š I'm a hobbyist programmer and sysadmin who is passionate about #CooperativeTechnology, #smalltech, and other forms of user empowerment with technology. You may have seen me before.
I'm interested in #Gemini and other small internet protocols, along with mobile Linux, real sustainability, and various computer languages (including Rust and Zig).
I won't follow too many people here, or engage in politics, but I will share some updates on the things I'm working on.
I believe the process for public funding should itself be public so you can read the entire submission on my blog (with better formatting than the text-only original submission, a video, and pictures) and Iāll be posting future communication there also:

NLnet Grant Application for Domain
This is my application to get NLNet funding to work on Domain as part of the User-Operated Internet Fund1 I feel itās important that such grant applications are made public so everyone has visibility into the process.Aral Balkan

Itās not about building clones of Twitter, YouTube, etc. Thereās no way anyone can self-host a dozen different services. Instead, itās about having a single-tenant place on the Web that you own and control without technical knowhow; a place you can add Twitter, YouTube, etc., *features* to.

To establish a broad #SmallTech movement would require people full-time involved with making that happen. That's way more than volunteering here and there can establish. I am facing the same thing with SocialHub / Fediverse and before that in Humane Tech Community.
Now looking at #SocialCoding as a means to bring improvements here (not yet launched).

Hello! Weāre a tiny and independent two-person not-for-profit based in Ireland. We are building the Small Web. No, itās not web3, itās web0.Small Technology Foundation
Also, remember that you can set up Owncast on a VPS with the following Site.js command:
site enable --owncast
Thatās it.
Itāll be up and running with automatic TSL certificates and everything. You just need to sign into the admin, change your password/stream key and maybe take a few moments to customise your site info :)

This updates the automatic Letās Encrypt (LE) functionality to ensure that certificates can continue to be provisioned and renewed past the breaking change LE will implement on September 15, 2022.

Updated:
- Use latest Auto Encrypt dependency to avoid certificate provisioning/renewal breaking in mid-September of this year.
@small-tech/https is a drop-in standard Node.js HTTPS module replacement with both automatic development-time (localhost) certificates via Auto Encrypt Localhost and automatic production certificates via Auto Encrypt.

Updated:
- Certificate signing request (CSR) now uses SHA-256 instead of obsolete SHA-1 which Letās Encrypt will stop accepting as of September 15, 2022
Auto Encrypt is a library that adds automatic Letās Encrypt provisioning to your Node.js servers. Your TLS certificates are automatically provisioned the first time someone hits your server.

Only production mode is functional right now but itās a maintainable codebase (not like the jumble the prototype was as I was working to get things working for the first time).
Also: So. Little. Code. š
Now to add more tests and the development mode server functionality as I go.
Yay, progress!

Been refactoring the hell out of NodeKit recently to take it from prototype to maintainable app.
Nice to have a little win.
Now to find all the other things that are no doubt broken :)

How?
Through designing systems that use single-tenant servers owned and controlled by individuals as always-on nodes to provide findability and availability in an otherwise peer-to-peer topology.

What is the Small Web?
Today, I want to introduce you to a concept ā and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age ā that Iāve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about: The Small Web.Aral Balkan
Multi-user federated servers are inherently open to economies of scale and thus to embrace, extend & extinguish.
Fediverse servers should be designed _so they cannot scale beyond a certain size_ to ensure no node becomes a centre.
If your aim is to devolve wealth/power/control, vertical scale is your failure mode. If you want to raise mini Zuckerbergs, by all means, scale onā¦

But what it does is correctly model personhood, which the āservers of manyā model doesnāt.
Itās the small tech/web philosophy. Communities are made up of individuals. Thatās what we model.

I try to toot interesting things related to #activism about #ClimateChange / #ClimateCrisis / #EarthBreakdown, from the perspective of #degrowth / #ClimateJustice / #sustainability. I'm one tiny part of #ExtinctionRebellion.
I build #FOSS / #OpenSource / #commons and #SmallTech using #rust and will write more about that soon.
