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.

Tell me you don’t share a net with Macs without using those words.
Macs aren’t the only thing that use mDNS, either. I have a host monitoring solution that I wrote that uses it.
mDNS hasn’t been a just-Apple thing for decades. Do you still call it Ren-dess-voos like the Gaston character in Beauty and the Beast?
Even on windows sometimes depending on the target host, I’ve had to type host.local. (Final dot to do exact match) instead of host.local
This didn’t seem to affect other domains. I’m assuming it was due to special handling of .local
