I think selfhosting should be as normal as owning a car and as easy as using a phone. It's because I think people should run the internet, not billionaires.
I have wanted to self host ever since I joined the fediverse 5 years ago. Always ends up with one or another error message that I cant get through. But I might give this a chance.
One thing I wish I knew earlier is the "man" command to display the documentation of a command.
From reading the book you gave me, I feel much more aligned with materialism. I believe that matter is the realest and the spirit world is less real - if I may put it like that.
That doesn't mean that I think we should view everything from a materialist lense.
The materialist lense is synonymous with the scientific method. But science isn't suitable for everything. Science is slow, rigid, unaccessible and never answers wholistically. Oftentimes science isn't the right approach.
For deem, if he wants to befriend her, he could look up research papers on the best approach to do so, but if she responds with something he hasn't studied, then he will have to go back to the drawing board. In this case it would be better for him to lean on meta physics such as "trusting his gut feeling" or "make her feel valued". This approach moves away from materialism, but that doesn't mean that he has turned into a luney coocoo head.
Or what you say?
I'm on kolektiva.social. Nothing to complain about.
I am of the opinion that technology needs a language reform. The current day technology language makes it seem highly technical and it doesn't have to be like that. For deem, we don't view nature as too technical even though it is more complex than our technologies. How we discuss nature is meaningful, whereas how we discuss technology is narrow minded.
I like to use more physical words. Such as town or nest. For instance I used to be on a norwegian site which translates to Freetown, but I have now moved to Hedgehognest.
In other words, you say that we should just give up.
I think the way we are trying to make technology sound sophisticated and our refusal to reinvent language makes technology become much less accessible than what they should be.
I'll not say what I'm using, because I haven't figured it out yet.
However, what I seek are:
- Frugile / lightweight / nighsome - Using few resources so that it is easy to take ownership over. This will also increase flexibility.
- Open - Not restrictive licensing. Post-dominating mindset.
- Human Selfhostability - The approach should be as accessible as possible for anyone seeking to take ownership over it. Frugality is also important to achieve this.
- Human centric - People should not adapt to the approach, but the approach has to adapt to people.
