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.

Find chess here on limewire. Link expires in one week.

Building upon the principles of my chat application, this is another implementation to push the limits of what's possible inside the termux environment.

This script includes all the pieces needed to run a world wide accessable chess game from your pocket. While the implementation of chess isn't perfect by any means, it has been a great learning expirence to figure out all the little parts of what makes a interactive webserver tick.

For testing, I did implement cloudflared within the script just to see if I can host to the clearnet as well. It worked!

The TL, DR version of sharing with No License, is that technically speaking you are not explicitly permitting others to use your code in any way, just allowing them to look, a license is a formal way to give permissions to others to copy, modify, or use your code.

You don't need an extra file for the license, you can embed it on a section at the top of your file, as you did with the description, just add a # License section at the very top, if you want the most permissive one you can just use MIT, just need to replace the year of publication of the code, and you can use a pseudonym/username like 'hereforawhile@lemmy.ml' if you don't want to use something like email, username on another site or real name, that can be used to identify you, if that's a concern

It didn't used to be this way. You used to apply for copyright like a patent. Rich people stole content from poor artists that didn't have the lawyers to file copyright. This broken system has been reformed. Nowadays, if you create something, you automatically own the copyright. You now have to "opt out" of copyright with an explicit license to "release" the rights. Much better system.

Yet enforcing your copyright is exclusive to the rich. I had to move off of GitHub because of Microsoft infringing my code licenses and selling them as "GitHub Copilot", and I have no way of fighting back/recover my losses.
