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.

Weird feeling about this. $5-$20 flat fee sounds like a lower price than what I'd imagine donations would bring. I imagine most who would donate would give at least $5-20, and then some would subscribe monthly. The dev team is obviously gonna get funding from Eron for now which would likely be higher today than what they get in donations.
grayjay is not foss
The only thing I can see in their License that would make it non-free is the non-commercial redistribution part of it, which is not that bad
it is. It prevents people from forking it an making their own versions and then distrubuting it. That is not foss,just source availible.
It doesn't though? IANAL but as far as I can tell you can fork, modify and redistribute it as long as you provide the source code to your users.
It's AGPL-3.0 so.... https://www.tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-affero-general-public-license-v3-agpl-3-0
That guy was talking about grayjay, a Client to follow creators on multiple platforms at the same time. Grayjay isn't licensed under AGPL, but instead it uses the FUTO Temporary License. It technically still counts as source available, but I think the NC-Part is okay to have. AGPL would be nicer though especially bc of this.
Which might be there to prevent legal troubles from YouTube.
Me too, I subbed for monthly.
The one thing I can see FUTO can do is provide capital up front for developers to work which could be recouped over time as more users begin to use and pay for the software. That makes sense and in a competent, not neoliberal economy, the government might have a fund doing something like that. What I'm a bit worried about is that this might not be all Eron's up to. But again, we'll take his money when he gives it, so long as the work is open source. And we'll see where we end up in a few years. 😅
Germany has a fund like that, GNOME just recently got a grant of about 1M Euros to improve features and provide better accessibility
