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 like the idea of simple apps, but does their website have to have that silly dvd bouncing thing obstructing text? Especially since it starts playing sound if you interact with it wrong.

Something seriously ironic about pushing stupidly simple appels while having ridiculous bloated crap like that on the webpage. I immediately closed it out before getting a chance to read anything. On mobile that stupid bouncer takes up like a quarter of the width of my screen and why the hell is it the most foreground object???

Their site works fine without allowing javascript, that way it turns into quite a simple thing too!

Thank you, I was so confused as to what the other comments were talking about. I have js turned off by default.

This is hilarious, I love it. I know a lot of us take for granted that we can whip something like these up on the fly but there’s plenty of people who could use a nice little resource like this!

Reminds me of the suckless project, but for web stuff.

[–] A_norny_mousse@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Except every app depends on Node.js

Who watched the DVD icon for at least 2 turns?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's this DVD icon? Maybe my ad blocker is blocking it?

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It seems they changed the website, it doesn't exist anymore.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

It was there this morning, gone now. I guess they're reading these comments.

Wow that is dumb.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I could really use some of these. There’s a video showing what they look like for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUxcMQ4MKK4&pp=ygULRHVtYndhcmUuaW8%3D

[–] bradd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I love the idea, the apps look useful and I am stoked to check them out. Can anyone contribute?

What is 'end-to-end encrypted' about dumbdrop? I ran a quick test by running docker run -p 3000:3000 -c /private/tmp/dumbdrop:/app/uploads dumbwareio/dumbdrop:latest

Opened localhost:3000 and uploaded a file.

A copy of that file is now sitting, unencrypted in /tmp/dumbdrop. Searched the documentation for the work encrypt and found nothing.
