It’s time for real interoperability. Let’s make it happen.

Is Bluesky the answer to our social media woes? I explore its potential and compare it to Mastodon. What do you think?

Here’s a short guide on how I host websites and single-page applications on the InterPlanetary File System (#IPFS). It covers running a node, #pinning data, #HTTP gateways, the InterPlanetary Name System (#IPNS), and how to get memorable URLs using #DNSLink.

(I've recently published some #browser #tools and #demos on the IPFS and thought you might be interested too. Feedback welcome!)

Since #HostEurope moves our email to MS servers, I'm finally moving my 4 email domains to my own server. Two are already done, they were easy as I only used aliases. One contains my main mailbox, that will be a bit more involved and the other contains my mums mailbox. That one will be the hardest

Thanks for giving me the push to finally move away HostEurope. I'll probably migrate the domains soon as well, I can pay a fraction for all the .de domains.

If you are on a quest for a blogging platform, you could also consider Friendica:
https://friendi.ca/
It connects to the Fediverse and much more (bluesky, diaspora, email, discourse..). It offers more than Mastodon technically but it is way behind in terms of design with its Facebook 2010 look.

Garage - An open-source distributed object storage service

Does any of you know about this and also use it professionally and if so in what context and how? Honestly, I'm standing up a little.

#Bluesky nominally has the capacity to be decentralized, in practice, it's fully centralized. What led @vortex to call it "federation washing".

But what about #blacksky? Is this a working example of #decentralization of Bluesky?

On the level of technical infrastructure, it's a service built on top of Bluesky, on a social level, it's clearly distinct (different feeds, moderation, social user basis).

In terms of building a space of a large minority community, it seems to have succeeded where Mastodon failed so far,. And it might even be large enough to decentralize the infrastructure as well.
