My cofounders and I just open-sourced the first few commits towards a federated recurring-payments platform geared towards supporting independent and small groups of creatives. https://github.com/wecohere/nourish.party

We're going to be hacking on it over the winter break, and are super interested in help with ops/infra, marketing, and design!

The sticker designs are in. We'd like to thank @drwho @brian @athanael and, of course, #XKCD for ideas (and our graphic designer for implementation).

Find us at #34C3 and ye shall receive. Stay #Cyber my friends!

You're turning #federated #systems into #SinglePointsOfFailure, all over again.

You can host an instance, from your house! At least pick other providers, or even a #colo.

If you keep a paper journal or diary, how do you keep it casually private (ie, safe from roommates, loved ones, and guests, not from the NSA)?

* tiny lock on the book itself?
* a hiding place you return it to?
* a document safe or gun safe, or locking desk drawer?
