You could check out HTML5UP for some simple, well designed site templates. For your needs, maybe something like the Astral template will do?

Agreed. Most people online think having a personal website on their own domain is too much of a hassle, they won't have the knowledge or time to setup a homelab server.

We need more of the nice people you mention — with the tech knowhow and surplus of time — to maintain community services as alternatives to corporate platforms. I see a few co-op services around where member-owners pay a fee to have access to cloud storage and social platforms; that is one way to ensure the basic upkeep of such a community. I'm not sure how Chatons is financed but they certainly have a wide range of libre and private offerings!

You say that with such certainty, as if proof of stake schemes won't simply be a greenwashing alibi for accelerating validation of currencies using them, to the point of the same carbon footprint as POW.

You're simply wrong to say that POS is without environmental impact, even Ethereum's carbon reductions were only that (and not nearly as high as they claimed).

Okay, sorry for the sarcasm. I think there is a certain overlap in the language used around general privacy principles and the more... out there, political anti-society movements.

Sometimes it's innocent and random but when I see somebody putting cryptocurrency up front in their project and using "sovereign computing" as a tagline, my internal crackpot detector goes nuts. I'm fairly sure that deep down these people would want to see the world burn to stay warm toward the end.

The title literally says "Sovereign computing". Are you okay? I do recommend reading from the top down, for more information please re-read.

It's been a buzzword among the ultra-libertarian, anti-government, tinfoil hat wearing set for decades.

True. Tipi, Umbrel and CasaOS are savvy enough to do this. But do you really want to teach more cryptobros to slip their message under the threshold? I'm fine that they show their true goals front and centre, it's like a note saying "hit me" taped to their backs.

"Sovereignty", that big white whale of the dysfunctional far right?

I mean, that quote is truer for any regular currency than it is for shitcoin. The only unique thing about cryptocurrency (and especially POW ones) is that it's flushing the environment down the drain even quicker than bog standard hypercapitalism. And still you can't use your fucking monopoly money to buy a bottled water.

Funny how Bountysource deteriorated at the exact time cryptocurrency got involved.

halm , 1 month ago to Fediverse in Poast owner was bragging about poisoning the results Cloutier of Bird.Makeup gets from their server, if you use that service we need an alternative lol. Currently I use my friend's small Nitter.

Does Nitter still work for you? Because several instances officially closed when "Twitter blocked the last known way to access their network without a user account" (quoted from nitter.cz).

It just cited the wrong Neal Stephenson book, so not way off.

Yeah well, there are surveillance reasons you don't want to rely on services based in the USA.
