Somewhat recently I learned about tildaverses which if you’re unaware are communities where everyone gets an ssh account on a server to do things like hosts sites or gemini capsules, and access to services like a community IRC server or the ability to host their email there. This kinda got me thinking of community run clouds services with a slightly different approach and I thought I would I would ask Lemmy for their thoughts on how they would build something like that.

My hypothetical thought was something inspired by a tildaverse but a little less technical and a little more utilitarian but still with a community feel to it. Maybe nextcloud? A matrix server? A microblogging platform with activity pub? A blogging platform of some sort? A hosted RSS aggregator? The whole idea being both something that would be a community, but also something that would provide a bunch of your standard services like online notes/word processing, messaging, social media as apposed to hosting it yourself or paying for it with ads or money.

Or maybe you like the idea of a more tildaverse style community with the more classic things like ssh and IRC for the internal community kind of deal? In either case, if you were to build a community like that what would you include and how would you set it up? It’s all just a thought experiment in my case though, I don’t actually intend to set anything up by that, but would just be curious what you all would build and how you would do it if you were to set something up like this?

Global investment vampires have positioned themselves to suck our libraries dry

Endless sky can run on really low powered hardware, and is a top down space combat/trading/adventure game. Being FOSS it's on a lot of operating systems and can be found everywhere from Steam to Flathub to F-Droid.

I wanted to read RTF files on my phone. I couldn't find an RTF reader on F-Droid. So I cross-compiled unrtf with Zig

A post where I go over why I'm not a fan of the planned OS Windows 365 (an all cloud version of Windows), and why I'm not a fan of the existing push towards everything in the cloud, which I compare to each other.

It's a new blog so feedback would be much appreciated, either on my writing style, any missed grammatical errors, or the website design/layout (I'm new to Hugo but luckily themes do the heavy lifting).

Thanks 😀

Richard Stallman was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not Richard Stallman or the Free Software Foundation. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.

So, there you were, trotting through the Interweb Forest, feeling pretty good about yourself. You’ve got your Veil of Privacy draped fashionably over your shoulder, and you’ve just left the Temple of [REDACTED] feeling invisible. Oh, the sweet taste of online anonymity!

You’re ready to joust any shady DNS dragons or phishing sirens that dare cross your path. You’re like a knight in shining armor, except your armor is crafted from complicated algorithms and digital code. But then, bam! You bump into a Tracker Cookie, and let’s just say, this cookie doesn’t crumble. Turns out, this little biscuit isn’t fooled by your flashy Veil of Privacy. Tough luck, mate. Who knew browsing incognito could feel so…
