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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If you want people to take you seriously about being open source, you need to have a git repo, like github, gitlab, etc. you can even self host one. Heck, you can even use a different (non git) DVCS, but not just a link to a cloud drive...
No I don't need to have a git repo, if someone can't take something that's not on a VCS serious it is there problem, not mine
I let the code speak for itself
Do you think no one took Linux serious because Linus uploaded it to a FTP? It is how a lot of code always have been released
yeah.... no. red flags galore. Why should anyone trust you if you don't trust version control.
Using Linus as an example is interesting... Who the fuck do you think created git?
If you don't want to use github, that's fine, you have sr.ht, and https://savannah.gnu.org/ as good (and libre free options)
Code smells and maturity are signals people use to determine if they want to use/fork/work on a project. Not having source control is a great way to give yourself a headache over time.
I never said anyone should trust anything, in fact I believe no one should trust me, that is why there are no binaries included, just raw sources to examine and compile yourself
I'm fully aware of that he also created git, over a decade after, and it has nothing to do with the trusting of Linux, in fact Linux huge size and interest was the reason he created git, it was well trusted long before git, so your point is garbage
Garbage in - Garbage Out
I look forward to the next version of your project called tup_new, tup_usethisone, tup_fixed_fixed_fixed
You obviously didn't even look at the links this time so you won't probably care for the next either
I did, i saw you had you unlicense in the root directory, that you had md files dotted around which tells me you ARE using a source control system internally, or at least with lots of domain experience of using one.
Oh jeez, md files are proof that I use source control internally?
No I don't, but you are free to believe that
I've got experience with them ofc, would that be a reason I must use one every time?
not proof, but a indicator...
Anyway, since your aware of the use of version control I find your anti-versioning stance perplexing, but regardless, you created a open source thing, making the world a better place, thank you for that.
