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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

@just_another_person @bluelion Eh, don't discount inertia. A lot of debian development channels are still active on IRC.
Yeah, but again...habit and effort.
I can't think of a single reason that IRC is still used except for people being too lazy to adopt something else.
People still use it for the same reason we use email... Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine? Anyone who wants to use matrix can set up a bridge, anyway. And I wouldn't consider discord a good alternative.
My point exactly. There are easier and better ways of doing this dated interaction.
If you still don't understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn't make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.
I don't think anyone still recognizes this wisdom you seem to be all about.
Enlightening us with that wisdom would be beneficial to everyone, no?
Quoting my previous comment:
In other words, why "fix" it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain't broke?
Because IRC doesn't "work fine".
It's a 50-year old solution to no modern problems where everything about it has been solved in better ways.
If you aren't willing to give the OP the information he was requesting, why respond at all?
I very much did. Read up.
OP: asks for advice about IRC
just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC
...
just_another_person: why doesn't anyone appreciate how helpful I am?
