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.

Ugh why can't you read the article without Javascript? Trying to do that gives you the error message: " You need to enable JavaScript to run this app."
That reminds me. There was a post on Lemmy recently about "graceful degradation". One useful tip from that post was about maintaining a balance with your sites.
DO NOT use Javascript to implement vital content and navigation (especially if you are running a blog or some other information heavy site).
If you do use Javascript, only use it to support 'nice-to-have' features. Good candidates for 'nice-to-have' features would be things that can break, but wouldn't impact the user experience significantly.
Anyways why am I yapping about this? I'm hoping this is read by someone planning to start a website or blog, and that they'll take this into consideration.
Edit: Double ugh. I just noticed they used an LLM to write a 5 minute article. Dude literally left em dashes and kept the grammar the same. You can't make this shit up.
Are we at war with em dashes now? —? I'm starting to feel like the only person who actually knows how to type them on a keyboard.
They are one of several signs of LLM writing. That said if you've always used them then you do you
Edit: To the idiots who downvoted me: The article's author literally mentions that he used AI to write it, so it isn't speculation on my part. That said, my point still stands: em dashes are just one of several tell-tale signs of LLM writing. See here, here, and here.
Obviously, AI picked this up from writers who used the em dash. However, ChatGPT uses it excessively and so now it is a sign of its writing. Practically speaking you should avoid it in your future writing, since no one really cares if it is a false positive or not.
Final Edit: I see replies stating that from people who've been using it for years who don't want to stop because LLM's appropriated it. I already left a Lemmy comment here that more-or-less goes over why you should care about optics (especially when writing in an activist adjacent space), but what do I know 🤷
I'm not going to let LLMs enstupidify my writing.
I'll continue using en dashes and em dashes — they're very easy to type on macos, iOS, and Android.
Alright then. If you were always using them correctly then you do you
