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.

It's sad, because for most people the use-case for an m-dash is relatively narrow—a parenthetic interjection relevant to the topic (but not sufficiently off-topic for brackets), and needing a subtle call to authority—it mostly popped up in academic or pseudo intellectual non-fiction, or in faulknerian ponderous fiction, but also as a hapless crutch for endlesss neurodivergent layers of qualification.

So I am going to claim disability discrimination about this brutal and unjust sudden boycott, on behalf of crew #adhd.

Edit: shits and giggles

I both resent and resemble that remark.

I just realized that I could have double-layered the m-dashes there, eh? Missed opportunity. Oh what the hell, I need to prolong lunch break juuust a little bit more, so

I just overuse parantheses instead, as you noted. You know you're rambling when you have several layers of them, like I'm writing a conversation in Lisp.

Ok, you gave a way more reasonable response than the other guy. Thank you for your input; it sucks when something near and dear to you is "taken away" or bastardized in some way.
