Practical Decentralization
The point of decentralization is to guarantee the rights of individuals and communities on the Internet. Pulling that off is a balancing act between practicality and ideology.

Repurposed an old Intel Mac Mini as a Linux server running 13’s and my Minecraft world. Also got Pi-Hole on there blocking ads for the whole house, and Homebridge for IoT devices to work from Apple Home (handy for CarPlay!) Hard to convey how satisfying this all is to less geeky folk

Taking a moment to marvel at the photography of Harry Gruyaert.
A high contrast colour photo of a person in a cream coloured coat and hat waiting at a crossing. There's a green car and a person in leather on a motorbike.A man in a suit stands on a blue and white bathroom regarding himself in a mirror. It's very cinematic.A garage with a fuel pump, a Volkswagen Beetle, and strong sunlight hitting a building in cream and red.The foggy window of a launderette, tinted green. A bike is propped against the window.

one of the most mind numbing aspects of the epstein files is that this implicates so many people and feels like there needs to be massive consequences yet it feels underdiscussed. how is everyone not talking about all of this all the time
