My current tech strat is to deinfluence startups from what's trendy and point them to "boring" tech that will get the job done and be more stable.

So I was testing #PeerSky with no internet. I uploaded a 2gb movie from my laptop, scanned the QR code with my phone through Hyperdrive, and sent the link from my phone to my Pi 5 over PeerChat, where I could stream it too. With private drives, PeerSky gives […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

PeerSky on three devices. In the middle, a Mac running PeerSky: its home page with the clock at 20:15 over a lake and pine trees, a row of app icons along the bottom, and PeerChat beside it, open on a room called Yosemite Weekend. Alice says the permit is confirmed for Granite Lake and shares a photo of the lake, then Bob says two bear canisters are in his trunk. On the left, an iPhone runs P2PMD with a shared note planning the Yosemite weekend, day by day, with a packing list. On the right, an Android phone plays a song in PeerTunes, a music player with a click wheel.

Building p2p apps made me like Android more. It lets your app keep running in the background, while iOS suspends it within seconds of leaving the screen, and for p2p that means your peer just drops offline.

encryption only does not give you privacy people. signal or proton mail can still be shut down or hacked. i'm talking about agency. the only way to truly own your data is to control it yourself, without any authority controlling.

@peersky is not just a browser, it can do so many things. I don’t like describing it as a “browser”. I want wording that non-tech people can easily understand. These days, I describe it as: “What if you could turn your browser into a server?” and then explain what that means.

We're not far from the era where people will put chips inside their brains for enhanced intelligence. What scares me is that at some point, people might have to wait to skip ads or pay for a premium subscription just to "think", with surveillance layered on top.
