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.

I wonder if McAfee changing their name to Trellix to escape how much the general public hates them will work better than Comcast rebranding as Xfinity.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

The general public doesn't hate McAfee that much, so I'd bet it'll work. Heck, I work in IT and I didn't even know about the rebrand (mostly because I engage with McAfee as little as possible).

probably about as well as Twitter becoming "X, formerly known as Twitter"

Yeah let's keep that going here. From here on our whenever I see Trelix I will say "Trelix, the brand fomally known as McAfee."

[–] theolodger@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Or Evri, the brand formerly known as Hermes

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

or just call them mcafee, twitter, facebook, etc

Yes, but I like this because it ingrains in people's heads that when they hear Trelix they should think McAfee, to make that connection. Like with Xfinity, they don't want that connection made, they want people thinking "Oh I don't have that crappy Comcast service, I have Xfinity". I'll be saying it this way to show people that they're the same thing

fair point, maybe I'll do that from now on
