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.

I pay for all of the software that I use, and encourage others to do so as well. That's not what this is at all. Pretty much the opposite effect.
I paid for Evernote for years, got a double helping of enshitification.
I pay for Google Workspace. They will Play eventually sunset keep even though I pay for their services because that's just what they do.
If you don't host it yourself, they can and will take it away from you.
Yes. Yes. And Yes!
Yep. You can pay with your data, you can pay a corporation, or you can pay open source developers directly.
If someone can't afford to pay, or doesn't believe in it, that's fine, and that's part of what open source is, which is amazing. But if you're in a position to support foss developers, and they created something useful for you, I think it's the least we can do.
Don't worry, that guy wins most useless comment. You're post was great.
And yet you are not OP
Yes, it is?
Your rant doesn't make sense. Asking for suggestions because you're not OK with being spied on (especially when you're perfectly willing to absorb the hosting costs yourself or pay for a service that isn't hostile) is perfectly valid behavior.
It literally is...
