There's just something very revealing in how #web3 grifters and cypherpunks share the same inhumane ideology even if one group is often still perceived as "the good ones".

(The idea that blockchains are anti-surveillance is just ridiculous as a baseline. That's just financial fraud cosplaying as "the good hackers".)

There have been many scams in the #crypto space.

A US federal reserve in crypto will be the largest scam of them all.

Note: it’s not a crypto reserve. It’s simply a bailout of #web3 investments that have gone bad, sending taxpayer money to favored money people.

Initializing a new project - Interplanetary Markdown. Might explore a #Web3 (off-chain) approach later for a better experience, but for now, keeping it simple with good old #OpenPGP.

A censorship-resistant #Markdown publishing platform, enabling seamless content distribution. Powered by the Interplanetary File System (#IPFS), ensuring #blogs, #articles, and other written content remain accessible and verifiable across the distributed web.

#CryptoBros trying to co-opt things is the most #capitalist bullshit ever.

There's nothing that #web3 can't solve, and in effect, it will save you from those evil #tech oligarchs by instead replacing their quick and nimble cloud infrastructure with a slow and cumbersome gambling network that could - in theory - at some point be as effective, as long as everyone has dark fiber, 256GB of memory, 512TB of SSD storage and 8x dGPU's...

Y'know, just be rich - and you too can avoid the #oligarchy...

Foreign investors are buying pieces of rental homes for $50. What could possibly go wrong?

For tenants? Everything. Ignored repairs, unresponsive management, eviction letters, you name it.

And yes, it’s happening here in Detroit.

The internet is going backwards.

Doing a web search in 2025 is a nightmare: even if you tell Google/DuckDuckGo to disable AI summaries, most of the top results you get are clearly AI-generated word salads. More than in the past, I am finding myself keeping a curated list of trusted sources, wikis, personal homepages, blogs, microblogs, to fetch information from, rather than relying on search engines. People increasingly host their own stuff, because it has become easier, and digital self sovereignty is being finally seen as something valuable. Archivists scramble to hoard data that might soon disappear. Fediverse means going back from web 2.0 to email, and frankly it's great. Well, we're still being shoved in our throats modern versions of Clippy, but I guess no pain no gain.

Now please bring back BBSs and 56k modems, and the cycle will be complete. I dream of a next era of steampunk utopia where "key exchange" has a very metallic meaning, and steam computers can factorize more than 15.

There are some things I *love* about NextCloud. It's the only FOSS software that creates an accessible, central space on the Internet for individuals.

It also has some HUGE FLAWS. It's cumbersome to install and maintain, half its plugins are out of date or under-supported, its code is clunky and inefficient, and the most reliable hosting providers (managed) are either expensive or located on completely non-English websites.

I see it compared a lot to simple storage software, but I see it as something more akin to the Solid Pods (solidproject.org/). Something like this could be the home for every single person on the Internet if done correctly. NC isn't doing it correctly, but it is shedding light on the possibility that it could be done at all, without reinventing all the wheels.
