And it has a social feature, "blurblogs" on which you share articles. It's quite great, just signed up :) And it's open source! Thanks for the tip frumiousirc!

Maybe if someone creates a more "social" RSS experience! A Feedly with Friends! (does this already exist?) Basically a follow-based social graph on top of the excellent feedly expe…

Here's to hoping 2018 is the year of solarpunk!

This was great; very inspiring! Also a shame they are not using much better tech (proper mesh protocols like CJDNS), which is already available and successfully deployed.

It was sorta rhetorical to make a point about 'internet' meaning just interconnected networks :D And any wireless mesh based network will face the same issue (my reply was mainly a…

One final note, I personally prefer networks where the incentive to support the network is simply because the members want to see it succeed (mutual benefit all around), not becaus…

This was my first ever look at mesh networks, years ago!! Met a bunch of people hacking on it in c-base. Those guys are awesome! And my go-to example for large successful installat…

Cool project (altheamesh.com) but please don't spread FUD about CJDNS... What do you mean by "internet access"? If you mean access to the "commercial internet" then I assure you a …

Hmmm I think it's a bit of a stretch to say mesh networking hasn't really worked out. It just hasn't spread far enough yet. Have you heard of CJDNS[1]? or BATMAN[2]? Hyperboria[3] …

Community-owned does not necessarily mean govt owned: look at peer-to-peer mesh networks ( https://hyperboria.net/ ). Private citizens run their own nodes and connect to the nodes …

In the less dense areas the most economical solution for great connectivity is definitely mesh networks. They are even being deployed in very rural areas at a very low cost! http:/…

I would be very interested to hear more about your experience dboreham! I'm assuming you mean you ran a small/local ISP and it was an overall loss? What do you think of something l…

Which is why we should be scrambling to get it done now . Free and non-centrally-controllable access to connectivity is going to be a powerful aide in all the other battles. Priori…

As a side note, it always bothered me how terribly inefficient it is to be sending data in circles around the world just to message someone two streets down or, worse, my house mat…

I believe it is already being done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_Wi-Fi#Large-scale_d... We'll still need big orgs to take care of those undersea cables, for now at leas…

We can easily be running our own internet. I recenlty discovered CJDNS[1] (protocol for encrypted p2p address allocation and routing for mesh networks, so essentially OSI layer 3) …

The bit about being permissionless is kind of unclear. "This seems to work well: the SSB network thrives off of being a group of kind, respectful folks who don't push to each other…

Ad based revenue models are based on selling user data. I think in the p2p world these services would start charging money for the actual service instead. For example, one would pa…

Now imagine that in your bag, and can be instantly set up in front of you anywhere in VR.

Another related ramification of doing away with heirarchy and unique identifiers (tree paths) is not being able to have files with the same filename. Say you have: /photos/london/D…

Same here, I want something similar to manage my photo collection. The current implementation actually can have plugins that act on specific file types, so automatic tags are just …

Having operators be part of the path itself actually struck me as genius. This way tagfs is 'backwards compatible' with current file managers and you can 'browse' the filesystem qu…

I was excited about this at first, but I have come to think a filesystem that does away with the tree structure would be rather difficult to deal with or get used to. I will probab…
