you can export your ohlife-diary and import it into maildiary.net and start over. Within a few minutes you have a comparable service running.

It's not that hard. I already work on a solution. a few years ago I developed malidiary.net but now I develop a solution to host on your own server: http://owntools.de/index.php?id=1384105777.6149 It's not ready yet, but now that ohlife shuts down, I will speed up the development.

ever found this special christmas-picture you wanted to send to your friends, but actually the new year has just begun? So why not send yourself an email for next december? Add the picture as attachment and be suprised when you get back your mail several months later.

This app was created with the idea in mind that in most cases only the grandchildren are interested in the life story of the grandparents. Sometimes it is too late by then or the options are limited to get the desired information.
Have you ever wished you had the time and skill to capture your life story or those of your family members? Maybe you've thought about getting your own memories down on paper. Use your voice and this interview-app to record your life story.

Use XMPP-Client as debug-console

Sometimes it is not easy to get some debug-output to find an error inside your code. I use my XMPP/Jabber-Client as an universal debug-console.If you like the idea add the buddy [email protected] and send 'help'.You get some short code-snippets (PHP, JS, JQuery, Shell) with which you can send Debug-output to your Jabber-client.e.g. If your need an output from within a PHP-script you can...

Re:Ask HN: is there an alternative for instagram? on Sunday January 13, 2013 @03:25AM (#5050295)
As I understand openphoto you still have to store your private photos on public cloud-services? But if I have my own server I like to store them there. I feel better if I control who can access my photos.
Re:Ask HN: we develop a social network, what's the next steps? on Sunday December 30, 2012 @11:53AM (#4986259)
Please describe what were your initial thoughts? - Can I host a social network on my own server? - what about privacy? - what about security? - are messages encrypted on client-site? - is it possible for site-admins to read private messages between users? - how far can I control my entries? - who can see which informations? - How can I leave the network? - Can I transfer my data to another network? - Is there an open api to connect from another application?
Things still in development: - email-notify if someone comments on my pictures. - user-management on my server - buddylist - keep a list of pictures from my friends I already saw - see gallery-pictures in app - add geoposition to pictures

OwnStaGram: a self hosting instagram-clone to prevent privacy concerns

a few weeks ago I started a project to imitate instagram on my own server. I wanted to share photos, but keep full control over them. Due to the actual press around instagram and their changes in terms of use, I decided to publish my project even if its in early beta. I like to hear if you need such a solution and what ideas do you have.Try it if you like: http://www.mad5.de/ownstagram/Until...

Does noone need privacy anymore?

Why Is everyone so excited about storing their private data like photos on other peoples servers? Is there no need for more privacy? I like to have all my photos on my own little home-server or NAS. But I still like to share some with friends or family. Isn't there a solution other than flickr or snapjoy to keep everything at home and share through my DSL?

What would you use SMS for? The main problem with SMS is, that someone has to pay for. You thought of using SMS for inbound or outbound?
