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.

Oh, definitely rose-coloured, but I am thinking even before those days... like when access to Usenet was restricted to colleges and universities, dial-up BBSes ... and I didn't use Windows or MacOS at all back then. ActiveX and js didn't even exist back then. Boot-sector floppy viruses did, but those were easy to guard against.
Ah yeah, those were interesting times. (Although there were some historically interesting viruses back in the day for those floppies too)
Fond memories though. Learning basic on a cartridge... Using literal cassettes for storage. That horrifying sound of a 5" floppy drive struggling to read that file you really needed. Good times.
Generally speaking that was probably what most of us would identify as pre internet times - but usenet / BBS / and early internet and prior definitely was more bright eyed and optimistic. Probably because it was more about learning and tech and less about monotizing every square inch of your existence 😂
