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.

Does your university allow you to use VPNs? Do they have any acceptable use policy? It's unlikely they'll care if you download a few cars, but they'll probably get mad if you're just trying to maximize bandwidth used for fun and wonder why you're using so much.
Yeah I just looked up the policy and they specifically list downloading cars as something you shouldn't do. I feel like they're big enough that even if I downloaded 50gb a week it would be a drop in the ocean in their network. I've only got a 500gb limit at home right now so any amount helps. I just suppose it depends if they have alerts on for excess data usage by individuals.... which they probably do.
