<description>The Inevitable Revolution: Why Betting on Bitcoin and Open-Source Software Is a No-Brainer Step aside, traditional finance and Big Tech surveillance capitalist—there&rsquo;s a new sheriff in town. If you&rsquo;ve been hibernating for the past decade, l&rsquo;ve got news for you: Bitcoin and Open-Source Software (OSS) are not just disruptors; they&rsquo;re game-changers that are redefining the foundations of our modern techno reality world. Federated Computer knows where the smart money is heading, and we&rsquo;re all in.</description>

|

<description>In a world filled with uncertainty, rapid change, and the ever-present question of technology&rsquo;s role in shaping our future, one thing remains constant: the power of human ingenuity. Recently, Marc Andreesen penned a thought-provoking piece titled &ldquo;The Techno-Optimist Manifesto,&rdquo; where he masterfully articulated his faith in technology as a force for good. His words resonate deeply with us at Federated Computer, as we too believe that technology, particularly open-source software and Bitcoin, holds the keys to unlocking a brighter future.</description>

<description>In the &ldquo;The Bitcoin Nation State&rdquo; thesis, Samson Mow explores the transformative potential of Bitcoin as a catalyst for reshaping traditional notions of sovereignty. However, a parallel movement is also on the rise, one that complements Mow&rsquo;s vision by empowering governments, individuals and small businesses to exercise digital sovereignty through free and open-source software as a service (FOSSaaS).

<description>Reclaiming Your Privacy: Why Jitsi from Federated Computer is the Safer Choice Over Zoom In recent years, video conferencing platforms have become essential tools for staying connected. However, recent updates to Zoom&rsquo;s Terms of Service (TOS) have raised concerns about privacy and data ownership. As conscientious users, we must understand our rights and alternatives available for protecting our privacy. Let&rsquo;s explore the changes in Zoom&rsquo;s TOS and why Jitsi, hosted on Federated Computer, emerges as the safer and more privacy-centric option.</description>

<description>In this digital age, our lives have become intricately entwined with the digital realm. From social media, e-commerce and home automation to ride share and food delivery, we willingly hand over our personal data to centralized behemoths like Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, without fully comprehending the risks involved. But what lies beneath the vaneer of convenience and interconnectivity? In this post, we seek shed light on the dark side of centralization and explore the need for digital sovereignty and privacy.</description>

<description>Facebook is Censoring My History! As I scroll through my Facebook feed most of what I see from my history of posts is now censored! What was once seen by friends and family, no one can see anymore. It’s maddening! Many of these posts were sharing information about what was occurring with Edward Snowden and how all of the big tech companies were spying on us, everywhere and even with the government!</description>

|
||
<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>

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>

|

<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>

|
||
<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>

<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>

|
||
<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>

<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 Good and the Bad How&rsquo;s Proton Mail hanging when it comes to being &ldquo;the most secure email&rdquo; on the planet?
|
||
https://restoreprivacy.com/email/reviews/protonmail/
|
||
If the service is centralized, it is not secure from governments. End-to-end encryption sounds neat, but once you interact with an email counterparty not using encryption, the game is up. Requires third-party software to work with email clients/standards.</description>

By the way, there are so many great servers for sale on eBay with 16G ram, Xeon processors, etc. that work very well as a home server without the fragility and for roughly the same initial price.</description>

in the course of the law-enforcement investigation of the January 6th insurrection, police got access to the traitors’ Signal conversations

An &ldquo;unauthorized party&rdquo; got access to the third-party storage where LastPass stores backups. When you&rsquo;re dealing with cloud services, there is tremendous &ldquo;counterparty&rdquo; risk, as they would say in the fiat financial markets. If you&rsquo;re using a cloud service, that service can swear all day that they are secure&hellip;but security is a combination of all the links, including the weak ones.</description>

<description>Drowning in AI Generated Garbage It&rsquo;s a contrarian opinion to opine that AI is anything but garbage (i.e. something written by a 5th grader doing a report). Look, we use ChatGPT to generate the summaries for these link list posts, because we are lazy, and we want to spend more time PC gaming. We&rsquo;re old school that way. But most of the summaries require a significant amount of re-writing&hellip;so how lazy are we after all?</description>

<description>Bitcoin is the Rediscovery of Money In this article, the idea of &ldquo;money&rdquo; is defined as the &ldquo;removal of counterparty risk&rdquo;. If we think about that, it is a pretty good definition in the context of some &ldquo;value&rdquo; to be exchanged between parties with the understanding of the &ldquo;value&rdquo; in relation to the parties themselves. That is the risk, removed.

The risk associated with bitcoin today, in as much as we can talk about risk on a time horizon, is one of volatility.</description>

<description>You think your Telegram Data is Secure? If the thing you&rsquo;re using is centralized, it is so much easier for the &ldquo;authorities&rdquo; to compel disclosure of data. Case in point is Telegram who was recently forced to disclose names, phone numbers, and IP address accused of sharing material thought to infringe copyright.

