Today is #DiDay a day where you swap big tech services for independent #foss services(where possible).
This month I focused on search engines and started self hosting 4get(https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get) a proxy search engine with #coopcloud
I really got used to the simple design without any #enshittification. Another nice feature is the possiblility to switch between engines with one click.
Next month I will try to progress my steps away from #spotify by using #navidrome

4get

4get is a proxy search engine that doesn't suck

Free Knowledge Institute Feb 26

On the tech stack level we work together with the #CoopCloud Federation, sharing the work to build easily deployable and maintainable cooperative cloud services, as a “configuration commons”. So we recently became members of @coopcloud. We also hope they, and all of you interested, join this process, and become members of the DemocraticTech.Fund. We haven’t yet worked out all the details yet, but the vision is there and working groups are starting up. Feel welcome to join and connect your work. We’re in it for the long run, together.

@Wtebbens The 'Software Sovereignty Scale' is a vital lens. If sovereignty is a spectrum, then corporate 'Open Source' (OSI) is often just a lease, not ownership. We need to move from 'Sovereign Consumption' to 'Sovereign Governance'—where the end-user holds a stake in the infrastructure itself. How do we build 'CoopCloud' protocols that are as metabolically resilient as they are legally open? #DigitalSovereignty #CoopCloud #Governance #DigitalCommons #ReVolt

In the discussion about #digitalsovereignty there is an interesting cry for #BuyEuropean, but many of us doubt that that is enough. In software, you (or your organisation or country) being "sovereign" or in control does ultimately not only - or so much - depend on where the HQ of the tech company are located.

@dries, the founder of Drupal, presents an interesting scale for digital sovereignty.

The software license is an important part. Not the only one of course. We'd also think of the maturity of the developer community. And, as an enduser, one's control over or stake in the service provider (in case you need one).

Think #governance #coopcloud #digitalcommons

The Software Sovereignty Scale

Digital sovereignty depends less on where software comes from and more on who controls it. This post introduces a scale showing which technologies can never be taken away.
