This is why we need to build resilient alternatives for everything that can still interoperate with existing technology. It doesn’t matter if it’s a flood, a storm or an orange dictator, the internet shouldn’t just be turned off. Also not for any single individuals.
If they have a host and a processor that does not bow to fascists the Internet is pretty robust. Now people may need to connect to you IP, if all the DNS providers pull your name, but they can;t stop you from reaching it. Not really a good way to be found, though, but we can bring back webrings and directories.
The prevalence of fuckery on the corpo-fascist web does lead me to believe that we should be migrating to a parallel system, though. We’ve had the dark web for ages, though it scares people to go back to a time when the crime was done by people not corporations and governments, and there are distributed P2P hosting systems out there that just need people to use them to be viable.
Tell me how to accomplish this? Never setup my own web server before.
Look up the TOR project tutorials, they have quite a bit on setting up a .onion site, which is the easiest way to go as it will load pretty simply once you’re on the network.
There are other things like the LoRa systems with their own hosting projects to maintain sites on a distributed network, Freenet has stuff that is coming along nicely as well, though it seems they’re still in beta but are functional already.
The fact that we all traded privacy for “safety” ended up as it always does. You lose the rightrs, and don’t get the benefits. We have Facebook hosting scams in their official ads because they get a cut of the profits and that’s somehow better than the scams you used to get back in the 80s and 90s. I trust a bunch of Russian hackers and pirates running Telegram bot networks a fuck of a lot more than I do corporations or governments.
I really gotta get serious about trying out Reticulium.
Doubt
can i still access it with a vpn?
Yes, but then Trump has to go down to the office and get his signature notarized to boot you off that.
