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.

Its mostly that due to licensing issues it can't be included in the Linux kernel like btrfs and thus is prone to breaking at very in-opportune times.

IMHO both are fine, but btrfs is more hassle free and good enough (tm) for hobby self-hosters.

He's talking about kernel taint. That is annoying in Linux.
