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.

Buying and owning something like a house on a piece of land, though, is very different to paying for a service with artificially limited monthly usage, a short limited lifetime and probably no repairability once it for some reason "stops working".
However, in this specific case of a house, you will probably still be forced by some state or another to continuously pay property taxes etc while owning it, but blame them for that – it's not the house or the property's fault. They'll also take a cut whenever you buy your bread (unless your friend is a baker) and every single time you pay your monthly/quarterly/lifetime subscription to some ISP.
Let's not dig much deeper than this, though, since this is turning into a yet another discussion about rulers, taxes etc, which is interesting enough, surely, but I'd rather discuss it with someone else, to be honest. All I wanted was to let you know that you surely have an IP address if you're connected to the internet, even without paying extra for a static one, in case you didn't know that. Now we're here, and your lifetime subscription to my limited comments service is just about to expire...
