Self host even more… Use Gemini even more
Thank you so much for this. It opened me to a whole new world! <3 I think we need to spread the knowledge about this more.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! 😁
Using gemini makes me feel like I’m in the 90’s again just discovering the internet. It’s such a nice feeling using it, its like you’re interacting with people again rather than applications
Gemini?
You will need a new browser like lagrange
the first few very interesting “capsules” I found are:
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/capcom/gemini://midnight.pub/A simple Web-like hypertext system without styles and scripts. The protocol can be implemented in two days by a complete idiot (I have my own Gemini viewer, I may not be terribly proud of it, but I like it).
Is this like Gopher?
Yes, but with modern technologies where easily done. TLS, markdown-like markup, MIME, prompts for input.
Interesting, I’ll check it out
Stop using the Internet. Seriously.
I already only used open source products for decades now, and the Internet is just a network, you can use different networks, different protocols if you want, even embedded on current Internet protocols, or maybe use even something that completely sidesteps the Internet
Either way, the Internet has mostly been a failure
what different networks or protocols does exist?
Thanks!
I would like to think I would just stop using the Internet, or at least adopt a protocol like Gemini. How that would work exactly is hard to say, since the Internet is almost mandatory these days. Still, you have to be willing to inconvenience yourself to maintain at least some control on privacy and security online.
You opened me up to a whole new world with Gemini. I think we need to spread the word about this more. Thanks so much. <3
Stop using any sites that require ID.
Ditto. Also:
- Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
- Go to the mall =O
- Go to the library
- Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
- Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
- Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill
- Buy stamps! (and stationery, no more ecards or evites)
- Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
- Use iPhone to make phone calls
- Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
- Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
- Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part
…just to name a few.
Don’t use iPhone, use Fairphone with /e/OS or any dump phone, even the old Nokia in your drawer, which for sure still works, and only for calls.
Use the I2P network
I’ve been seriously thinking about going back to Nokia. De-googled a few years ago, stopped using iCloud and switched to cross-platform and open-source software.
Currently, the Murena Fairphone 4 is the only one you can use in the US (Fairphone doesn’t directly deal with US customers) and incompatible with Verizon and AT&T. They recommend T-Mobile for US coverage.
Also heard about Cape here on a Lemmy post But Fairphone is “not eligible yet”.
This is the old Nokia 3650 that’s in my drawer. I loved it! Then AT&T made me upgrade because they were no longer supporting the old networks.
Thank you, Zerush! It’s nice to know that someone else thinks the same way.
If you need your id to access internet: not use it anymore, selfhosting go brrr
If you need your id for all content-sharing websites like social media or microblogging: return back to good ol webrings and static websites. Can’t kill the web on its core principles. No algorithms, pure passion and creativity.
I am going to go on the internet and tell lies about my identity
I’ll continue to not ask for ID and run my own services open to anyone and everyone.
wow this is a really cool project
Cool project! :D
Honestly, back off. The more tech literate I get, the less tech I want in my life.
This is exactly how I feel too! As a “cloud engineer” (even the titles are pointless) the last thing I want to do is to have anything to do with tech whatsoever, even if I like my job
P2P more?
Yes, for example using Croc
Yeah, I’ll be fine without the internet.
