Oh also is there a #selfhosted calendar app that’s kinda like calendly? I really just want to self host everything as soon as reasonably possible.

The best way to reclaim your privacy is to own the infrastructure.

I migrated my email to a hardened FreeBSD setup. Encrypted at rest via ZFS, isolated via Jails, and owned by me. Not a data-mining giant.

If you want to build your own communication hub, here is the blueprint:

Para gestionar y guardar páginas web de referencia interesantes, de momento he estado usando como aplicación autoalojada, #linkwarden , pero como recientemente he empezado a usar #koreader he visto que tiene integración nativa con #wallabag y me tienta poder leerme artículos guardados directamente en el ebook más allá de lo que estoy compartiendo por un RSS específico.

¿Merece la pena cambiar? A los que autoalojais, ¿Qué applicación preferís?

The weirdest part of self-hosting isn't the control, it's the silence.
I logged into my dashboard tonight via the tunnel. No banner ads. No
"suggested content" algorithms designed to doomscroll me. No tracking pixels firing off to a data broker in Utah, lol.
Just my tools, sitting there, waiting.
We really forgot what the internet feels like when it isn't trying to extract value from us every single second. It’s quiet here. I like it.

Terminal Tilt is exactly 58 subscribers away from the 1K milestone and monetization.

In case you are new to my channel, welcome! As a disabled queer creator, I know how often our voices are drowned out by corporate "ai" sludge. Terminal Tilt is a space where I can speak authentically, fight for digital sovereignty, and show that there is a place for us in the technical world.

I started it because I like to watch YouTube and I often search for Linux videos. I find it infuriating that 90% of the videos have "ai" generated voices, graphics, and scripts. I want to learn new things, not have unoriginal ideas regurgitated to me by bots. Terminal Tilt is a strictly Non-AI channel focused on ethical computing, promoting #FOSS, and providing a direct alternative to the Big Tech surveillance machine. I respect your time and your sovereignty. Lets build a community together!

If you believe in a web where the user is in control and their privacy respected, and our technology does not have to destroy the planet, help me cross the finish line today.

I have some great stuff in the pipeline, such as reviews for security hardware, quick looks and installations of GNU/Linux distributions , and discussions on the state of computing.

I am also improving quickly. Every video has been a learning experience and I am very open to constructive criticism.

My newest video from earlier today: 5 Extensions for Real Digital Independence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA9FjlZMJBQ

My most popular video (90k+ views): The Windows Exodus Has Begun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLzdTgCXyRU

I also post videos to PeerTube here: https://gnulinux.tube/c/terminaltilt/videos

Every boost helps us show that independent, human created tech content has a place in 2026.

About Bluesky and federation:
Edit: There might be some mistakes, and my information could be outdated, but the point still stands - Bluesky wasn't built on 100% federation from the start.

I've been wondering about Bluesky's decentralization again. I can't think of any reason why I'd want to self-host Bluesky in its current form. I cannot 100% self host "my own Bluesky".

Their main selling points for building their own protocol were easier migration and better discoverability, but right now there's no simple way to migrate my Bluesky account to my own instance. And hosting the centralized parts yourself isn't really possible, or if it were, not affordable, they haven't made that feasible, by design, it seems.

Even if you self-host a PDS, Bluesky's Relay only indexes up to 10 accounts from it. You can run more, but they won't federate, the central infrastructure decides what gets seen. They control this (source: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation#:~:text=For%20a%20smooth%20transition%20into,for%20everyone%20in%20the%20ecosystem.). You can self-host a PDS (Personal Data Server), but you still depend on Bluesky's centralized Relay and AppView. There's no production-ready alternative infrastructure from what I gather.

It feels like I'd be renting a room in a hotel that someone else is running anyway, when I want my own hotel.

If Mastodon gGmbH vanishes tomorrow, my instance keeps running and federating with everyone else. If Bluesky PBC vanishes, the ecosystem would need to scramble to stand up replacement infrastructure that doesn't really exist yet.

ATProto keeps getting evaluated on its promises while other systems get evaluated on their merits. The "portability" selling point depends on infrastructure that isn't mature enough to actually catch you if Bluesky falls.

I trust W3C, the builders and fathers of the World Wide Web, ActivityPub and the Fediverse.

Congrats to the participants of the first edition of Cloudbreak! It was an intense and intensely rewarding 6hrs. Every participant finished with a tightly-secured and very capable #selfhosted cloud server all of their own, complete with video conferencing and collab doc editing, on fast EU infrastructure and running atop renewable energy. Proud of you lot I am.

Bluesky is not to be trusted. It is just Twitter, bit delayed.
