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.

I want to get some domains for selfhosted stuff, but I'd like to use a registrar that I won't regret doing business with later, both in terms of ethics and potential customer service stuff. Who do y'all like most?

Well, our discussion didn't go too far off the rails, but it sure escalated with the other commenter. I think this guy just likes to argue.

"I get you don't think it's important, but there's plenty of sysadmins that do, with experience backing that up." Is a passive aggressive remark designed to belittle me based on a notion that you have experience and qualifications over me that makes your point more valid, and also that other people with experience and qualifications would hypothetically agree. It very clearly implicitly claims that I am not a sysadmin and that lacking sysadmin experience is why I am wrong. This does not add to the point at all and provides, so it could not be seen as any other way than an expression of that. However, I still gave you the benefit of doubt and I felt I expressed pretty rationally that that remark does not add to the comment and is disrespectful and that it may have been unintentional to be disrespectful.

But now "I think this guy just likes to argue." and "it sure escalated with the other commenter" is clear evidence that you were just trying to be rude. I certainly don't like to "argue" but much more than that I don't like to be disrespected. So I will stand up for myself and call out such poor behavior.
