@WPalant Ah, that's true. I do know alot of normal people who want more control though. And literally every wifi router has a web server in it (that's how you configure it).

@WPalant I don't know. How many people have a Wifi router that has a file/print server built in? Many have DDNS and VPN servers, too. A simple wizard letting people turn on the server features they want is pretty great! Getting OpenVPN working on my latest router was crazy easy like that.

Manyverse is a free open source "off the grid" social network. Each user's data is stored on their own computer or phone instead of on a server. You can follow the project at:
➡️ @manyver_se
There are apps for Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, available from the website at https://www.manyver.se
Manyverse is part of the SSB/Scuttlebutt network.

So-called "web3" is about decentralization, if by decentralization you mean adding a bunch of much more expensive and totally unaccountable middlemen.
@martijnbraam @postmarketOS Cool! The "Pocket PCs" of 21 years ago were great. I think that should have been the generic term for smartphones instead of "smartphones".

#TIL about Scribe, a free code front end that does on medium.com articles what Invidio.us does on YT videos and Nitter on Titter posts:
I feel like I need to turn this into some kind of server. https://pocketnow.com/xdo-pantera-pico-pc-review-a-rubiks-cube-sized-pc

If WhatsApp infrastructure were owned by users, not Facebook, then #FacebookDown could only affect one household at a time. Communicating with family and work is too important to be the job of one company. Decentralize now! #EmailFTW

The talk “Diving deep into Briar - a closer look at its internals” is now online.
"After shortly introducing Briar and talking about the features it offers, I showed how Briar works on the lower levels and how it makes use of the Bramble Protocols."
It's available on #peertube and youtube.
