Become the thousand servers
It's our only way out.
What is this? I skimmed it and it’s “If you build it, break it” lofty sounding language and no clear statement of a goal or benefit.
It's a guide on how to begin self hosting, with the ultimate goal of lessoning dependence on centralized big tech owned websites. Lemmy/Piefed is an example of a citizen owned decentralized platform, which we need more of.
Thank you.
If you know what algorithmic complexity is, thousand servers might be as good as one, depending on purpose.
In this case I think global network is the problem. Mesh and offline applications like Briar are one of the solutions.
Is briar still being maintained?
