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:
-
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.

I guess I just don't get how you have share with "large" group of people and private and secure? I mean, pastebin anyway had a timeout. And the paaster github even says you have to run your own instance for security and privacy. If I'm running my own server, I presumably don't need to encrypt my data from myself. If I am running my own server, and the security is explicitly the link, it's not actually secure because the link grants access. But that's to be expected, anything more and you get into needing to authenticate everyone, which is the exact opposite of easy or quick.
And for anything I'm concerned enough about to not share with the internet - I wouldn't be posting on a game lobby or forum. Or I mean, if I trust the forum privacy, why not just... idk... post the text content to the forum?
My issue here isn't that I don't see the need for a pastbin sort of service, my issue is I think for the vast majority of usecases you've listed and I can imagine, you're getting security theater, not actual security and privacy.
