<description>We are very proud to introduce Federated &ldquo;Core&rdquo; to the wide world. 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&rsquo;s software-as-a-service offerings, in a self-hosted environment but without the aggravation and technical commitment self-hosting requires.</description>

<description>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!</description>

<description>At Federated, we try to put our tools, our digital tools, where our mouth is. We don&rsquo;t used centralized software for almost nothing to run our business preferring to use Federated Core and other self-hosted open-source projects.
|
|
While we have systems running (virtual machines) for Windows and macOS testing, we run Linux on the desktop with most of us choosing to run Pop!_OS. The &ldquo;tile windows&rdquo; manager and integration with Federated services makes this a winner.</description>

<title> The Future of Cloud Computing</title>

|
|
<description>Cloud 1.0 At Joyent, my previous startup, we literally invented &ldquo;cloud computing&rdquo;. We figured developers would appreciate the ability to purchase an &ldquo;on-demand data center&rdquo; in order to build web applications at scale without the enormous up-front infrastructure costs previously associated with datacenters.
|
|
This all seems like old-hat today, but at the time, in the early 2000s, we were felt like pioneers.
|
|
Centralization Sucks What happened with cloud infrastructure is a story, in the technology universe, as old as time.</description>

<description>Using All The Software Components to Build Federated Core One of our best decisions, and we also had a number of bad decisions (but that&rsquo;s for another blog post), was to &ldquo;trial&rdquo; test different open-source software packages to see if we could fruitfully use them as a distributed, decentralized team building a stack of software, documentation, marketing materials for Federated Core.
|
|
We used Nextcloud as a traffic control. Nextcloud Files worked for sharing files and commenting on content.</description>

<title>Dark Side of Centralization</title>

<description>Much like the incredible expense of all the software-as-a-service offerings today, when taken in aggragate, in the 1960s and 1970s, computing was a &ldquo;big company&rdquo; sport because of expense. Large computer companies sold mainframes and smaller mainframes (called &ldquo;minis&rdquo;) and were very content with the status quo and profits.
|
|
When the idea of personal computers came along, no establish computer company had any desire to play along. In fact, when Steve Wozniak created the Apple I personal computer, he offered it to his employer Hewlett-Packard five times but the big-computing company had no interest.</description>

<title>Power of Free and Open-Source</title>

<description>Choosing Free and Open Source Maybe Federated Core is the first time you and your team or business are explicitly choosing free and open-source software over some other solution that is costly and proprietary. In that case, we thought we would lay out why you&rsquo;ve made the right choice.
|
|
Is it Really &ldquo;Free&rdquo;? But let&rsquo;s get the elephant in the room out of the way first. Federated Computer charges $39/month, so how is anything &ldquo;free&rdquo;?</description>

|
|
<description>The Origins of Federated Most of the founders of Federated Computer come from an earlier company that worked on decentralization called &ldquo;Joyent&rdquo;. You can read some of that story in a blog post I wrote when Joyent was sold to Samsung at this link.
|
|
The picture above shows the first few engineers and designers who worked on Joyent, including the now tremendously successful Apple, Dallas Cowboys, and other topics blogger and podcast John Gruber in the red shirt.</description>

<description>The Condition Oh, this is different than my iProud! I can&rsquo;t use that. I don&rsquo;t understand how to use this&hellip;Google does it for me. I don&rsquo;t care if they are watching me! Everybody likes Furries. What do I have to hide?
|
|
We&rsquo;d change, but it&rsquo;s going to mean we can&rsquo;t benefit from being limp cucks for Microsoft. They will tell us how we should work on our team and what we can or cannot do with our data.</description>
