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:

  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.

I sure hope there isn't a rm -rf floating around in there somewhere.. kind of like a certain past incident with major gaming client.

In the Steam Linux client, there was this line: rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/"*.

If the variable $STEAMROOT isn't defined (or is an empty string), it basically runs rm -rf "/"*, which means delete all subfolders of /.
