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.

This sounds like a fun project to be honest. Are there any risks involved by getting bad content through federation that’s out of your control?
Just a week or so ago I read an article about a guy running a tor exit node personally and being held responsible for the traffic
If you block porn-related instances suchas lemmynsfw and pornlemmy, you'll drastically reduce your chance of getting CSAM contents on your instance. Not saying those instances promotes that kind of stuff, but many dubious instances (the ones with kiddie/doll banners) federate with them, and might post bad stuff when the mods aren't looking.
If you're still super worried about it, you can host your instance behind cloudflare and enable their CSAM scanning tool.
Has anybody managed to get CyberTipline credentials for the CSAM scanning tool? I filled out their form and never heard back.
You're supposed to contact them at [email protected] in order to start the enrollment process, and it seems the service is only for US-based operators.
I did that, but never heard back, and I am US-based... very odd. Thanks for your reply!
These kind of organizations usually take their time when responding email, and certainly not on weekend.
It's been more than a week, otherwise I'd think the same thing.
