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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

BTW one of the maintainer forked it so if you need upgrade path, it exists. (at least for now)

Looks interesting.

This part confuses me though:

Tuwunel's theme is empathy in communication defined by the works of Edith Stein.

What does "empathy in communication" have to do with a software project? Are they going to ban people who don't display empathy? If so, isn't that anti-empathetic? I'm kind of confused what this is intended to convey.

I'm all for empathy, don't get me wrong, but ideally software projects are more focused on technical correctness than feels.

What does “empathy in communication” have to do with a software project?

Not having read Stein's work, I can only mostly guess it's related to the emphasis on the "communication" part as it applis to effective communication of duties, milestones, failure modes and reactions in a project. Torvalds's tirades for example were awesome and most of the time well-deserved for the idiot trying to accidentally the kernel, but are quite more of a bummer and a momentum-killer when looked at at a project-wide scope.

(Not) sorry to say, that age has long sailed. Remote teambuilding, capitalism and AI have made it that we now need to actually care and be watchful why or how something is being made to work, on the technical sense. Just look at the situation with Mozilla or Signal (offering systems that can be described as free, but are being offered so in a rather adversarial manner).
