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.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

I was very excited when I started seeing QR codes gaining popularity. That excitement was quickly shattered when everyone just started using them improperly and they just made everything more annoying 😮‍💨

What exactly is “improper use”?

Putting simple things behind a qrwall. I once went to a presentation and they had that qr code to scan to get the certificate, and I went there without my phone, so I got no certificate (I needed it for academic bureaucracy). restaurants with qr-only menus also come to mind. Oh, I also saw once a school with the timetables mural with just qrs and nothing else written, so if new students didn't have a phone AND mobile internet, they couldn't find by themselves where and when their classes took place

Lots of people use Lemmy via mobile. How am I supposed to scan a QR code?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Print it out and scan it. Use a barcode reader. Use another mobile. Upload it to a barcode decoder website.

Or I could just scroll past it and not give them the time of day because they were too lazy to post a link, you know, the primary method for navigating the internet for decades now. Why the need to overly complicate things?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You could have done that, but here we are.

Point being, if you can't be arsed to do the bare minimum and post a fucking link, why should anyone give your post a second look?

Basically anytime it's not printed
