You deserve a home on the World Wide Web that’s built to keep you safe; a magical place for virtual living that‘s yours for life, existing in a sociable web.

Homeownership on the web is highly analogous to the physical world. Modern homeownership is mostly a story of home-rentership, not real ownership.

Incredibly, this matches the online experience, even though the World Wide Web has an infinite amount of real-estate!

    I have 30 seconds to figure out what this is. No idea from reading this post. Go to the site, still no idea. Go to its home page.

    Networked community gardens in the hinterwebs.

    Still no idea. I’m out.

      I think it’s advertising for a custom domain service kinda like geocities or angelfire used to be. It’s also apparently free with the caveat that they will constantly try to upsell you on packages, and it will eventually not be free.

        And you lose access to “your” site if they go out of business. Sounds a lot like renting, not sure where the “ownership” part comes in.

    I’m working on a protocol for decentralised hosting, ironing out a vulnerability now but it should be up for test in a month or so.

        Thank you!

        I’ll post about it here when it’s fixed.

        If you want to check it out in the meantime you can check this out.

          Just reading through the steps there is a lot to get set up and sharing. You may need to consider simplification to on board more people. Looks like it could be put into a Docker container for setup. Did you want a hand with that?

            Thanks for the feedback!

            A docker could make the setup run, and if I rework where I store the data (now it’s in the same folder as the listener so it needs a special tweak in the docker files) but the problem is the 10f executable that you use to share files with, it’s a command line app so it would be weird to put that in a docker IMO.

            Also, using docker images isn’t really simple?

            You are right though, simpler is better.

            What do you think about a setup script instead? Like

            1. forward a port to your PC

            2. run the setup script with your public IP:PORT (or just the port and let the script auto-detect the IP)

            3. start the listener

            Or should I still work on that? I can make a gui that helps setting everything up and run I guess.

    This was one of my main needs when i started to look for a platform on the fediverse, while wordpress was the closest thing to what i needed it had partial support for federation but thankfully a little known gem called ‘hubzilla’ turned out to be exactly what i needed to set up my digital home.
