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.

Yeah dropping Nat is the biggest net benefit I agree but I think the avg person won't really find that much value in it when Nat works ok

And the average person is going to be using it without knowing. And never complain or anything.

NAT works fine until you get stuck on CGNAT and can't host anything on IPv4 without using a VPN.

Meh, nothing a VPN and a 3 bucks a month VPS can't solve...

yells at cloud in IPv4

I thankfully have never had the misfortune of cgnat

Yet.

As IPv4 blocks get scarcer and ISP's get more customers, they'll all eventually have to move to IPv4 CGNAT.

And that's completely fine for most people.

If you're not one of those people, then IPv6 is your saviour.
