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.

Mimicing a thread I saw elsewhere.

I generally use this list to name my machines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythological_objects

For my main server I use loeding: a modified version of Lædingr, a chain forged by Thor to bind and were broken by Fenrir. (Norse Mythology)

You should know that not all clients display your display name, some only show your username@instance.

It's not apparent to everyone that your name is Onno.

Thank you, that's not something I knew, the three clients I've used show both the account and the name.

Edit: This is weird, my current client (Connect) shows the name, but only for my account, not for any other account.
