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.

Open source way to connect your devices together. I just got it and it seems pretty dope. Anyone used this, or something similar before?

It's gimped for me because it insists on using an insecure sftp algorithm, so I cannot use the file system browser to transfer files to/from my Android 13 devices. It probably can't access the root anyway. I want to use it for backing up my device files, especially the Android folder.

Everything else seems to work though.

It can't do that. You give it an empty folder and that folder is sync'd.

KDE Connect utilizes SSHFS in order to securely and wirelessly mount your Android device's file system to your computers. You will be able to browse all of the files on your device via your preferred file manager whether that be Dolphin, Nemo, Nautilus, Thunar, etc.

That's nice, but since android 11 you can't do that anymore.

Because of the encryption algorithms, mostly.
