I've never created a mobile app but was expecting to put one out shortly to give easy access to a secure decentralised web: the #AutonomiDweb
Today's announcement from fascist enabling Google makes it more likely, so that more people can get acquainted with #freedom supporting options before the doors close and we have to focus on our own mobile platforms.
It's hard to walk a tightrope when each foot is urging a different course! (Re earlier boost).

I went to the #dwebcampcascadia and it was beautiful! #dweb #cascadia #camp

@adz of the panda gang is co-organizing the DWeb Seminar next week (August 13 - 15) at the @internetarchive in San Francisco. It will be a gathering of researchers and developers around various peer-to-peer projects to reflect over the last years of building p2p systems and formulating ideas for the future.
During the DWeb Weekend (August 16 - 17) workshops and presentations are planned, including one on p2panda! Come if you are in this area!
Christian, Wendy, kev, nanomonkey, Dmitri and me organised this event here over the last months and finally it is happening next week at the @internetarchive in SF!
The idea is to bring people together to reflect about the last years of building peer-to-peer software and formulate ideas for the future.
* DWeb Seminar, August 13 - 15: we've invited ten researchers and developers from different p2p projects to come, cook and live together, share learnings and formulate a publication
* DWeb Weekend, August 16 - 17: Public days full of roundtable discussions, workshops, presentations and demos
Come and join us if you can! For Sunday we still have free slots for your talks and workshops.
In less than 2 weeks I'll be participating in the first DWeb Seminar in San Francisco on behalf of @spritely! I'm grateful for the invitation and excited to meet a lot of p2p people for the first time.
Following the seminar is DWeb Weekend at the Internet Archive that is open to the public, so come on by if you're in the area! I can show and tell about all sorts of Spritely things on Demo Day.
Decentralization matters.
With dozens of terabytes of data describing human rights violations, @hrdag has ensured there are multiple backups of our data in multiple jurisdictions.

As a human rights organization, we prefer not to put our important data on Amazon's S3, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
Instead, we've been investigating alternatives like
@ipfs, privately-hosted S3, and other distributed storage ideas. #decentralization #dweb

I had the honour to be invited by @ZFAVClub to participate in an online live workshop exploring the mighty and wonderful CLI tool of the @internetarchive, in collaboration with @dweb
If you are interested in data preservation and digital commons, please do watch it, as we did our best to shed some light on the most powerful yet little known features of this software.
The #InternetArchive is an invaluable resource for unlimited, public, open, and free storage for the whole Universe. It seems too good to be true, but it is!
We also touched upon the value of #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #decentralization, and #publicDomain.
Use the Internet Archive like a Hacker-Librarian!
Join a hands-on workshop where we’ll demystify the CLI and turn it into your super power for archiving, accessing, and uploading content to the @internetarchive.
Hosted by the @ZFAVClub, with the participation of @tommi, we’ll learn and share our experience using the awesome ia #CLI tool!
Jul 3, 16:00 UTC (9 PDT, 18 CEST)
PARTICIPATION IS FREE

For folks hosting an instance (or otherwise hosting/developing #dweb infrastructure), I recently wrote this explainer on how cops in the US demand data from hosts, and what you can do.
