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.

The solution for capitalism-out-of-control is not more capitalism. The less big money players in the fediverse the better.
Mozilla is a non profit. The most "capitalist" they get is the Mozilla Corp a company owned by the foundation which is basically just for tax purposes. Having a big player in the fediverse helps.
They are funded by Google. I much prefer the "some random guys or whoever will fork their code" model of software for this sort of thing.
Google pays them to be the default search engine, they're not funded by Google.
Isn't that their main source of revenue?
The rights to search sure are, but it's more like Google happens to be the one paying it right now. It could be Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone.
Mozilla definitely needs to diversity better here, but the implication that they're "funded by google" is completely misleading.
I don't buy that what they are paid reflects the value of their search rights. Google has antitrust interest in the continued existence of Firefox, that's why they would pay them, doesn't matter what they say it's for.
Amen. Everything google touches turns to shit. Everything.
What we need is a bunch of small groups and companies. It isn't a problem if there isn't a giant centralization of power.
