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.

As someone who has very little experience with ActivityPub but is always interested in learning more, what's the risk of "burn"ing a domain? Does it come from certs or signatures changing on the same domain, causing it to no longer be accepted or something?
it's partly because everything has public/private certificates, but also partly because there isn't much synchronization going on after the initial "push". if you shut an instance down and modify the database directly without informing other instances (say, you remove an account) then other instances will not be able to tell and will drift out of date, essentially making that specific thing unusable for any instance that has previously interacted with it. if you expand that out to, say, wiping and re-creating an entire database, then you end up with so much uncertainty that you may as well start over from a fresh domain
