Path to self-hosting

Author: Christos, PRANSHU??? -

-

The biggest disservice I've committed unto my friends (those I successfully swayed over onto 'free software') is not preaching the good word of 'self-hosting' - earlier. -

'Self-hosting' and 'free-software' go hand in hand -

I'm sure Linux users can in a moments notice list all the evil things Microsoft and Apple have done unto mankind but are content with services provided by Google, GitHub etc. -

Now bauherren.ovh has it's own email server, matrix, searx instances -

Work is underway to set up a full git, -

It's never been easier

-

There are a dime-a-dozen quality guides and even dedicated guides like landchad.net that have everything you need to start self-hosting. -

I'll admit it for some nicher things, like setting up an IRC chat bot, goodluck finding an up-to-date guide -

Why self host instead of using discord, gmail, github, etc...

- +

+ Simple — Your interests are not aligned with that of these for-profit + companies. Every now and then, this simple fact manifests in + different ways and goes in your vison, yet, because of the convinence + offered by these platforms, people ignore it. _Every_ single of these + 'free services' have commited unethical acts we choose to ignore, the + list goes on and on and on. +

+ The company might be good at hiding their mis-aligned interests, as is + the case with discord, but the simple fact of knowing their intentions + is living rent-free in the back of your head, maybe even subconsciously + affecting your decisons of usage with these platforms. +

+ Now, there are companies that are focused on making a change, + for example Drew DeVault's sourcehut, and if you are willing + to pay for them you shoud. But if you are like me, and have + more time and less money, just self host already. + +
