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.

Seems the attitude against it is "I just don't like it".
If someone keeps getting the captcha interstitial, it's probably because they've configured their browser to turn off things like JavaScript and cookies. This makes them different from a regular user, and can either break a site due to missing requirements, or makes them look like a bot, which Cloudflare will block.
(Most) Bots don’t do JavaScript — because that’d require an entire new engine on the client end, which consumes some resources; resources that they’d rather use to do more bottling. By turning off cookies and JavaScript, the “privacy conscious” user is making themselves look like bots. Vast majority of site operators doesn’t want bots, so they employ mechanisms to detect bots to prevent bots from accessing their site… so if users make themselves look like bots, and operators don’t want bots, then the users must be prepared to deal with the repercussions of their actions (of disabling JS and cookies).
