  • Simple solution to all this crap:

    MASTODON.

  • set up *nix computer to only allow local WiFi network sharing and no internet access

    Jump

  • Purchase and install the firewall-software called iptables. It allows for precise configuration; e.g. blocking any connections to the wider web. May the FOSS be with you!

  • Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OS

  • Mastodon’s founder cedes control, refuses to become next Musk or Zuckerberg

  • Why is there this very loud chorus of people touting bluesky as alternative to twitter instead of the far superior Mastodon?

    Bluesky you are basically swapping a tyrant against a benevolent dictator, that dictator can become corrupted or sell bluesky to Musk Elon later on.... That is not a solution that is more like procrastination.

  • Are there options to develop hardware/firmware/software that you just plug in and it figures out everything else for you? Basically the hardware, the firmware and everything designed to very much spoon-feed the user, just plug it in and use. If that can be done it would remove one barrier for many people.

  • self funded, you yourself as the user have to pay and maintain whatever equipment supports your node of the mesh.

  • stop the flow of it that couldn’t be applied (at a technical level) to the internet as it exists today?

    I would assume that if the users own and operate the infrastructure they would not be subjected to the ad-revenue model and other economic forces in the market that lead to the emergence of this sort of content spam.

  • But sometimes whoever owns the infrastructure has you by the balls/ovaries and the only way to break free is to host everything yourself and own, run and maintain the infrastructure from a grassroots level.

    Issues like net-neutrality stem from users not having control over the underlying systems.

  • I2P

    beautiful! Can you help me understand this better? does this run atop the regular internet infrastructure?

    What is I2P?

    The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a fully encrypted private network layer. It protects your activity and location. Every day people use the network to connect with people without worry of being tracked or their data being collected. In some cases people rely on the network when they need to be discrete or are doing sensitive work.

  • stop wasting our time on these silly utopian fantasies

    Well bad actors from all walks of life's do nothing else all day but waste their time on scary dystopian nightmares.

  • Those were some excellent points to consider! Especially the potential for misuse/abuse/derailment....

  • EDIT: I am not a technical. I meant more along the line of setting up a parallel infrastructure that provides anonymity and some sort modular extensibility. Ideally something that has like a box that looks like a regular router just the wifi is strong enough to cover an entire block and then these routers talk to each other in a sort of mesh.

    reasons for that are that for example the current internet isn't designed for privacy let alone anonymitiy.

    AI spam is going to drown out any human content pretty soon on the regular internet. The regular internet has been hijacked/stole/devolved/self-destroyed (idk the exact details) however there was a noticeable downfall. Do you remember geo-cities?
