In-reply-to » cohost!

@prologic@twtxt.net

then you won’t like co-ops as many of us use it to describe mission and core values.

noun A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions, especially of a political nature. A public declaration, as of a sovereign or government, or of any person or body of persons, making known certain intentions, or proclaiming certain opinions and motives in reference to some act or course of conduct done or contemplated; in general, a proclamation.

@prologic@twtxt.net

likely too much to sum in a twt. but the coop models i’ve seen really do well with:

  • everyone involved is a stakedholder
  • core co-op has membership fees/donations
  • consensus on technical design and implementation
  • apolitical
  • all operators drive the co-op’s agenda, not their own
  • diversity of operator skillsets (ie: infra, sec, code, pm, advocacy, writing, design)
  • monthly or weekend meetings with an agenda and notes taken (think non-profit board meetings)
  • good documentation both internal and external

this is a start. i’ve been working on this for a long time, just looking for folks to click up with. have a few in the eu ready to go but we’re more on the sec/infra/cryptography side. will have to fill in the blanks.

@prologic@twtxt.net then make it happen? a lot of work goes into these pre-baked self-hosting platforms. most of us just build our own methodology just like you did with swarm on mills-dc.

there’s always going to be very opinionated implementations that don’t work for everyone. in the end, have to do what works best for your use-case or have a co-op who can make decisions together

In-reply-to » @retrocrash So... About these other self-host(er) communities you speak of... Where do we find them, who do we talk to? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net

going to have to swallow a frog for a while. no one suggested you use the platforms like every other person begging for attention and hyper stimulation.

use them to boost your signal. most oss/foss projects use at least twitter for announcements.

how can anyone discover whatever it is you’re building this week without you talking about it on popular platforms?

this is why many brilliant projects and ideas die. nobody knows about them.

without some sort of effort to spread the word by the time people find it, it’s no longer relevant.

@prologic@twtxt.net @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net has a point about the self-hosted platforms. there’s tons of them. and deploy your own systems like homelabos, yunh, etc. get your apps in there as a start just like you did with yarn on vultr marketplace. but that wasn’t my point

my point was to mingle with the self-hosting crowds on other platforms like twitter, reddit, etc. this will require effort and consistency to steer them to whatever platform(s) you decide to cook up.

then you’ll likely start seeing more people trickle in to see what’s up. that’s your gateway to your iaas/paas idea. and maybe could help make the world a better place.

as for me, i’ve given up on trying to make the world better. i’m just working on my own world.

In-reply-to » Firefox Focus is meant to be one of the more privacy friendly browsers on Android, yet after install it has Google set as the default web browser and it collects telemetry. So you still need to hunt through the settlings to find and turn off these things if they concern you (which they should imo)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci even if you disable these settings, you’re on an android phone. google never leaves and consistently sends datapoints and telemetry forever. do you think disabling the browser settings does much in this case?

either way have you taken a look at other aosp builds that are de-googled?

In-reply-to » Going to do “The Old Computer Challenge v2” soon: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-07-01-oldcomputerchallenge-v2-rtc.html

@mckinley@twtxt.net iphone per hour is a remnant of a odd situation from february. does not represent any of our finances.

if i calculate my iphone/hr finance equation it would put me in the one per leap year category.

internet throughput related prior to my decent debut as a digital hobo i ran 1gbps, 2gbps, and 5gbps fiber links.

could download the entire internet while my leer jet was being fueled and my platinum-coated kalashnikov was given a massage by a team of swedish courtesans.

this thread is depressing. i miss being a billionaire and parking my aventador in my library while tai lopez fetches my crushed velvet smoking jacket.

In-reply-to » I discovered something a bit sad today (maybe it's just me feeling down due to being sick)...

@prologic@twtxt.net

im the last person to ask about what’s acceptable or appropriate.

however bringing awareness could come in the form of being on public social networks simply for announcements, having more github activity and interaction, finding one of countless blogs to do a q&a on or have someone review and do a tutorial on it. tons of no-to-low cost marketing techniques that avoid becoming a shitbag. :-)

also might i suggest thinking focusing on the self-hosting crowd? a well written post on reddit might stir some interest.

i know how you feel about social networks. (we both worked at one). but use their platform to pump our ecosystem.

@jlj@ctrl-c.club @darch@neotxt.dk @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club @prologic@twtxt.net

what is there to be concerned about? its a small system and there hasn’t been a huge push to get it out there compared to some of the push fediverse and other things get.

unfortunately most go for quantity over quality which is why it costs millions to run twitter daily and a few cents to run yarnd

i will add a pod once i settle in. but there’s more out there.
