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.

Great idea. My poor mans version idea was an encrypted data set inside another encrypted data set to require two people, but Shamir's seems like a much better option.
I'm still a bit split on this. And whether the complexity and reliability is good enough for the use case... I mean if you don't need N-out-of-M, but it's just two people: cut a password or key in half. Same if it's N-out-of-N people, you just need to make some puzzle pieces and hand them out, we don't really need encryption and fancy maths for that. But I guess encrypting something would work, too. Just use a program or algorithm that's likely still around when it's going to be used. And you can always add a sheet of paper or PDF with instructions. Maybe save the executable file to to decrypt it somewhere if the solution requires software.
