Decentralized Web

Eikcaz: /* Meeting Notes */

We meet the 4th Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

Liberating the world through free, local-first, and decentralized technology.

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network that
runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. Upon it, a sea of protocols
flows enabling the globalized world we live in. One such protocol,
http, was the first to bring the internet to a broader audience, one
that spans the world as the World Wide Web. Other protocols made their mark like ECMAScript (i.e. javascript) which enabled what
some call Web 2, which was also characterized by centralization. Some
people use Web3 to describe efforts towards a Decentralized Web,
though in practice when people say "Web3", they usually mean
proof of work or proof of stake systems, neither of which is the focus of this
meetup. Hosted at Noisebridge, the anarchist hacker space, we want to
build digital anarchy by weaving a Decentralized Web of opt-in structures where, at a protocol and architecture level, we engage as equal
peers.

These meetings will consist of presentations and discussions (and hopefully collaboration).
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
progress. Additionally, we will aim to define and start
new projects.

== Project Ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintenance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarce ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarce by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarcity locking up
our software, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralized middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributors, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incur transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to non-free
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/receiving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic IP addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for each other.

== Project Ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintenance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarce ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarce by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarcity locking up
our software, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralized middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributors, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incur transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to non-free
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/receiving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic IP addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for each other.

Eikcaz: /* Meeting Notes */

We meet the 4th Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

Liberating the world through free, local-first, and decentralized technology.

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network that
runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. Upon it, a sea of protocols
flows enabling the globalized world we live in. One such protocol,
http, was the first to bring the internet to a broader audience, one
that spans the world as the World Wide Web. Other protocols made their mark like ECMAScript (i.e. javascript) which enabled what
some call Web 2, which was also characterized by centralization. Some

Decentralized Web

2025-11-17T02:46:09Z

Eikcaz: /* Introduction */

We meet the 4th Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

Liberating the world through free, local-first, and decentralized technology.

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network that
runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. Upon it, a sea of protocols
flows enabling the globalized world we live in. One such protocol,
http, was the first to bring the internet to a broader audience, one
that spans the world as the World Wide Web. Other protocols made their mark like ECMAScript (i.e. javascript) which enabled what
some call Web 2, which was also characterized by centralization. Some
people use Web3 to describe efforts towards a Decentralized Web,
though in practice when people say "Web3", 99% of the time they mean
proof of work or proof of stake systems, neither of which is the focus of this
meetup. Hosted at Noisebridge, the anarchist hacker space, we want to
build digital anarchy by weaving a Decentralized Web of opt-in structures where, at a protocol and architecture level, we engage as equal
peers.

These meetings will consist of presentations and discussions (and hopefully collaboration).
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
progress. Additionally, we will aim to define and start
new projects.

== Project Ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintenance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarce ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarce by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarcity locking up
our software, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralized middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributors, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incur transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to non-free
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/receiving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic IP addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for each other.

the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/receiving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic IP addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for each other.

Decentralized Web

2025-11-17T02:39:10Z

Eikcaz: /* Introduction */

We meet the 4th Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

Liberating the world through free, local-first, and decentralized technology.

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network that
runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. Upon it, a sea of protocols
flows enabling the globalized world we live in. One such protocol,
http, was the first to bring the internet to a broader audience, one
that spans the world, the World Wide Web. Other protocols followed,
and with the adoption of ECMAScript (i.e. javascript), we get what
some call Web 2, which was also characterized by centralization. Some
people use Web3 to describe efforts towards a Decentralized Web,
though in practice when people say "Web3", 99% of the time they mean
proof of work or proof of stake, neither of which is the focus of this
meetup. Hosted at Noisebridge, the anarchist hacker space, we want to
build digital anarchy be weaving a decentralized web where, at a protocol level, we engage as equal
peers

These meetings will consist of presentations and discussions (and hopefully collaboration).
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
progress. Additionally, we will aim to define and start
new projects.

