what caused you to get into Linux?
  • first just messing around with it, then starting selfhosting and then i started to dualboot just for fun, and one day i by mistake nuked my windows installation, so now i'm a full time linux user

  • What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows?
  • okay basically so many things sooo much better, first of all i can change any part of software of the os for any other one i like. I can fix my installation no matter how broken it is as long as the filse system is still intact.

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
  • yunohost it's basically an os that easily lets you selfhost, by having an extremely big amount of selfhosted services packaged with scripts that autonatically set everything up and all of that trough a clear and modern web interface.

  • Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?
  • definitely some alternative internet mesh routing standart, just imagine if every device with wifi or ethernet could just extend the network without relying on an isp, yeah they could still serve as a fast backbone, but they just wouldn't be needed and no disaster could really ever disrupt the whole internet again

  • Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?
  • honestly: activity pub, matrix, xmpp, markdown and soo many more probably. All of these would be able to solve our walled gardens problem, but the apps with a basically monopoly don't have much of an incentivw to implement them

  • 2040 a hopeful and realistic Solarpunk movie about our future

    I loved the Movie 2040 by Damon Gameau. It’s really hopeful and shows us it’s possible to have a better future, the most important message today. I especially also like the focus to be on kids, because those are the people that will be living in and shaping the future. So watch this movie, show it to your kids and anyone who could benefit from a little more hope and Ideas!!

    Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)
  • projects or ideas that try to be part of the movement to make the internet more decentralized and distributed. Yes some like Yggdrasil or TOR are about alternative routing via overlay networks that work over basically any connection. Others like SSB are trying to be even more revolutionary, by changing what we define as a network. All in all i would count most of those as Ideas or Impulses that if you are interested you definitely should check out and some of their concepts, i see becoming our internet in the future

  • Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)
  • the problem i see with nostr is that it implements a bunch of pro-cryptocurrency ideas: like paying to use relays for example and with all the sustainability issues regarding crypto and us wanting to create a better network, i would like to leave money out of it

    Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)

    some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time

    If you need motivation for positive change, against despair:

    If you think the world is going to shit and need some motivation: Watch This Movie: Tommorowland/A World Beyond (2015)

    It inspires so so much to change the world even though you think it might not be possible.
