- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

unless it's self-hosted (or hosted by a trustworthy friend who's realky into privacy)
I m sick all self hosted bullshit,do u really think everyone have that much spare time to spare on such bullshit.
Quite some people do, so it's great such options exist.
My own gripe is with self-hosted apps that don't need a server to begin with.
Why do I have to run a server to manage my bookmarks? Write down recipes? Control available stock? Manage finances?
All that can be done via local-first apps that may then have some backup functionality (or have files in one place so I could sync them). Adding a server layer only adds complexity and forces me to keep it on or toggle every time, affecting performance and battery life.
Its not really option to begin with,and idk why some people are delusional that their file would be more secure on a server that is poorly maintained.surely you can have basic sense of privacy in it but it would be delusional to say they are secure.carrying a memory card or basic pen drive is better than all of this bullshit,and have a large hdd storage at home for files u don't need on daily basis.
If you self host it on your local network, who gives a fuck about security outside of physical security and encryption? You won't have to worry about hackers since it's not connected to the internet.
