|
<p>More than three years have passed since my last blogpost. I used
|
|
to believe that a more hectic life would provide me with a
|
|
surplus of things to write about. While that holds true, the flip side
|
|
is that I now find myself with less and less time for writing.</p>
|
|
<p>Let's be honest, it's not just that. I have been growing a little bit
|
|
unsatisfied with the current evolution of the corporate web.</p>
|
|
<p>I have already touched this topic when I stopped using reddit for good
|
|
(<a href="https://francescomecca.eu/blog/2018/3/27/addio-reddit/">here, in
|
|
italian</a>) but
|
|
I really stopped to reflect when
|
|
<del>AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's</del>Microsoft
|
|
bought Github. At the time I removed the dust from my personal git
|
|
server and moved most of my stuff there. For more than a year now my
|
|
GitHub heatmap has remained empty, despite it being one of the
|
|
platforms where I used to engage the most frequently.</p>
|
|
<p>It's not that I'm exposed to more sunlight these days: I still utilize
|
|
the internet, albeit in a more pseudonymous manner now.</p>
|
|
<p>As I mastered the art of evading the corporate web everyday I
|
|
gallivanted my way across three relocations: from Paris to London and
|
|
finally to Amsterdam. My faithful companion through it all? None other
|
|
than my (t)rusty server. I bid adieu to all of the social networks in favor
|
|
of selfhosted and federated solutions. Email is now king in my social
|
|
online life but I still indulge lurking on the orange site.</p>
|
|
<p>A bunch of good friends joined me on this adventure, and we formed a
|
|
close-knit community around the services we host ourselves. We
|
|
interact daily through our servers. We also worked on a few art
|
|
projects, if you'll permit the exageration, embodying the essence of the bygone web era.
|
|
The pièce de résistance among these creations can
|
|
be accessed by playfully prodding at my IP address.</p>
|
|
<p>To be continued.</p>
