My home server is a Ubuntu install on a 2017 laptop. A lot of guides have been very useful.
I installed several other tools, with Portainer, for a variety of imaged applications. With various containers I installed Jellyfin (for hosting old videos and converted media of mine), Calibre (for a digital library of textbooks from my history degree) and a few other tools. I've been half-tempted to host some WordPress sites, but I have yet to figure out nginx...
Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.
Archive.org, one of my favourite websites, has been targetted by litigation.
What do you feel will happen to this website in the years and decades ahead? And what will happen to digital archiving should the site be eliminated from the web?
I go through Patreon, as I also contribute to a local news site and to the Mastodon developer team (... and so I can snoop in their Discord, which is Patreon only). I believe there is a preference for OpenCollective as a platform of choice.
Agreed. It's one of the reasons I enjoy being a monthly Patreon to Lemmy.world. Ruud and the admin team post updates to blog.mastodon.world, and through Open Collective highlight their outflows and inflows of cash.
It's a best practice for building transparent communities. By sharing information, and showcasing where a person's donations go, it builds confidence in a team of volunteers by a network. Also, for curious types like me, I can see what's happening.
As a side benefit, it allows for teams to build resources and establish new projects, like Lemmy.world. Which is excellent.
For the original effort on Mastodon, the Little Big Planet vibe was indeed an inspiration. The 'hand made' aesthetic is a really neat way to share that a place is being created and made by its users, and having it be a tangible, almost print or paper product, I felt it touched that key cultural element of both Lemmy and the work of the fediverse/activitypub.
Glorious.
