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.

Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

Why is anyone still using plex?

After the last time they fucked over their userbase, jellyfin was created, an open source system that is awesome.

Dump plex, come to jellyfin, we got cookies.

I don’t want your cookies. I want privacy.

Nuh-Uh, you provide the snacks, and the fin provides the juicy content chosen directly by you.

So, really, It gives you choice, and the freedom to choose... and that is what makes America so Great. (This silly remark brought to you by the movie currently streaming over jellyfin: Thank You For Smoking)

Far as I'm concerned, Plex can eat it's dry ass privacy cookies all it wants.

That's illegal

The Jellyfin experience on iOS and Apple TV is not as good as Plex. Hopefully someday that will change.

Probably because those are just as proprietary as plex

Jellyfin was forked when emby went closed source, I don't think it had anything much to do with any specific event at plex

It's been a while now but I remember it happened when Plex forked over their users
