    it's the best option after IllumOS (OpenSolaris) IPS integrated with ZFS. Far less powerful not imposing zfs (only well supported for root, swap, encryption etc), so not integrated…

    You send emails to @gmail addresses most of the time, so... How you can avoid giving Alphabet (or some other giant) your messages? The point of ownership is having your mails in yo…

    Honestly... No thanks. It's 2026, those who do not own a domain name should buy one an run their own Matrix/XMPP server.

    Radicle is a good answer, coupled with a reborn Usenet, maybe Nostr. We have like never before the ability to communicate and cooperate yet most fails to understand and implement t…

    While I use it in LaTeX I tend to avoid it in non-LaTeX contexts BUT even though it's much used by LLMs having switched to EurKey layout years ago I can type it on my keyboard as w…

    We simply need open, decentralized or distributed platforms. Nostr is not that excellent, but it works, and have a potential to became "unified personal web platform", take a look …

    I prefer no filters instead, for one simple reason: who watches the watchmen? If we had a digital identity on a national blockchain run by open-hardware home servers and FLOSS soft…
