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.

Would they really though? Being in Switzerland is a huge part of their brand and marketing.
The only reason it's part of their branding because Switzerland is notoriously respectful of privacy. If they stop being that then that's no longer a selling point.
But this has nothing against privacy just piracy.
Privacy is what protects you against criminal charges or being banned by your ISP
This is a form of the “Nothing to hide” fallacy.

You people are going to hate me for thid but it's not a privacy concern if they block piracy domains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It absolutely is.
Cool.
In other news, Swiss law makers claim opening and reading all mail sent to make sure it doesn’t include the phrase “monty bojangles” is “not a privacy concern”
My point is that in order to block a specific domain, you necessarily need to check it against a list of all legitimate domains being accessed
Why "notoriously" though?
I don't know how to answer that.
I believe "notorious" is used in negative contexts, and was curious why Switzerland being respectful of privacy would be a bad thing.
no, that's not what notorious means. It just means a lot of people know about it.
From Merriam-Webster:
You skipped the first definition.
Yeah. The word really just breaks down to, "having been noticed widely."
