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.

From Discord

Copy this to custom CSS in the adminpanel and the license banner is gone:

.license-status{
display:none !important;
}

It is possible to set the status to licensed too vua the database, but I didn't try it.

I hope it will only be this banner. Kavita has had a donation button too and 2 updates further it was a floating button. The whole thing about licensing is heavily discussed on Discord.

I just hope they don't destroy this beautiful product.

Immich joined FUTO, and FUTO's model is that their stuff costs money but if you haven't paid you're not restricted.

A bit weird but they (FUTO) are trying to experiment with a new model.

FUTO is the same organization that doesn't believe in Foss. The want one creator to have power over users. I don't think that model is going to work out.

That's not quite their position. They believe the OSI decides what counts as Open Source based on what benefits big tech who fund them. Basically, they think it's wrong to argue that something cannot be considered open source unless Google is allowed to use the free labour of contributers without restriction or payment.

They talk more about it here and here.

Personally I don't have a side in this fight but nothing I have seen has made me shy away from using their products.

Tbh it's the English language that decides what counts as Open Source. Free/Open Source software has been established for decades at this point. It's good that they changed the name to "Source First".

I think that better wording would be "the organization that doesn't believe that foss solves every problem". For project like immich AGPL is completely fine but for the android keyboard it might not be a good idea to allow Google to use it to abuse their customers.

It isn't open source or free software. There software prevents you from having the same rights as the parent organization. You can't fork the project if there is a big development shift you don't like so it is effectively proprietary.

Yes you can, you just cant change the payment links

Sorry I though you were talking about Grayjay.

[–] ShortN0te@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep and eventually there will be a paid proprietary version. That's usually how it goes. I hope I am wrong.

They promised at least that's not how they're going to do this, at least. But in the end, it's easy to backpaddle on these promises.

Still: you can always fork the project.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who is? That's the problem with forks. They always divide the community into slices

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't think that there'll be a community for a project that turned proprietary.
