Here is a guide I hope helps get you started: https://growyourown.services/ I am using https://yunohost.org , but https://pibox.io/ looks like a cool setup that takes care of some of the more dif

I agree that we should focus on the major uses of power, but the trajectory of computing and data center usage is accelerating quickly. We have the opportunity to get ahead of it rather than try to rip out and replace later as we are doing

This is a possibility when pushing companies from perpetual licenses onto subscription and then upping their subscriptions. Wall street is heavily pressing SW companies to increase their ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) or some call it, you w

I know of another SW company that did the same thing. Everybody at the company was then told not to contact or communicate with any of the employees in Russia. Then one of the executives told everybody that it was a vendor who was providing

I wish that next to the thumbs up button was a support icon that allowed you to fund the creator a small amount in an easy way. The platform owner would get a percentage.

The intelligence agencies are well aware and like the current situation of a handful of giant data pots from which to pull. Some lawmakers are well aware as well. Who knows which of these lawmakers is just putting on a show and acting surpr

Why shouldn't each politician set up her own Mastodon server moderated by her staffers? Then they would have complete control of data that they don't publish to the world. They also can't be cancelled, shadow banned, or censo

Much of it is the other way around where the browser compatibility drives the development of sites. Everybody developing a site needs to test on the major browsers before releasing. It may take a while for Ladybird to make the list of brows

Installing peertube on my yunohost.org server was very easy thanks to the packaging provided. Joinpeertube.org can tell you more about the project. It is a social media project which means moderation is needed depending on how you choose to

I maintain a large garden and bury probably tons of organic matter underneath and in the beds. It is a pittance of carbon capture and no solution. Here is a fun video about carbon capture. https://youtu.be/MSZgoFyuHC8

I noticed that Ecosia, Startpage, and Brave search all have extensions that will set those as the default. I am not sure if their code is open, but I imagine the Brave extension is probably best place to start.

There is a saying that the cloud is just somebody else's computer, but with your own server, it can be your computer. You always need to trust the admin or company of any server/cloud service you use to not abuse you in some way,

The article did not mention specific numbers, but Google is estimated to pay Apple about $20B this year to stay integrated into their systems. That amount surely buys a lot of favors.

You mean SAP and Oracle. Oracle acquired Peoplesoft and Netsuite long ago. Oracle has its Fusion product where it attempts to fuse their acquisitions into one platform. Some call it Confusion. SAP has built most of its product to work seaml

SAP has developed much better HTML5 UI's, but It is very difficult to change UX on these professional users who are accustomed to and actually have come to like the old stuff which has been around since the 90's.

Let's create an extension that merely prompts for the URL of your desired search engine. On confirm, it makes all the technical browser settings to set as default.
