alternative network architectures

who wants to run a server?

• Co-op Cloud - a framework for hosting open source software, and a federation of tech co-ops (somewhat like a simpler kubernetes)
• YunoHost - a graphical web app for hosting open source software

"people don't want to run their own servers" — moxie marlinspike (link)

signal shows the way of centralized + encrypted (like protonmail)

alternatives:

• p2p (but what about the limitations of p2p and crdts?)
• tech co-ops (approach of co-op cloud & fediverse)
• atproto (interoperability + open data, but not running your own server, generally)
