• demo of pdf upload and markup with #LogSeq
  • I drag and dropped this PDF, a brochure about a cool event space in #Istanbul called The Seed:

• #LogSeq/Hierarchy is a thing I’m showing Wesley Finck
• The DWebYVR/Website is built on an #Obsidian vault and then rendered and published by Quartz

• Oh damn, I just realized that Ian wrote Smart Young BC:
• ((64d4595a-24bd-46f9-ae17-dda3dfcd4b60))

• We also wandered up to look at the Internet Archive Canada servers, and how exactly this building came to be
• We also ranted about #ActivityPub

• ((64d3d3d4-c50c-4820-94ab-fae6ffd4c638))
• Sounds like David could be interested in being a DWebYVR/Drop-In host in the future

• I’d like to see cohousing be a theme that is part of the wider set of #DWebYVR interests
• From my point of view, pooling capital and collaboration is the umbrella that could cover open source, Dweb, mesh networks, cohousing, and tech policy, as part of cross-disciplinary topics that we can bring people together around
• Jai is working on East Van Cohousing and he gave me a tour of some of the architectural plans and talked about some of the things planned there, like a built in coworking space
• We also talked Texada Island, buying low rise apartment buildings like the Rose Manor that I live in, and more
• I’m going to intro Jacob Sayles and Katie Davis and Cascadia Design, at the very least to advise on mesh networking for the cohousing, but also the coworking!

As self-hosters we are not going to change the face of the world. ==The other 98% of the general public is going to use hegemonic services: self-hosting is a privilege for those who have the education, time and money to put into it.== We’re only deploying solutions that work for us, individually. ==Hosting services for our relatives puts them at risk of losing their data if something happened to us.== My recommendation to most people putting services online would be: either do it for yourself only, or do it as a team with proper structure and processes. What sounds like an initiative to emancipate people could actually alienate them to you, and that is a huge responsibility. I believe it’s important to be able to self-host, even if only to prove it’s possible to do without hegemonic services. But we need to figure out how to do decentralise services and data storage for individuals at scale. This is not just a technical problem, and while #E2EE is a good starting point it’s not a silver bullet. I will expand in a further post about the role of E2EE, where it falls short, and what I think we should do as a society to improve the situation.

• This harkens back to #Agora concepts, and is something that has been discussed in the #Subconscious/Discord — follow mechanics for terms? subscribing to terms? Or namespacing, where bmcnotes/selfhosting might be my local version
