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.

If there's an article with words, can you pass it along? I'm not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.

Life's too short to listen to people who talk slow.

GMaps -> car GPS

What? No. OSM or literally anything else than a fucking car. Stars and sextant.

Because traffic data can't be obtained without some tracking...

In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.

Great info so that's why non popular japaneese car app is working great for him

I think it would be cool to do some sort of p2p network

Either way the problem isn't with the technology, but with how many people in a road junction is using that software.
