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.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I'm sure the mods will let me know.

Memories. LOL Things were so simple way back then it seems.

Did anyone host a BBS? I found this article kind of funny about 'fixing' WIndows by C:\FORMAT C:. Some things don't change. LOL

My first encounter with a computer was the Altair. then the Timex/Sinclair, then I think a couple in between, then TI 99-4a full setup, then one of just about each since then. It's been a wild and crazy ride. I can't keep up, the technology is moving at a lightening fast pace.
