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.

Hold on a tick.
Specifically blacklisting a group of users because of the technology they use is, by definition, "targeting", right? I mean, if not, what qualifies as "targeting" for you?
And, yeah. Posting a sign saying "No Nazi symbolism is allowed in this establishment" is - I would claim - targeting Nazis. Same as posting a sign, "no blacks allowed" - you're saying that's not targeting?
I know we're arguing definitions and have strayed from the original topic, but I think this is an important point to clarify, since you took specific objection to my use of it in that context; and because I'm being pedantic about it.
You may be right. I guess it's a matter of semantics. But the way you described it sounded more nefarious. "I'll target this group of VPN users because fuck them, I hope they all die in a tsunami!!!!" when it's more like "ugh, another VPN bot. The 9th this hour and I'm hungry. You know what - I'll just block VPN altogether and go fix me a sandwich." Maybe that's just my perception.
But anyway - it's Joe Blogger's machine, at his home, for him to do whatever he likes. Some rando from the street knocks on the door and says "excuse me, do you mind if I send an e-mail from your computer?" Joe Blogger can perfectly say no, not even an excuse is owed.
You'd have a point if it was a business or a corporation. Some home machine? Out of billions? Why bother?
I guess we're two pedantic folks. I enjoy these discussions. I sometimes gain some new knowledge out of them.
