when i remember to #bookmark stuff, they work almost better than search, because i don't need even to remember the words...

but #hashtags actually work better than both, somehow... and yet, none of them gets good enough some times.

#achoz will definitely need some ai for suggesting different automated and #intelli ways of #browsing. 👽

@sujee i will look at soapbox, thanks. also heard of a new one (perhaps the same one) that i can't remember the name, just a few weeks ago, developed with the intention of refactoring pleroma but focusing on an objective similar to minimalism i think. completely forgot to follow through, i have to go over my bookmarks... better to leave this to another thread: #soapbox 🤣

you can see everything #ahoxus as *like* a hobby of mine and *like* my entrepreneurship, and job, and lots of things in between and around both. #aloze first stage there i have been applying to ahoxus home and my free time, when i get enough aligned with full energy (which doesn't happen very often), will go all to rebuilding all the website with that (which could use a name in itself, perhaps #freehtml?)

absolutely zero rush, as i managed to get all my digital work as non essential to life, luckily, thanks to #ahoxus... and i definitely want every hand i can get to help with such things. currently got the amazing @kcubeterm who do such work on the backend here and on #achoz, for instance. freehtml requires no knowledge of software building, programming language, or command lines... it only requires time, patience, and ability to explore, all of which i know you already do because you told me about soapbox.

as for #buddha and ahoxus, i love your connections all around there! 🥰 will look at the video as well. i personally never read almost anything from any religion, including the #bible, nor any #philosophy... but all those ones of thoughts that exist for so long, they circle everyone's minds in one way or another. and i adore to explore them all.

more comments to come soon, under the hashtags, to break up this thread in better smaller pieces... 😘🙏

@robby @fedops
forgot to mention...
i absolutely love your pop idea for email redundancy*. and as soon as i can, i will follow it.

it should stand as default behaviour of every email client, but sadly none do it. as far as i know.

it also helps #achoz tremendously, at least in theory.

@delta hey again!

i bring you an #idea today.

when we block a contact, let us still see the emails, and even search for them, in a separate format, like it happens with archived, but labeled as "blocked" and collapsed.

i want to block some spam and some contacts, but sometimes i might want to unblock. and i might look back, serendipitously, to old messages for doing that.

(similar ideas i apply on #uproot #achoz)

for the longest time now, i will to build an app to organize our "data energy".

something i have called #achoz #uproot and other names.

today, it will ideally start as a fork of kiss launcher, and greatly improve only the search.

intelligently search through emails, files, contacts, and everything. #offlinefirst of course.

and it will also help to clean up after itself. keep a small data footprint: remove old stuff from the index, serendipitously add them back, gradually less, until we finally trash them, to get reviewed in the end of each day or week, for complete deletion.

in my case, over the years. a lot of people might prefer over a few days or months, depending how much storage you want to dedicate to it. default to 100mb, but i want to use at least 2gb. #mobileonlylife

it should run on android 10, 11, and 12. a termux app *might* suffice! just perhaps...

soon (2023 at most), it should also run on my next mobile device, which will be gnu+linux but perhaps not ubuntu touch.

ports to all other devices we shall leave to forks. simple and efficient ux should make it easy.

@kcubeterm have been helping a lot, but i want to accelerate the process, if possible, by finding more people willing to join the development...

@ilja @amolith we need good curation and random discovery above all!

i can't see why we couldn't have this completely decentralised. we don't need crawlers to go everywhere.

we could begin with a simple "search engine" for our own files and web content (part of the reasoni started #achoz).

the biggest technical issue i personally see (broken links and lack of cache), archive.org already tackles. although mostly centralised, it really only lacks decentralisation (which shall come!).

#selfnote #pubiclife #toomanyhashtags

just updated my profile with minor changes...

such as linking to https://ahoxus.org/~cregox#ssl instead of // or http and a comment "non ssl on purpose"... will add next a ssl hash link on the bottom linking to the top "did you miss the top warning?" 🤣

but anyway, i started this post to #comment on why #ahoxus led to no posts?! pretty sure i did post it at least once.

in any case, ahoxus.org houses all my projects and the home page needs to get seriously revamped into gemini style.

here i wanted to name a few of my hustles: #land #paradise #uproot #aloze #abotz #achoz #laundry and the newest one probably here named for the first time #webhome = for name server, basic #tilde hosting, email, and #fediverse of course.

also, a self public/transparent reminder: i hate how content doesn't get properly versioned, like #writefreely, pleroma profile editing, and hate how pleroma still doesn't work without javascript (as far as i can tell).

over 1 year ago i started to move heads first into what i will now call low tech.

