Masto Re-Introduction

I'm a Linux Administrator and DevOps Engineer, foss & self-host enthusiast, linux gamer, BSD weirdo, and producer of electronic music. Also have an interest learning more about philosophy, left-wing anarchism/syndicalism/mutualism and decentralized systems (outside of crypto context).

Looking to connect with anyone who regularly posts about or engages in those types of interests.

@delta Did someone say #decentralization? Have a look at this (but don't do it on mobile, as trying to render 12,000 nodes on your phone may cause it to melt)! This network graph renders but a small part of the public XMPP interconnected community.

#XMPP, boring, stable, scalable - a battle-tested, truly federated protocol with decades of real-world operation.

Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

Decentralization shifts risk rather than removing it. Running your own services reduces dependency on platforms, but increases dependency on your own operational discipline. Backups, updates, monitoring, and recovery are no longer abstracted away.

What used to be handled by a provider becomes a set of explicit responsibilities. When something breaks, the cause is usually mundane. A missed update, an expired certificate, or a backup that was never tested. The tradeoff is autonomy for responsibility, and it is only obvious once you are operating the system yourself.

The net population inflow into the Tokyo metropolitan area slowed for the first time in four years in 2025, data shows, while that into the area made up of Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo and Nara prefectures rose. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/03/japan/society/tokyo-population-inflow-slow/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #internalaffairsministry #tokyo #population #decentralization
