3 months agoThanks for the long reply. I will start out my self hosting journey with some simple applications like silver bullet or something. Then after gaining more info, will try to host something for the public
[Please give some suggestions for simple selfhostable applications]
The aim of private frontends are to limit the data being sent to their actual counterparts (eg Redlib for redddit or piped for y.t). This includes mapping usage patterns to respective IP addresses. If I am the sole user of a self hosted service, then cloud providers and big corps could easily do that.
