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.

Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

That's a big if. Hetzner isn't some tiny piracy haven. it's a well known and very popular German hosting company.

Even if it's popular with those resellers, it's certainly also popular with others.

And Plex has ways to identify the problematic hosts. why don't they just shut those down?

I’m just speculating, but maybe the vast majority of people running on VPS are doing these things. Idk if it’s even allowed in their terms of service.
