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.

Is there any open-source project that serves the same purpose of Duolingo that can be self-hosted? (lemmy.ml)

Or perhaps a self-hosteable webapp i could add the words myself from curated sources on the internet to then do quizzes on it?

25 or so years ago, I learnt Esperanto (my first second language) by chatting on the Internet. I'd have two windows open - one with the IRC client, and the other with a terminal and a shell script that would grep a txt file with consistent formatting. "esp esperantoVerbPrefix/" or "esp noun," or "esp affix-" would typically return the correct result in a split second. Thanks to the simple grammar (that I had quickly memorized), I could hold conversations in near real time as a result.

I wish I could have learnt my other languages as easily.

Inspired by xkcd's thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.

I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.

It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.

Not self-hosted but Language Transfer is pretty awesome.

Anki ?

Anki is amazing, but it's not self hosted without some effort.

https://github.com/LuckyTurtleDev/docker-images/tree/main/dockerfiles/anki

start with env var sync_user1=username:password or something like that

change server url in anki desktop or ankidroid to what you started in docker

done

That seems pretty straightforward if you have experience with that stuff, I don't have that experience.

This is how experience gained if you don't have mentor, the only way to gain experience in that case is FAFO
