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.

Lol, I often get a lot of confirmations on if my email address is right whenever I am in contact with any customer service... I use a catch-all on lastname[dot]com.
"Is your email really 'nameofservice@lastname•com'?"
Glad to see I'm not the only one doing this. It definitely leads to a lot of small talk about my email domain, but I've never run into a situation yet where I couldn't sign up for something. My personal favorite is when reluctantly providing an email for something I don't care about I can spout out something like "[email protected]". That's lead to some fun reactions.
I’ve run into services that won’t let you use the name of their service in your email. They assume it’s is their email because they don’t look for
.*@servicename\.com$they look for.*servicename.*.Or maybe it is a feeble attempt to annoy people that sign up with
[email protected]and then sort it into different inboxes (of course you can filter on other things but + is built into gmail). You can also use it to see who sold your info when you get spam on that adress.Makes sense. The one that pops into mind is Auvik, and I was trying to register as [email protected].
