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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Y'all need to learn to cache things, shiit
This is not how things work on the modern web. Did you just wake up from a 20 year coma?
Whenever you’re browsing even a semi popular website these days there’s probably a 98% chance you’re hitting a cloudflare cached version of it. Have you been asleep the last 10 years?
For static sites, yes. To actually protect dynamic sites against AI crawlers, Cloudflare has to do much more than just caching.
And besides that, Cloudflare is a huge single point of failure and highly privacy invasive.
Dynamic sites still get cached.
Cloudflare definitely is a huge single point of failure, and it is a huge problem imo - but what can we do? Their product is so widely used because of how comprehensive, good, and necessary it is.
There is cache but for some reason this does not affect every page I serve currently
Fix the cache.
