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.

-
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.

Eh i dont fully agree but acknowledge there’s space to disagree. It may not be open source in the way that “its GNU-Linux not Linux”; its not copyleft or “Open Source” but it is open source-lowercase o/s. The source code is available, its accessible under a license that allows you to see it and use it in your own projects, with some restrictions — just like the other main open source licenses do, only to a different degree. There is software licensed under Creative Commons noncommercial licenses, eg, even though CC advises against it. The reasoj I’m posting it on this community though is because it’s self hostable more than it’s open sourceness or lack thereof, though.
Open source is an industry term, the code is NOT open, it's available. I can read it. I cannot use it in anything that might net some profit in the future. "open-source" is defined by the OSI here: https://opensource.org/osd/.
