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.

Seems that the Swiss legislature may pass a law requiring ProtonVPN to start banning certain domains from being access by French users (mostly illegal sports streaming sites)

For those using ProtonVPN, is the writing on the wall?

I don't know if it's the same law but they've already said they'd move countries, anywhere with laws suitable for the service

Would they really though? Being in Switzerland is a huge part of their brand and marketing.

The only reason it's part of their branding because Switzerland is notoriously respectful of privacy. If they stop being that then that's no longer a selling point.

I don't know how to answer that.

I believe "notorious" is used in negative contexts, and was curious why Switzerland being respectful of privacy would be a bad thing.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

no, that's not what notorious means. It just means a lot of people know about it.

From Merriam-Webster:

especially : widely and unfavorably known

[–] Wobble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You skipped the first definition.

generally known and talked of

[–] s38b35M5@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah. The word really just breaks down to, "having been noticed widely."
