Just a bit or a wandering mind on my part but one of the issues in the back of my mind is what happens to whatever self hosting I setup if something happens to me.
Ideally I’d like to be able to know that in case of emergency Id be able rely on a good friend or two to keep things going.
My thought was that would require some common design patterns/ processes and standardisation.
I also have these thoughts because eventually Id like to support other family members with self hosted services at their places. Standardising hardware, configurations etc makes that much simpler.
How have others approached this?
Another consideration would be building communities around platforms and instances. That’s how many of the open source world thrives!
Yeah this was what I was thinking. Interested in what people have out there. I dont like reinventing the wheel - Id probably make it an irregular polygon
There are different approaches or sentiments that bring people together. There’s for example the left-politics platform disroot.org and they have also developed some solutions of their own (as in not only hosting, but coding). Autistici colective has this calendar called ganzo or similar iirc. That’s something amazing to me.
Im ‘between’ jobs at the moment. opportunities for connecting through community projects is attractive right now.
Interesting - I will have a look at disroot.org. Im not immediately understanding them but thats probably because where I encounter it I try to read whats available in Spanish to start.
