Whos that

It does if they’re minimizing and lying about it

GNUnet helps building a new Internet

GNUnet is a network protocol stack for building secure, distributed, and privacy-preserving applications.

With strong roots in academic research, our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack.

GNUnet provides privacy-by design

It provides [improving addressing, routing, naming and content distribution](https://www.w3.org/2014/strint/papers/65.pdf) in a technically robust manner - as opposed to ad-hoc designs in place today.

Thank you, that kind of explanation exactly what i was hoping for!

Me too! I hope they reference “the search for more money!”

What is a DNS sinkhole and how is it related to the content of the article? Didn’t seem to mention DNS

Are the fans quiet too?

I love that you’ve got this explanation because my first reaction was… Hot! Too… Hot!

I really love the vibe of freedns.afraid.org

They also give you 6 months in between needing to log in to your account

What made it inevitable in your opinion?

How many 3 initial techdudes are there?

I only know jwz and DHH

Some people plan out their self hosting. I did not.

I started with a free tier VPS i had no idea what to do with. I think i eventually ran irssi on it but i didn’t know how to use irssi so it was just a trial project that didn’t go anywhere.

Then, my mom wanted to record jeopardy and VHS tapes were getting annoying, so we made her a kodi system that could record it off the air.

Ads were getting annoying, so we made a pihole.

It was annoying having files scattered on all the computers and Google drive, so we made a nextcloud.

Et cetera.

Eventually i ended up with a handful of raspberry pis all doing something, spread sheets and network diagrams trying to keep track, and all plugged into various UPSes, and trying to figure out how to use NUT so they could all safely shut down automatically when the UPS is going down.

So no, i did not plan from day one to be struggling with the complexity of NUT, or any of my complicated bullshit self-hosting bullshit. But kind of like the process of evolution through natural selection, the complexity built up through of series of decisions which call made sense at the time for solving some kind of problem.

Idk why but I’m allergic to the phrase “the wife”

Thank you for making this!

Do you keep in touch with the other folks who run cool filehosts? The only other one i know like this is catbox, but it is a similar vibe.

The golden rule I’ve heard is: no long conversations.
