My thoughts on the #futureoftheinternet, #digitalfreedom, #freedomofinformation, and #accessibility–with some #FOSS and #anarchy thrown in, of course.
I absolutely welcome comments and feedback offered in good will from the informed minds gathered in this particular digital space #Lemmy #Fediverse #keepsmesane
I thought this was going to be about setting up packet radio and making offline backups of Wikipedia, for when the world tears itself apart less than a year from now 😓
Back in the day, I liked the idea of a piratebox like: https://piratebox.cc/ but the setup was too much. LibraryBox was the successor and it died as well.
Ive never tried it, but Butterbox looks interesting. If anyone knows any good backup systems let me know!
Right now, I just maintain a couple of yunohost setups because its easy and I dont have to put in a huge amount of work to get federated services up and running.
I learned about https://32bit.cafe/ just today. Looks like a lot of people are starting to build up the communities again.
Oh wow, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’m really glad to know folks are working in this direction!
Theirs also: https://tildeverse.org/ I know next to nothing about this rabbit hole but it looks cool.
tildeverse is great learn about gemini it’s the underground internet right out of of the early 90s.
Ive paid for private email hosting for years now, and run a bunch of services on a pi now. Google is almost completely out of my life, and my fb has been deactivated for years. I’m not kicking any corporate walls down, but it feels good to be the change I want to see. 🤷♂️
It will definitely be decentralized. The biggest blows to real representative democracy happened when the courts made the “corporations are people / money is speech” arguments.
Why all the hashtags? I feel like I just stumbled into an ad.
I’d love to tell you that it was an attempt at visual irony, but the reality is I originally posted this in another corner of the Fediverse and was too lazy to remove the #hashtags. The good/bad news is that I have nothing to sell you.
