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 still haven't heard a convincing argument to not use .local and I see no reason to stop.

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mainly conflicts with mDNS. However it's shitty IMHO that the mDNS spec snarfed a domain already in widespread use, should have used .mDNS or similar.

[–] xcjs@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

That I agree with. Microsoft drafted the recommendation to use it for local networks, and Apple ignored it or co-opted it for mDNS.

.local is already used by mDNS/Zeroconf.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You mean mDNS/Zeroconf are using a tld that was already being used.

My main issue was it doesn’t play well with Macs.

Tell me you don't share a net with Macs without using those words.
