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.

Reboot? Since when does Linux need a reboot? I've been thinking about migrating from FreeBSD to Linux, but now I am confused.

It has always needed a reboot when it comes to kernel or init. Same applies to BSDs.

You mean when you update the kernel? No one updates init on BSDs. This is mostly a entire world upgrade. But I'd never reboot from cron. My servers run 100 days without a reboot on average. In most cases there is no reason to update world, only the packages.

Keeping your kernel updated is definitely recommend

Of course, but I can see and understand what is patched and can see if I'm affected or not. In the previous version I haven't been affected for 500 days.
