We built Federated Core because we were tired of the surveillance happening with common productivity tools on the web, our collection of tools was costing a small fortune every month, and it was a pain to get everything to work together. Design Goals Federated Core was built to provide regular users who wanted privacy, great features and functions, the right price, basically all the benefits of today’s software-as-a-service offerings, in a self-hosted environment but without the aggravation and technical commitment self-hosting requires. https://www.federated.computer/blog/bitcoin-time-fourth-revolution/ Mon, 05 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.federated.computer/blog/bitcoin-time-fourth-revolution/ How Bitcoin Becomes Money in the Next Decade I have followed bitcoin for over a decade now and one of the best quotes I have seen is from Paul Buchheit, “Bitcoin may be the TCP/IP of money.” Just as TCP/IP facilitated the free flow of information and transformed how we communicate and access data globally, Bitcoin will have a similar impact on the transfer of value and the way we perceive and use money, MoIP, money over Internet protocol! https://www.federated.computer/blog/digital-sovereign-toolbox/ Fri, 26 May 2023 20:18:07 +0600 https://www.federated.computer/blog/digital-sovereign-toolbox/ Using Pop OS, Graphene, Federated Core and other Open Source tools https://www.federated.computer/blog/the-future-of-cloud-computing/ Thu, 25 May 2023 20:18:07 +0600 https://www.federated.computer/blog/the-future-of-cloud-computing/ A lot has changed about how we work, and most people have no choice but to transition to working from home. But even before the pandemic, an increasing number of people bid goodbye to their onerous commute to become freelancers and telecommuters. Thanks to ever-evolving technologies such as Skype, Zoom, Facetime, Google Hangouts, Slack, and cloud computing, it’s no longer necessary to be in an office to be productive. In fact, most tasks can be done just as effectively from home. https://www.federated.computer/blog/in-praise-of-thunderbird/ Tue, 02 May 2023 20:18:07 +0600 https://www.federated.computer/blog/in-praise-of-thunderbird/ Why the new Thunderbird deserves our respect. https://www.federated.computer/blog/dark-side-of-centralization/ Mon, 01 May 2023 12:57:56 +0600 https://www.federated.computer/blog/dark-side-of-centralization/ Think piece on the dark side of centralization. https://www.federated.computer/blog/power-of-free-and-open-source/ Thu, 27 Apr 2023 12:59:58 +0600 https://www.federated.computer/blog/power-of-free-and-open-source/ Thinkpiece on free and open source software. https://www.federated.computer/blog/how-we-built-federated-core/ Sat, 15 Apr 2023 20:18:07 +0600 https://www.federated.computer/blog/how-we-built-federated-core/ Buildinf Federated Core https://www.federated.computer/blog/federated-founders-and-our-joyent-history/ Sun, 06 Sep 2020 20:18:07 +0600 https://www.federated.computer/blog/federated-founders-and-our-joyent-history/ A lot has changed about how we work, and most people have no choice but to transition to working from home.

The trouble is, kinda like cable and entertainment pricing, all the subscriptions really start to add up, and they don’t really work well together.

(Assuming five users, here’s a handy reference list to understand how Federated Core stacks up to the competition. The idea is to give you a sense of what other products you’d have to collect together to make up a Federated Core for five users. https://www.federated.computer/developers/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.federated.computer/developers/ How developers can publish to Federated Computer. https://www.federated.computer/documentation/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.federated.computer/documentation/ Federated Computer documentation can be found at this link.
