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:

  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.

Sooo... where's the self-hosted material coming from if Bluray's aren't being produced any more?

If the high seas dries up, are we up shit creek and have to stream?

If the high seas dry up, we shall sail the skies or the void itself.

Adapt, improvise, overcome.

Yeah, piracy is the last bastion of privately controlled media files

Doesn't seem like it's going away though

Until they enforce government ID verification on every website & ban VPN's. Mark my words, that's what they'll try to push under the guise of "save the children"

Actually support people who distribute under more reasonable terms/use Creative Commons/release to public domain.

If the high seas dry up I'll just hit my local public library and get all the books and other media from there
