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:

  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.

There have been users spamming CSAM content in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.

I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command: sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec shred {} \;

Note: Your local jurisdiction may impose a duty to report or other obligations. Check with these, but always prioritize ensuring that the content does not continue to be served.

Update

Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.

You think a company that is posed to go public is going to attack a competitor with a minuscule amount of traffic with extremely illegal material that could put them in prison for even having?

See, I don’t believe this was done by a large corp. But all the DDoSing that’s happened? I can see u/spez orchestrating that.

Lemmy isn’t a threat to Reddit. It’s the same old trolls doing it like every other time.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t think they do see it as a threat, I just think spez is petty enough and juvenile enough to do it.

Like, again, I pretty solely think it’s spez’s own personal ego shit. For example, he could have just shutdown the API. Instead, he had a weeks-long meltdown including committing libel against a developer. Someone like Zuckerberg doing this doesn’t make any sense to me, but I can totally see spez being exactly that kind of petty.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He’s have to acknowledge Lemmy being a threat, which it’s not, and which his ego won’t allow anyway. The simplest answer is the best.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

agree to disagree?

Reddit? No. I was thinking moreso Meta. They have the deeper pockets and a proven track record of breaking privacy laws to their own benefit.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s even worse. Meta probably doesn’t even know what Lemmy is.

[–] fsmacolyte@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So then why was Meta trying to get Threads to be on the Fediverse? Of course they're aware of any potential threats, no matter how small.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why reinvent the wheel if someone’s just going to hand you the backend? Lemmy is no threat to them.

[–] fsmacolyte@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The threat is a new sustainable community that's sheltered from advertising that people could leave Factbook/Instagram/whatever and go to.

[–] orizuru@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

Meta was talking about adding Mastodon federation to their Threads app. So I very much doubt it.

They'd probably take an Embrace, Expand, Extinguish approach.

You would pay a third party to do it. And keep details extremely vague so you have plausible deniability.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Just No, it’s nonsense.
