I'm into building things on the internet to make it a better place. This website is a project to play with technology and share my inherently valuable identity in a cohesive manner. I work with fedihosting.foundation to provide decentralized platforms for speech on the internet. I'm into self-hosting! There are so many people developing cool software! I tried to host a Mastodon instance on my small VPS, but it wouldn't boot with only a gig of ram dedicated to the system. I'd love to run a Tor Network node or bridge, but for now I am content with running a snowflake proxy in my browser. I'm also looking into hosting a KeePassXC database and implementing ActivityPub/AT protocol/Webmentions on my server to syndicate my content out to the world. Or perhaps I will host a Plex server, or a platform to host git repositories. I've talked with Dawn about hosting a BBS or IRC server.
Eventually I would like to work with an organization enabling privacy and circumnavigating authoritarian censorship on the internet. Ex: The Tor Project, Proton, Psiphon.
Also, check this out. Repurposing/hacking old hardware is badass. I'm talking with Dawn about implementing a status page like this for gooptech !!. I hacked my 3ds using this script. Someone wrote an http server for the 3ds, maybe I'll copy Alex Haydock's experiment.
