- Peer-to-peer Git: Radicle Seed Node on OpenBSD
17 Apr '24
While Git is decentralized by design, in many cases it still depends on a
classical server-client architecture. Many projects rely on GitHub, GitLab, or
another centralized platform to host their repositories and thereby make them
available to everyone. What if we could have Git, but without depending on
any centralized servers at all, and instead use it peer-to-peer?

- Stickerbombed: Star Labs StarBook Mk VI

- A Thought on Sixels
28 Mar '24
In the age of visually stunning graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and
interactive designs, there exists a timeless elegance in the simplicity of
purely text-based interfaces. From command line interfaces (CLIs) to plain
text file formats like Markdown, the beauty of text lies not only in its
minimalistic aesthetic but also in the efficiency and clarity it brings to
digital interactions.

- Build Your Own Decentralized Dropbox with Syncthing
7 Mar '24
In the world of file synchronization, most people are familiar with services
like Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. These centralized cloud solutions are
convenient but come with privacy concerns and potential security risks.
What if I told you that to synchronize files between individual devices, you
don’t need the cloud™ ?
- If You Must Use Signal, Use Molly
29 Feb '24
While I’m critical towards the Signal messenger, I understand that network
effects are strong and even though many people would much rather prefer a
different platform, it’s not easy to get friends and family onto something
better. In this brief write-up, I’ll introduce an alternative Signal client to
make using Signal at least slightly less troublesome.
