 If you can't tell, I'm really excited about the Internet. I've been excited for the past month. Not just because of people joining Mastodon, but also because people are starting up new instances too. Which means self-hosting. And after self-hosting? You're going to get interested in CDNs and protocols. After that, you'll discover that this decentralized Internet thing gets to be addictive! 4 comments
@paninid Eventually, someone's going to sell RPi devices with everything pre-installed. @paninid @atomicpoet it should be doable to create a “fedibox” that bundles mastodon and pixelfed on a raspberry pi and a 2TB harddisk @atomicpoet Blockchain (cryptography) is a gateway for trustless decentralised apps. Currency and payments are only part of the story allowing sharing and user ownership of data .. is another. |

@atomicpoet I am waiting to see how feasible it is for non-technical people to self-host instances without needing to leverage Big Tech infra (i.e. AWS, Google, etc)
