There is a difference between talking about a decentralized system, or about decentralized hosting of a centralized system. You are talking about the latter, but that is irrelevant if you have the former. There is no "latest" vers

As a Squeezebox owner, I disagree. Their tech was good, but then the company that made them, Slim Devices, was acquired by Logitech. Everything got rebranded and then... they lost interest. Which is a shame, but the Squeezbox world was perf

I think any big company who does not like Google's dominance on the web would want to do that. The reason they all switch to a chromium engine is not that they don't care, it's because it was too hard/expensive to develo

This is an unproductive interpretation of "living without tech giants". Yes, if you decide to ban all major cloud providers from your live, including everything they host, you are going to have a hard time. But it is foolish to gi

I also don't get why people put all their stuff on free services like this and expect it to work until eternity. Come on, if you stop just half a second and think about it, you know it is a stupid idea and you know that one day you wil

Of course not. If instance A does not like instance B and blocks it, there is reason why there can't be an instance C that federates with both A and B. If these three were the only instances in the world then, yes, A could be so strict

Agreed. The ease of Markdown, but well structured and complete enough to write a whole book in it. I love it. I've even fantasized about creating a new AsciiDoc mimetype, called AsciiWeb. It would be a subset of AsciiDoc that is releva

Do you have so many chores that you spend every day until 4pm doing them? Of course not. Because when you worked at an office, you also did not spend that much time on them. I love to mix chores with work, because your mind gets a break and