== Current projects ==

== Project Ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintenance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarce ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarce by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarcity locking up
our software, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralized middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributors, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incur transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to non-free
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/receiving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic IP addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for each other.

|title = HackTheLeft
|description = [[HackTheLeft|Hack the Left]] is an ''anticapitalist'' hackathon, going on for the entire long weekend of February 5th-7th at Noisebridge. This is an experiment to see what happens when you get a bunch of leftists in a room for a weekend with the intention to advance liberatory and ''anticapitalist'' projects using technology. This includes software projects like Tor and Signal, art projects like the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and Men in Grey, hardware projects like mesh networks and signal jammers, and tools for rad organizations like Anti Police-Crimethink Project and Food Not Bombs. It's clear that there's a huge amount of opportunity for liberatory technology. It's up to us to build it. 

*Hackathon participants should be able to get into Noisebridge by [[Hours | its 11:00 AM opening hour]], if not earlier, for both weekend days.

Decentralized Web

2025-11-17T01:06:22Z

Eikcaz: /* Meeting Notes */

We meet the 4th Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

Liberating the world through free, local-first, and decentralized technology.

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network that
runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. Upon it, a sea of protocols
flows enabling the globalized world we live in. One such protocol,
http, was the first to bring the internet to a broader audience, one
that spans the world, the World Wide Web. Other protocols followed,
and with the adoption of ECMAScript (i.e. javascript), we get what
some call Web 2, which was also characterized by centralization. Some
people use Web3 to describe efforts towards a Decentralized Web,
though in practice when people say "Web3", 99% of the time they mean
proof of work or proof of stake, neither of which is the focus of this
meetup. Hosted at Noisebridge, the anarchist hacker space, we want to
build digital anarchy, where at a protocol level, we engage as equal
peers. In other words, we gather to weave a decentralized web.

These meetings will consist of presentations and discussions (and hopefully collaboration).
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
progress. Additionally, we will aim to define and start
new projects.

== Project Ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintenance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarce ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarce by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarcity locking up
our software, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralized middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributors, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incur transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to non-free
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/receiving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic IP addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for each other.

flows enabling the globalized world we live in. One such protocol,
http, was the first to bring the internet to a broader audience, one
that spans the world, the World Wide Web. Other protocols followed,
and with the adoption of ECMAScript (i.e. javascript), we get what
some call Web 2, which was also characterized by centralization. Some
people use Web3 to describe efforts towards a Decentralized Web,
though in practice when people say "Web3", 99% of the time they mean
proof of work or proof of stake, neither of which is the focus of this
meetup. Hosted at Noisebridge, the anarchist hacker space, we want to
build digital anarchy, where at a protocol level, we engage as equal
peers. In other words, we gather to weave a decentralized web.

These meetings will consist of presentations and discussions (and hopefully collaboration).
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
progress. Additionally, we will aim to define and start
new projects.

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintenance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarce ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarce by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarcity locking up
our software, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralized middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributors, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incur transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to non-free
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/receiving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic IP addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for each other.

Decentralized Web

2025-11-17T00:06:22Z

Eikcaz: Updated meeting history

We meet the 4th Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

Liberating the world through free, local-first, and decentralized technology.

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network
that runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. The web is all the
things communicated over the internet. Unfortunately, the web has
become increasingly centralized in the era of "Web2", where no
one owns their own data, and people, even on the same network,
cannot communicate with one another without connecting to some
centralized middleman. The goal of the decentralized web
(sometimes called Web3, but usually just in reference to
blockchain) movement is to build not just censorship resistant
technology, but also communities that use those technologies. An
awesome tool used by no one is lame.

These meetings will consist of presentations and collaboration.
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
progress. Additionally, we will aim to connect people with
existing decentralized web projects as well as define and start
new projects.

== Project Ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintainance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarse ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarse by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarsity locking up
our softwre, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralzide middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributers, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizeable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incurr transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to nonfree
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/recieving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic ip addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for eachother.

Decentralized Web

2025-02-02T01:19:12Z

Eikcaz: /* Introduction */

We meet the 4th Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

Liberating the world through free, local-first, and decentralized technology.

