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.

Is there any other info on this besides drew devault's blog post?

It has links in it. I'd recommend starting with them.

Here is grapheneOS talking about how Futo fucked them over, from the article as an example:

OK, thanks.

Not really that helpful, it's just more he said/she said.

Grapheneos is a pretty poor choice of example, it has its own issues, they have conflicts with many others (see France pullout), they have openly fought with Murena, e/os, fairphone, among others. Plus, grapheneos likes to throw shade on "less permissive licenses", which is really weird, considering they use an MIT license, whose loose terms is abused by many not-so-great companies.

The lead of grapheneos is just as controversial as futo, gets into public spats with others, generally difficult to work with, etc.

I say this using GrapheneOS myself.

I'm not a fan of the Curtis Yarvin association, though.

The people running these companies aren't perfect. Sometimes they aren't ideal, either. But I'd rather use Immich than Google photos and heliboard than Swiftkey.

Feel free to draw whatever line or excuse whatever behavior however you like.

At this point I would prefer to support the Immich devs directly without Futos involvement, but thats likely not possible.

Hey, I get it. It's really difficult these days to tell when to care and when caring will make living in the modern world too difficult.

And I will uphold your right to care about different stuff than I do.
