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.

Okay, fair point, let me rephrase: if someone knows what kernel (admin) level execution means, and installs a game that requires this on a computer where they keep important data, they are a dumbass mtherfcker :) Generally speaking though: most people shouldn't be allowed to use technology - humans are unbelievably stupid for the most part.

Kernel level and admin level is not the same thing. For example on windows, you can't really write your own kernel driver, and on Linux even root can't do everything if capabilities have been revoked.

For the purpose of protecting important data, the distinction really doesn't matter. And the good old xkcd comic has a point - for many people, all relevant data is in the user's accessible storage area anyways. Hence me running almost all internet applications and steam in a jail.
