These ideas may be relevant. Maybe not.
- I became interested in the Veilid project About Us · Veilid Foundation (early days for them too)
- I am not so much interested in security, as I am to stupid to set up a server (bought the hardware and kept ending up working from the terminal) Tried with Manjaro, Ubuntu and Debian (twice). I am more interested in Trust, Integrity and building a mesh or network across similar interests.
So for example, long term I want to be able to Use GNU-Linux but am still moving towards that. Having for example great difficulties setting up Jami (due to hardware drivers and other issues)
I have a reasonably secure email (better than gmail) at protonmail BUT I am trying to set up mailfence. It may just be another commercial centralised ‘service’ with a free option. - It takes time to get to know people. For example, I am interested in Generative AI but also aware of the potential misuses or risks it entails.
- People who generate ideas, community involvement and inspiration are my goal with Mastodon, where I am too simple-minded to collect follow and move to a different instance/server. Geek instruction sets just confuse me.
- As they say in the future, stoke up the back burner, man the forge and start bellowing.
