Very nice! Maybe I should set up something similar myself 😃To replace my old fashioned static website.

Owning a bit of cryptocurrency while being poor:

Some days: "Oh wow, this earned me more today than I made from work. Wonder if that's what it's like being rich?"

Days when it crashes: "Oh shit, I needed that. Gotta find more work!"

Good luck! I've been in the same situation and ended up mostly freelancing rather than taking jobs. Been at it for years, it's not easy but I wouldn't trade the freedom for anything!

That sounds like an interesting project. I used d3 myself for visualising a knowledge graph on https://haha.academy/ a couple weeks ago, that was fun!

seriously i am having to learn activitypub protocol through the same way i learned IRC protocol, by fucking with it instead of reading docs

in 2018

this is amazingly bad docs

@alcinnz

Well that's the ideal scenario (but too rare!)

It doesn't have to be exclusive of course, you can be rewarded simultaneously through #Ora, karma, good vibes, reputation, and yes, money. The point is to reduce the power of money in dictating our choices ("would love to work on that #FOSS project, but gotta pay the bills...")

Thanks! I'm happy to see that :) I will have to explore Taler more in depth then. It may just be a good building block for a couple project I'm working on (http://ora.network/ and http://www.creditcommons.net/)

You could host your own, using one of:
https://nextcloud.com
https://www.seafile.com/en/home/
https://librevault.com

I can provide you with a server and set it up for you through https://cloudvault.me/

It's Taler with an e for anyone trying to look it up: https://taler.net/en/

Last time I checked it had been in development for years but not ready. Know if there's any news?

Incomplete list of problems we are trying to address when we strive for #decentralisation: profiteering, exploitation, surveillance, inequality, hierarchy, intellectual property, inaccessibility, elitism, credentialism, manipulation, conformity, idiocracy, etc...

Or simply put, power and capital.

Annoyingly some restrict their meaning of #centralisation to "I want me some of that too!" (eg. a lot of the blockchain people these days)
