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.

Are you trolling? If you think of a white person, why would an American, with an entirely different set of experiences and culture not think of something else? How is acknowledging an atrocity by our own government against poor blacks a bad thing? Is the goal of this project to have people use it? If so, they should reconsider the name.
Ok? acknowledge it to yourself all you want, don't impose it on others who have nothing to do with it, and ESPECIALLY do not try to guilt trip them, what do you not understand?
It's this kind of shit that killed reddit, assholes just scanning their feeds all day long trying to find some word or sentence they might find offensive hoping someone else will care too and join their "grand crusade".
Meanwhile actual content got drowned out in the noise.
Like holy fuck this thread is a prime example of this, instead of discussing the featureset, functionalities or tips&tricks it turned into a shitty ass redditlike offtopic racism rant arena.
Dude, We're trying to be helpful. Calling your program CrackPipe is just going to smother it in the crib. Words and phrases have connotations and associations. We're just saying that naming your program this particular name is going to turn people off to it before they even see what it is. I know, I've seen it happen. It's literally happening right now.
Reddit isnt dead, and what "killed" it was API changes and a greedy CEO. Astounding that you think "Hey this name could be offensive in a large english speaking market" is a crusade when it is in fact a discussion about the actual content lol.
Except it's literally not, the "content" in question is the title crackpipe - a crack is a modified binary/library permitting the execution of software without authorization, a pipe is terminology used to describe communication between programs on a surface level - yet you and others instead saw "black dude smoking crack". So you're discussing "actual content" which doesn't exist anywhere but some misplaced idea.
So i guess the issue is complete inability to infer context?
I know what cracked software is. Surely the creators did not mean the name as a double-entendre right? They surely wouldn't like to know that it alienates a portion of the user base... Open source software is not inclusive... right?
You're the only one outraged and on a crusade. Pipe down. ;)
Outraged nah, just annoyed at seeing the garbage start here too, let's just stop and let's focus on the content aight, no "what if's" or "what coulds" if someone doesn't outright come and state something then there's nothing to discuss, just like we (or at least i) used to in the good 2000 before the quality of online communities went to shit (:
