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.

My goals for this firewall were mostly to provide better robot blocking and perhaps some more powerful DDoS protection than my Raspberry Pi 3 web server is capable of delivering. I still have to do some testing before I will know if my new firewall actually provides either of those, but at least I now have the additional ability to run multiple physical web servers on my LAN. Exploring that should be fun, and fun is a very important component of running a home web server.

Not my article. Just sharing.

I absolutely love the term clankers. It's the perfect blend of dystopian cyberpunk and the very real threat of AI.

It seems goofy to me — I wish we had collectively picked a term with more oomph.

I’m struggling to come up with an alternative though.

I'm still trying to make 'sloppers' happen. Perfectly describes the lack of thought that goes into what they produce.

I like 'sloppers' as a term for the morons distrubing and consuming the shit that the clankers are excreting.
