> Does that mean every self-hostable piece of software should be classified as "private"?

In my mind, as long as the self-hostable software isn't sending data back to some central server, yes? I guess we have different definitions, which is fine, this wasn't criticism of your list. I was just curious if you knew something I didn't.

> This is the key point that is never mentioned. The software is mentioned but nothing about who is running it.

It's interesting to have list of tools that can be self-hosted. My friends and I host mumble/irc/pastebin/img upload for our use. We've got it in a wireguard vpn, it works well. Finding out about other services that we can self-host and use is a always interesting. Although I can't really think of something we need at the moment.



The issue with lists like this though is privacy is implied by merely using the software and not from the fact you control the server.

For most people self-hosting isn't an option or something they want to do.

Software should be developed with E2EE from the beginning wherever possible.
