While I'd like to respond to more of solderpunk's
article later (and I've got to admit, I'm endlessly impressed with their writing -- it's well thought out and fun to read in a way where you can just *tell* they spent time on it, something that I'm definitely not very good at --- but I suppose I said that at the jump with this blue gemlog), I *do* want to respond to this small, ending paragraph of it now:
I haven't yet made any firm decisions or public announcements, but I do intend to institute a limit on the number of simultaneously active hosting accounts I will setup at gemini.circumlunar.space, in the relatively near future. The main motivation for this is to actively encourage more people to step up and offer hosting services of their own to the community, so that we can grow into a decentralised, resilient and diverse network without a few small points of accumulation. If you're not much of a writer but have some basic sysadmin chops, offering hosting space is unquestionably one of the most important contributions you can make to the growth of the Small Internet.
This is yet another kick in the pants for me to set up my *primary* gemini presence elsewhere -- because I'd like to have it hosted myself and also because I want to ~weird~ up the space a bit, I suppose.
Now that I think about it, I *do* admin a pubnix over at
which I could *easily* make my main thing -- with the added bonus that it'd be promoting a micropubnix, and I could do other stuff on it.
Of course, I'd have to post under the ~breadw name ... but that's perhaps not the worst thing in the world.
Hm.......
