We are still dependent on others to maintain safe spaces and store our digital things. It will be a long time before we can help each other build and maintain such things on our own. Today, we recommend products and services that are affordable, but we remain faceless consumers.

My concern about the decentralized communities is the technical burden. Knowledge sufficient to launch and sustain servers and networks, maintain bandwidth, keep plenty of disk space for endless growth, and somehow also maintain time and enthusiasm to participate.

I’m intrigued by Lemmy and Mastodon and decentralized projects. Every bit as much as ARPANET was built to be a platform for communication that can route around damage, I believe that decentralized online communities can be similarly sustainable.

Modern tools are suddenly very hardcore about PIN codes, passwords and biometrics. Humans are not.

All I can say, as your support professional, is that it’s time to get serious. You don’t have to remember every password as long as you invest some time in a tool that will.

Saints at bat versus the Stripers

Storybook ending to the game: Saints were down by one at the bottom of the ninth. Bases were loaded after 2 outs. Final hit of the game hit the home run wall. Saints won, 13-9.

For a few minutes, I was thinking today was Thursday. I was thinking about winding my week down and what I was looking forward to on Saturday and Sunday. Then, realizing today was actually Tuesday, I have been forced to make different plans.

I’m drinking coffee too late in the day. Still? Mmm. Delicious

Unboxing takes time, but all the things are back home. It feels good. I am grateful to be back.

Best Father’s Day gift ever: I found my wallet. Intact. Or, maybe the giant remodel we just finished and we can move in tomorrow. It’s a great day.

On the other hand, Bluesky isn’t picking up every post, today. I’m wondering if syndication is limited on some level or is simply not reliable yet.
