Selfhosted

58212 readers

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.

Idea for experiment: mail to fediverse?

@selfhosted

My ambition: having people writing to "username @ domain dot ext" and mail content goes into public, or private, on fediverse "handle @ domain . ext".

Someone already did it? Pros and cons? Disadvantages are more than benefits?

I heard about a trick called "mail2mastodon" but before doing deeper research I first wanted to understand how the effort is, and if it's worth.

Ah, I've purposefully been ignoring US since trump got in. My ignorance isn't an excuse so my bad.

My dad moved to another country on the other side of the earth... Covid is bad, made from baby fetus and will kill me if I get the vaccine.... Supports trump, supports Russia, etc, etc, etc. Believes the earth is flat too. He's a Canadian living in Asia. He's the last fucking person who should have an opinion on this shit.... I still call him, he's my dad, I just hang up on him when he gets going. For that reason and more, I try to avoid most of what's going on down there. I just see red. 7 vaccines in and I'm not dead yet. Wanted the wife to let me tell him that we were recruited to "help make the vaccine" for Canadians but she said it's too far..

Anyway, rant over. My bad and I'm sorry. Will be more careful going forward.

Dude...you're fine. I am assuming you are in another country. It would be like me knowing every last politician in your country and what they are most famous for. Just not going to happen. Hell, it's hard enough keeping up with the crooks we have.
