nix<p>The <a href="https://social.coop/tags/30DayFOSSChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>30DayFOSSChallenge</span></a> this year will be interesting... I have very little left to <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a>-ify in my life. I'm leaning towards the following goals:</p><p>* Contribute to certain projects (like OSM) to make them more useful to me<br>* Reduce reliance on hosting companies and either self host at home or use <a href="https://social.coop/tags/sneakernet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sneakernet</span></a> solutions (not strictly Foss related but it does help reduce potential proprietary reliance)<br>* Educate/support others<br>* See what's new in FOSS since last time (especially games)</p>

Have friends. Have social media. But be aware that our time might be short. We might have to build the infrastructure while we can. Those of us who can should build for the rest of us who have other things on their mind. We should build this to be as easy to use as possible. We should build this so that we can detach from the public Internet and it will still work.“<br><br><a href="https://fedi.jaenis.ch/tags/sneakernet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SneakerNet</span></a> <a href="https://fedi.jaenis.ch/tags/buildthefuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuildTheFuture</span></a></p>

1 tripod in 3 trenchcoats<p>Hmmm... did anyone ever think about making a sort of local bulletin board system with a small computer/old phone/sbc? The machine provides a wifi hot spot, but when logged on people only have access to a single local website where they can post messages to one another.</p><p>One could even have messages carried between multiple of these systems <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/sneakernet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sneakernet</span></a> style. Kind of an alternet.</p>
