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:

  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.

Absolutely you will be able to. How many previous versions of Windows have exploits that don’t require the user to do anything other than be connected to the Internet for their machine to be compromised?

It's literally happened to every single version of Windows, 10 and below.

If you disable the firewall and AV, sure, you can get in trouble. That’s not following even the most basic online safety steps though.

So windows 8 computers that connect to the Internet just become compromised?
