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.

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

Tired of streaming services dictating my music discovery, I resurrected an old internet relic to reclaim my listening experience.

Interesting. My method for finding new or similar music to what I have in my library is to use TasteDive. Crowd-Sourced, so you get a 'real world' recommendation. It can be a little bit of work, but I find it quite effective. TasteDive also works for movies and a lot of other things. It does have an API tho I've never explored that side. I'm not sure what software would interface with their API.

Oooh, this is new to me. I'm going to give TasteDive a look. Thanks!

You bet. I am a huge music fan. I create it, I listen to it, from Opera to Death Metal and anything in between. My heart belongs to Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, and Funk tho.

I also hopped back into ListenBrainz and Last.fm within the last year. Exactly like you said--they're not trying to sell something, so it was interesting to go back and see just how much that influences the recommendations.

The suggestions are better, I'm building up a local library again, and not paying for Spotify. What's not to love?
