Book launch of Make Rojava Green Again at SOAS. The social ecology aspects of the project there.
Itβs a lovely looking book. Proceeds go to fund projects of the Internationalist Commune in Rojava.
Nice to see coop principles in the appendix.

Static indieweb stuff might be worth a gander in case any of the ideas are useful (https://indieweb.org/static_site). e.g. webmention.io + telegraph provide incoming/outgoing webmention support (S2S inbox/outbox in a sense) for statics.

"Members of the FDN Federation are Non-Profit Internet Service Providers sharing common values: volunteer-based, solidarity-driven, democratic and non-profit working; defense and promotion of Net neutrality.
As such, the FDN Federation aims at making its members be heard in debates about freedom of speech and Net Neutrality."With associations like these we could rebuild the Internet from scratch, but right.

@fitheach The picture on the candle is Slavoj Ε½iΕΎek. He's a popular modern philosopher, who (at least in the past, I'm not very knowledgeable of all his ideas) has been fairly critical of capitalism and neoliberalism.
Given that, and that he seems a bit of an oddball, I find his face slapped on to a candle you can buy in a shop just kind of surprising and comical.

Hmm. Not so sure that they really miss me.

It's easier to imagine the end of capitalism than it is to imagine the end of the world.
Honestly. Give it a go.

Currently I write my blog posts in markdown in emacs and use pandoc to convert them to HTML to paste into Wordpress. Would be good to have a more streamlined way of getting markdown into WP.

I gave a short session on the indieweb at a friend's developer open house.

"The citizen's identification with ... the 'nation,' 'state,' or 'body politic' obscures the core of his or her political existence as *governed*, obliterating the citizen's possible partnership with citizens of other nations or with noncitizens."

The report on the sustainability of open source, written by Nadia Eghbal in 2016, identifies the problem well enough but doesn't have much of a solution.
It's written from the venture capital perspective, so startup culture is uncritically endorsed and there are various other questionable assumptions about corporate involvement. In some places there are also references to the myth of the lone developer ("rockstar" type thinking).
The problem it describes is that the current economy depends heavily on software and that underneath the glossy startups the infrastructure comprises largely of Free Software developed and maintained by a relatively small community of "key contributors". The software economy is mostly free riding upon the digital infrastructure base, and there isn't much systematic thinking about how to keep the infrastructure level going in the longer term.
I'd describe this problem in terms of the failing social reproduction of developers. It might be easier than ever to learn python, but it can be hard to make ends meet while running a software project, even if it's vital to the free rider economy.
It gives the classic example of OpenSSL - something which runs on the majority of internet servers and yet which in 2014 at the time of heartbleed was maintained by just one developer in precarious circumstances and hardly funded.
