Safari cannot open this page, because the server could not be found.

I can’t even visit glauca.digital from my phone…

If the machine has enough power (which for a Pi is heavily varying between generations), yes, you absolutely can! Look into something like Docker Compose (or even running NixOS).

ICANN can (theoretically) not force anyone to deregister your domain. If your stack is all outside the US, and everyone collectively decided to disobey the US, the Internet’s decentralization would be true.

The hard part about building a decentralized network is finding out where to hide the centralization.

For the Internet, the centralization is hidden in the IP block and DNS Zone delegation. After this is done, that region is decentralized. A/I’s problem was that the registry for .org is a subsidiary of IANA. With EU servers, EU DNS and a EU domain, EU clients cannot be prevented from connecting solely from the outside. The US would need a collaborator.

Really, it’s a question that’s too sad for me to answer: I don’t know. I’d probably panic, like anyone would. Also, it depends whether there is anything after the apocalypse. If the world is ending and explodes, I am not in a position to preserve things anymore. (I probably wouldn’t be if it didn’t, either.) If it’s just a setback in civilization, and I have a chance of survival, maybe a few of my favorite media on various types of storage. Ideally, maybe hints to check Svalbard once civilization has been rebuilt. (The World Seed Archive and Arctic Code Vault are there.) But, if we want to joke about it: I’ll check if anyone’s live from Harmageddon.

It was a relative “nobody”

Nobody on Linux uses Chrome, however, and many disable telemetry. We need to normalize small amounts of statistics. Nobody will be able to trace you based on just uname -srpio.

How do I do that with the SSD cache? Everyone just talks about it, but I can’t find any documentation…

I have them at home and as such don‘t need to spend money on them.

Follow up question: Do I need a separate CPU cooler, or is the boxed Wraith enough? And how loud is it? I can’t really find info on that.

The NAS drives are here because they are from an old NAS which only uses a cheap dual-core Intel, has 2G of RAM, and boots from eMMC. So anything would be an upgrade…

I personally use a TPM with Measured Boot (so it doesn‘t give the key to external disks), and have a YubiKey and password as fallback options.