<description>New calendar design Thunderbird is getting better and better. Among many of the FOSS reasons to use Thunderbird, it&rsquo;s possible to set up Thunrderbird so that your settings move from machine to machine. Nice! But the integrated calendar was always sub-par. Looks like a future update named &ldquo;Supernova&rdquo; will fix that.

<description>A service to resist on-line surveillance From the post, why end-to-end encryption is not enough: &ldquo;End-to-end encryption has become more commonplace with major online messaging and communication tools, but encoding what you say to your friends online does not mean that the service provider cannot see who you contacted, when, from where. This metadata might be even more important than the content of an online conversation.&rdquo;
|
||
https://nlnet.nl/project/katzenpost/
|

You have to think about the metadata in the same way we think about how services like Facebook develop &ldquo;graphs&rdquo; of us for the purposes of advertising and scores.</description>

There&rsquo;s a simple principle. If it is centralized, it is not secure. It&rsquo;s the fiat of services. Another note: it&rsquo;s always &ldquo;anti corruption&rdquo; or &ldquo;anti waste&rdquo;. Both are just gas-lighting for &ldquo;anti freedom&rdquo;.</description>

<description>Going Beyond Cryptogrpahy This wide-ranging discussion proposes a lifestyle.
|

https://dergigi.com/2022/09/10/cryptography-is-not-enough/
|
||
According to the article published by Dergigi, cryptography alone is not sufficient to provide complete security for digital systems and data. While cryptography is an essential tool for protecting data against unauthorized access and tampering, it cannot address all of the security challenges that digital systems face.
|
||
The article notes that cryptography is vulnerable to various attacks, including brute force attacks, side-channel attacks, and quantum attacks, which could potentially compromise the security of encrypted data.</description>

Hosting your own email is hard, but not impossible. The technical aspects are easy. Getting your email to someone with an outlook.com address are practical impossible. But maybe you should just pick up the phone and tell that person Microsoft (for example) doesn&rsquo;t want them to get email from anyone except those who Microsoft says are &ldquo;good&rdquo;.</description>

In fact, we privacy advocates don&rsquo;t have to answer: &ldquo;a question worth posing to anyone unilaterally opposed to Google’s approach is how big that number would have to be to have made it worthwhile&rdquo;. One case of child sex exploitation is horrible. However, the issue at root here is really a queasiness with &ldquo;free will&rdquo;.

This will always be an option so long as coercive government (a redundancy) has control over the network itself. The solution is, over time, to build free networks unburdened by government control. Examples are (ham) radio, LORA networks, and other forms of free and uncersorable communication.</description>

|
||
<description>Explanation of Value for Value Many &ldquo;media&rdquo; or &ldquo;social&rdquo; businesses today rely on anadvertising model to pay the bills. However, the model itself begins to distort the message over time because the economic means (advertisers) will dictate what is acceptable content and even, in time, acceptable customers. The solution is value for value.
|
||
https://value4value.info/
|
||
Going further, value for value can be understood as a way of life, as the site says &ldquo;a mindset of abundance&rdquo; where an ecosystem develops of free exchange of &ldquo;goods&rdquo; understood as &ldquo;time, talent, and treasure&rdquo;.</description>

What a surprise. The key argument is that it is too difficult to decentralize. And that decentralization leads to stagnation because we all have to agree on protocols and therefore it is tough to change them. But there are multiple flaws in this way of thinking, and the post lays them out well.</description>

<description>From the perspective of a notorious shitcoiner&hellip; It&rsquo;s funny how he&rsquo;s right on &ldquo;decentralization&rdquo; but every one of his implementations was backed by some (evil) centralization scheme. We&rsquo;re not hear to prove that, just a bold assertion. But he&rsquo;s right about decentralization.

<description>How to use Bitcoin and Lightning on the Tor network We are big fans of Bitcoin and the Lightning network at Federated and recommend using it over Tor. But it can be technically intimidating.
|
||
https://blog.lopp.net/tor-only-bitcoin-lightning-guide/
|
||
The purpose of Bitcoin and Lightning is to fully decentralize money. The purpose of Tor is to share as little information on the public network as possible. Together they can be very effective.</description>

The US Department of Justice claims they filed the indictment because the firm expressly catered to those committing criminal acts. But actions like this raise concerns about the claims of authorities that encryption, in and of itself, is a prohibited &ldquo;tool&rdquo; for sale.</description>

The article states that tax filing services such as TurboTax, H&amp;R Block, and TaxAct have been using tracking tools from Facebook and other third-party companies on their websites, which allow them to collect data on users' browsing behavior and interests.</description>

Self-ownership means &ldquo;anonymity&rdquo; and to &ldquo;communicate securly with anyone on the planet without being observed by a third party&rdquo;. Of course, there are a number of parts to this puzzle. The hardware, the client software and operating system, the server hardware, software and operating system, and then the network and the means of utilizing that network.</description>
