"We prefer pocket servers to those in the clouds"
"Networks Of One's Own is a para-nodal periodic publication that is itself collectively written in a network. [...] The series aims to document a set of tools, experiences, ways of working that are diverse in terms of their temporality, granularity and persistence."
The incredibly well documented hybrid publication and manual and executable https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org is released.

If you're interested in self-hosting online services for yourself, your family or your community, there are a number of projects on the Fediverse trying to make it easier:

YunoHost
@yunohost
https://yunohost.org/

FreedomBone
@bob
https://freedombone.net

FreedomBox
@freedomboxfndn
https://freedombox.org/

You don't need an expensive server, cheap machines such as old desktops/laptops and single-board computers (such as the #RaspberryPi) will work too.

Scott's law: "if your community is online and the infrastructure of that community is not directly maintained/mirrored by a member of that community, your community is doomed."

I'm in #Bucharest this week, invited by ODD for a lecture and group therapy :)

We'll talk about #computers, #networks, #platforms, #permissions, #tools, #federation, #art, #culture, #ugc, #tos, #licenses, #coop, #coc and artist-run things.

Any fedi users/lurkers around? Let's meet!

There's a new #PeerTube instance run by @deadsuperhero called VidCommons which is dedicated entirely to #CreativeCommons and #PublicDomain works:

https://vidcommons.org

You can also follow its channels on here:

@documentaries

@shows

It's just started so the selection is still limited, but it's gradually building up.

There's also a new tracker-free website run by @kinosocial which has selected CC/PD films from PeerTube and Archive.org:

i wish more ppl knew the ins and outs of being an admin on a social site before running one. the technical knowledge of how to set up and maintain a site or instance doesn’t mean someone is automatically a good community manager… often, the opposite is true, and community-management-skills are Lacking. what if people practiced and read about that stuff as much as they practice and read about tech stuff? 😔 where are the guides, learning resources?

does anyone know (or have a list) of editorial projects similar to Constant? http://constantvzw.org/w/?u=http://books.constantvzw.org/ ( see also post by @entreprecariat )
In other words, editorial projects that are opensource and focus on opensource culture, art, media etc.

Not specifically a #SysAdmin tool, but really handy.

pcal is a calendar-generation program, which creates great looking postscript output.

Example: A4 landscape calendar for Oct, with Monday as first day.

pcal -B -F monday -o Oct2018.ps -P a4 10 2018

Very flexible package for creating lots of calendar formats. Plus in true *nix tradition can be added to a toolchain.
