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.

I’ve actually done this for a Microsoft owned IP before. Someone was Wordpress-scanning a particularly fragile application of one of my clients (which was not Wordpress) which was causing it to fall over. The scan stopped within an hour of sending the abuse email.
Edit to add: I used to work in a NOC for a tier 1 ISP. We had an “abuse department” (a couple people) that investigated these and opened tickets with the NOC. I’ve emailed customers and disconnected circuits as a result of abuse emails, so I wouldn’t say they’re totally useless, but I’m sure it depends on the company involved.
Wait, what? To their abuse@microsoft.com or whatever email (whatever's listed in whois)?
I've had Azure IPs absolutely hammering my VoIP server and absolutely none of the reports I sent were even acknowledged. Ended up just blocking the entire Azure CIDR range in the firewall.
AWS, OTOH, got back to me within about an hour and a resolution within 3.
Yep! Just for whatever the abuse contact was in whois. Could have been coincidence, or maybe just whoever was on shift in Azure town at the time. I don’t remember if I got a response or not from MS.
