Hello Mastodon guys! I'm Fred, husband, father, developer and FOSS enthusiast.
My interest is technology, in all areas.
Follow famous people without reciprocity is not what I want at Mastodon, though it's a microblog. While there is still no real federated social network, I want to meet new people with similar interests (or not), considering that nobody will block who add unknown people. 🙌🏻
Add me, I'll add back, and create with me a cycle of contacts outside big techs! Greetings! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I often hear the question, "Why bother with a home server when it's not that expensive to hire a VPS?" While cost is not the most important factor, the distribution of data storage and processing is crucial. Have you noticed that these two activities are increasingly centralized by big corporations? Information processing and storage represent power, and delegating these activities to common people promotes democracy.

Foo/bar is a part of programming history and culture. It is one of the first small challenges for a novice programmer when demonstrating their ability to think abstractly and just like "Hello World!", it provides a reference to the context of the time when they were created.
It's like saying, among many other things, e.g.: "you must know the origin and see that at the beginning there was only FOSS, then they appropriate everything".

Your ISP is concerned about network costs, not lawyer costs.

The only intermediaries between the communication of people must be the routers, that find the way from our computer till the others machines through the Internet.

There are 2 factors that will revolutionize the technology world on the next years: 5G and ipv6.
5G will provide abundance of broadband connections and ipv6 will allow everyone to have their own public IP with open ports. These two features have the potential to give internet back to people allowing everyone to install servers without the need of any isp spoofing.

Bringing our cycle of friends to the idea of a federated network is not easy. Most do not realize how bad it is to have someone as an intermediary in your communication, putting ideas between our lines and manipulating the concept of important content (relevant posts) to change the behavior of populations.

They interfere on people liberty more and more. Imagine how it'll be , in 2050, with the AI stronger "improving" each area of our lives.

Mastodon rescues and enforces an idea which will spread the market of programming services and the other IT careers. Not because the platform itself but for the philosophy of distributing the processing power through all the computing infrastructure of the world. It'll create more opportunities for IT professionals because this federated model allow customization of systems stopping the massive standards and taking out the monopoly from the big techs companies.

The growing and monopoly of big techs companies generates unemployment and the decline of the working power in the field of technology.
