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:

  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.

Of all the things you could do with your finite existence in this world, you choose to dispute the name of an open source selfhhostable bookmarking app

Legally required to. If you don't protect your trademark, you lose it.

Rebuttal, it's called "hoarder"

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And apple is called Apple.

I didn't say the law is good.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The company trying to enforce the trademark is not called hoarder nor do they have any apps called hoarder.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh good! Then they have no case and will lose.

They did not lose. The maintainer of Hoarder had to rebrand to KaraKeep, hence this post.

They didn't son win either, the dispute is ongoing.

Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn't actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can't trademark words that are in the dictionary like "hoard" or "hoarder", since by definition they have prior art.

Good try, but I don't read MBA hallucinations or AI slop.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, Google is free, you can find the information if you like.

Nah, I chose DDG and got a better result, but thanks!

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

sounds like it's time to fire up the ole AI trollmobile and generate 100k foss projects all using the name "hoarder".

This looks really cool. Can anyone explain to me if a headless chrome browser is dangerous the way a regular chrome browser is? I'm only hesitant because I don't know

[–] 486@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can anyone explain to me if a headless chrome browser is dangerous the way a regular chrome browser is?

Almost. You want to make sure to keep it as up-to-date as you would a regular Chrome browser. It does almost everything a regular Chrome does, including running arbitrary scripts on websites.

[–] ItJustDonn@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Makes sense. The videos I saw about setting it up mentioned a headless chrome browser. But I'm new to self-hosting and didn't know if it had to be chrome or if you could use a better option, since you can use an OLLAMA instead of chatgpt for example

@ItJustDonn @486 Hang on, this runs chromium as root? That seems like a _really_ bad idea. And unnecessary, since there's a hoarder user installed later in the script...

https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/blob/main/hoarder-linux.sh

Screenshot from that shell script, showing that it creates a systemd service called hoarder-browser.service that runs as the root user, and spawns a headless chromium process.
