  • Yeah I'm following ActivityPods development for quite some time and although its slow the is some progress made. I wanted to use this post to inform people and generate a little enthusiasm for the project.

  • Basically, you should choose your distro according to the available UIs (DesktopEnvironments) as well as the philosophy and back-end configuration of the distribution.

    UI (desktop environments):

    • KDE (Windows like)
    • Gnome (MacOS like)
    • XFCE (very barebones, windows like)
    • Cinnamon (also windows like)
    • CosmicDE (comming soon, mix of KDE and Gnome)


    \ Distros:

    • Fedora: very stable yet a very progressive philosophy (usually implement major changes first). Comes in Gnome, KDE and other variants (spins)
    • PopOS!: "Just works" distro, great for NVidia cards. Currently still using Gnome but will soon switch to CosmicDE.
    • ArcoLinux: If you want something beginner-friendly but want to be able to change everything later. Extremely flexible, comes in many flavours like Gnome, KDE, ...
  • Probably. But it shouldn't be much of a hurdle.

  • Your smtp will still be able to connect to other services afaik. Its just about the hosted website.

  • I just meant it as a static domain to host stuff. If you don't care about anonymity you can just reduce the hops and it will get fairly stable.

  • This one will be a bit trickier because of federation. Maybe it is even impossible. But for git hosting, website hosting, email, your cloud, various chats software or torrents it should just work.

  • Solid is just the protocol. ActivityPods is the adaptation for the fediverse and thus should work with any service on this network. So yes, one account for all of them.

  • For most use cases you can host everything on I2P.

    • You can create unlimited domains for free
    • Its censorship resistant There are some caveats though:
    • The network is rather slow (but not too slow in my opinion)
    • You need to configure your router or you device to access the I2P net
  • Well then keep doing what you are doing.

  • https://www.trustpilot.com/review/njal.la basically a bunch of people complain that thy cant access their domain names. This is possible because njalla owns the domain for you

    We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield. When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.

    I don't want to stop anyone from using it just keep this in mind.

  • Njalla had some big controversy regarding their reliability and trustworthiness. I'd stay away from their services.

  • And that's what web3 tries to achieve. P2P + incentives

  • Exactly. In the end it should and will always be the consumers choice to either go with a cheap knock-of product or pay a bit extra to support the original creator. People who illegally buy cheap copies will continue to do so in the future but those who really want to see progress will spare some money to push their favourite projects.

  • Yes, nobody is stopping you from doing everything you planned to do with your invention.
