory chips, I'm just hoping that gets better soon.)
