i think i am entering a phase where i am going to have to close down a lot of my internet web services:
matrix
peertube
gemini
openttd etc.
i am going to explore moving into HAM and radio. i will still maintain an internet connection, but only for personal reasons.
like much of the world, we are suffering an economic crisis here in australia. my income is being steadily eaten up by rent and ordinary bills.
my power bill over summer was inexplicably extortionate, i can only assume it is due to the price gouging of the power company. i do not own an air conditioner.
as time goes on, i will not renew my domain names and will let go of my VPS.
please understand while i am going through the process of taking all these things offline.
the people’s permacomputer project will not be affected. i am going to try and maintain work on the permacomputers at great personal cost. if only because selling kits may provide me with some small amount of side income.
the web has failed. if only because these ruling class fuckheads made it completely inaccessible to ordinary people like me to self-host.
