I really like andors manifesto as a take on how to have radical hope in a world that individualizes us, is gettjng more and more authoritarian and is soo much against our dreams and hopes.

don’t use google. basically any engine is better. I would recommend using a searxng instance. Soi that nobody can ever enshittify it ever again

yep: https://yunohost.org/#/

It’s technically possible, but windows doesn’t give you as the user tools to do so. If you donÄt want windos to have the ability to do so you could use full system encryption like: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system

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

you can do anything without ever using a desktop environment

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.

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.

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

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

yesss i love to find even more projects

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

yess 100% it would force big corporations out of our media

Oh true ^^

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

yes, it and email are probably the two most widespread ones, i didn’t include it because it’s already pretty known

I’m kinda sad that theres almost no new work being made on top of it, seems even more promising than yggdrasil in some aspects

Interesting ones i didn’t know about^^

But it’s definitely possible to ship a virus embedded in a playable mkv file, but something else would have to extract it first, for it to do anything

if you really only played it and it didn’t abuse some zero day in vlc (extremely unlikely), the there’s basically zero chance you could have activated a virus.
