I’ve set up a basic automatic photo sync from my phone to NextCloud. Chuffed to get that working. I struggled in the past with syncthing for that some reason I’ve forgotten now, and it made me have to stick with Google Photos.
I’ve set up syncthing on my YunoHost box. I already had it on my desktop and my mobile. The whole point of Syncthing is kind of that it’s P2P, without a central server, but I thought this might be handy as an extra node for those two to sync between. I do occassionally get sync conflicts when I’ve edited stuff on both while they weren’t in communication with each other. It’s not a central server, just a more available node, I guess.
Weekend project was more self-hosting, mostly via setting up YunoHost. I’ve got NextCloud, Invidious, Syncthing and the anarchist library self-hosted on it so far.
Which links a bit to the Post-Open Source article from last week. Particularly a comment from @ntnschndr:
“I’m increasingly convinced that OSS as such is broken as a means of protecting against corporate exploitation, and it should not be celebrated as an end in itself. … Rather than fixating on licensing, it might be more relevant to all of us to discuss the possibility of an “exit to community”
Listened to the General Intellect Unit episodes on The People’s Republic of Walmart. About planned economies and how corporations are doing them internally, despite all the lip service paid to the power of the market.
No long walks this weekend, just a couple of shorter ones around Lancaster. I like the cemetery.
Thinking about the importance of good documentation. If knowledge is power, then Documentation is praxis. I want good tools for documentation then.
node "knowledge is power" as knowledge
node "documentation is praxis" as documentation
knowledge --> documentation
After writing 700 Notions I see a pattern emerge w.r.t short, ‘right’ and long ones
Then last week I came across this click-baity posting by Tim Denning, advocating max 200-word posts to reach ‘virality’, while reflecting on my blogwriting pace. Checking the length of my Notions, I looked at…
Cool to see social.coop get a link in this article in Logic, in the section “A New Barcelona”, riffing on anarchist Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. (Not so keen on Manchester being lumbered with the symbolism for capitalism, given it also played roles in Chartism and co-ops among other things, but hey ho).
Because all the day’s computers, including Galaksija, ran their programs on cassette, Regasek thought Modli might broadcast programs over the airwaves as audio during his show. The idea was that listeners could tape the programs off their receivers as they were broadcast, then load them into their personal machines.