[
this movement actually started back in 1981 in me, but regained a lot of strength in 2019, when i moved radically away from high tech. i sold my beloved chromebox, and never had anything like a desktop ever since.

i lived for 1 year in a small town by the ocean, with a beach front amazing rented apartment for just 300€ per month. the town had 450ish residents, and over 2000 living during summer...

and i moved to tamera. the most amazing ecovillage in the world, i hear and trust, with a bit more than 200 loving humans (not just residents) and, still, a lot of confusion.

i got to meet and know, for the short 3 months i stayed there, at least 16 of them personally, plus over 6 who live nearby... and many more like me who just stayed for some time. made too many friends to count!

back in the beach town, i made 6, perhaps 7 friends. very good result for a regular polis. interesting metrics to measure results of vilas... now i live for 2 years in ahoxus pedrinha, population of 3, with many visitors, and everyone (who still wasn't) quickly became friends, except for a few noisy anonymous neighbors.

anyway... back to the main story...
]

almost exactly 1 year ago, i decided to free myself from all digital subscriptions, or as much as i could. and nameserver turned out the only one i could not find a way off. luckily, i found gandi.net, an amazingly good and cheap host.

i had many domains, and i decided to reduce to only one. ahoxus.org

but ended up sticking with cregox.net as well, since most of my content still stands there.

this movement evolved to assimilate #agpl and #fupl as necessities for good free as in freedom software. thanks to fsf, gnu, and above all rms, my distant digital friend #stallman (sadly, i don't know if fsf or gnu can survive without him, still).

and now, time to renew my only subscription, i wanted to look around, see if i can find a better choice...

back then, i thought i had found one already. positive-internet.com

i talked over video with 2 members from their team, per her suggestion, as they said they could help me with my pursue of a partnership for handling my cloud "needs" [i only need the cloud as much as i need to keep in touch with my past and society, which doesn't constitute a real need for me (or anyone)].

after that meeting plus a lot of negotiation and talking over email, we came to a conclusion. 23 of june, she offered me a package. instead of £290 i would only need to pay £65 ex VAT per month!

😒

i can't even find, or bother to look further, for the reply that i know i gave them. but i can only guess i said something "thanks, but no. please let me know when and if you ever get to your senses".

i now have a better structure for less than 30eur on gandi.net and the amazing hub for good on digital ocean, in which they gave ahoxus all we could ever need in cloud hosting (except for domain and email which i get in gandi) in "exchange" for the free discovery/non-commercial-advertising i will continue to do for them.

however, we still need more people to work together on building up on top of that whole structure. for now, we only have me and @kcubeterm, and way more ideas than we can materialize. even the simpler ones such as #abotz and #achoz.

so i went ahead to look around, and recalled about ipfs and opennic, asking with lbry name resolution, all of which still don't use #agpl or #fupl like every software must, but great ideas nonetheless that i need to keep watching. they still haven't evolved nearly enough for me to make use of.

i also found about afraid.org, which will be today my last attempt to reach out. but if i will switch from gandi to there, i will still need a new email provider! or, ideally, build something on digital ocean.

in all cases, my main work for the next month will be: dismantling cregox.net into ahoxus; removing ahoxus from github into sr.ht, and finally; making write as naked domain, if i can at least add images to it and keep edition history (forget versioning, although that means basically what i wanted when i say it in this context).

i will be very happy if i can do just the dismantling!

after all that, i can go back to the idea of building up the server structure for achoz. perhaps after summer.

[
and, now that i wrote all this...

it will probably be a good idea to start building the ahoxus laundry at regia douro park.

even before building freedns.ahoxus.org, which i wrongly-ish named above as "server structure for achoz"... because i probably will need more specialised and harder to find help with the freedns than with the laundry.

still thinking about it...