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network
that runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. The web is all the
things communicted over the internet. Unfortunately, the web has
become increasingly centralized in the era of "Web2", where no
one owns their own data, and people, even on the same network,
cannot communicate with one another without connecting to some
centralized middleman. The goal of the decentralized web
(sometimes called Web3, but usually just in reference to
blockchain) movement is to build not just censorship resistant
technology, but also communities that use those technologies. An
awesome tool used by no one is lame.

These meetings will consist of presentations and collaboration.
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
prgress. Additionally, we will aim to connect people with
existing decentralized web projects as well as define and start
new projects.

== Current projects ==

Decentralized Web

2025-01-28T01:15:59Z

Eikcaz:

We meet the 4rd Saturday of every month, 4-7pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network
that runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. The web is all the
things communicted over the internet. Unfortunately, the web has
become increasingly centralized in the era of "Web2", where no
one owns their own data, and people, even on the same network,
cannot communicate with one another without connecting to some
centralized middleman. The goal of the decentralized web
(sometimes called Web3, but usually just in reference to
blockchain) movement is to build not just censorship resistant
technology, but also communities that use those technologies. An
awesome tool used by no one is lame.

These meetings will consist of presentations and collaboration.
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
prgress. Additionally, we will aim to connect people with
existing decentralized web projects as well as define and start
new projects.

== Current projects ==
Come to our first meeting to propose one! (project ideas below
after Meeting Notes)

== Meeting Notes ==

** LlamaFile
**: presented by Justine Tunney

** Group Income and/or Chelonia
**: presented by Greg Slepak

** Other Presentations?
**: Come and talk about what you're working on!

== Project Ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintainance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarse ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarse by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarsity locking up
our softwre, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
* Decentralization - The solution must lack centralzide middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual contributers, not just organizations (though supporting organizations is fine).
* Value assignment - There are millions of people that contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture we use. It should be entirely customizeable, but should have sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
* Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal currencies incurr transaction fees, there must be some mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to nonfree
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food dogfooding], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
* Support sending/recieving from (at least) one email address.
* DNS automatically updates via API calls (ideally supporting dynamic ip addresses).
* Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual intervention if one goes down.
* Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email servers for eachother.

Decentralized Web

2025-01-09T02:29:16Z

Eikcaz: Initial Version

We meet the 3rd Saturday of every month, 6-9pm, at Noisebridge.
== Introduction ==

The internet is the physical, interconnected computer network
that runs TCP/IP to link devices globally. The web is all the
things communicted over the internet. Unfortunately, the web has
become increasingly centralized in the era of "Web2", where no
one owns their own data, and people, even on the same network,
cannot communicate with one another without connecting to some
centralized middleman. The goal of the decentralized web
(sometimes called Web3, but usually just in reference to
blockchain) movement is to build not just censorship resistant
technology, but also communities that use those technologies. An
awesome tool used by no one is lame.

These meetings will consist of presentations and collaboration.
Presentations will be of varying lengths, some by invited
technologists to showcase their work, and some by regular
attendees to discuss what they are working on and any incremental
prgress. Additionally, we will aim to connect people with
existing decentralized web projects as well as define and start
new projects.

== Current projects ==
Come to our first meeting to propose one! (project ideas below
after Meeting Notes)

== Meeting Notes ==

* 2024-01-18

** LlamaFile
**: presented by Justine Tunney

** Group Income and/or Chelonia
**: presented by Greg Austic

** Other Presentations?
**: Come and talk about what you're working on!

== project ideas ==

Come to our meetings to propose more ideas!

=== Monetization of Free Culture ===
Capitalism has won out in large part because it has mastered the
maintainance of supply chains. It ensures that workers are paid
enough to show up the next day (though not necessarily enough to
live comfortably). However, capitalism relies on scarcity, so
the non-scarse ones and zeros that make up our digital culture
has been made artificially scarse by Copyright and Patent Law.
To break free from these bonds of artificial scarsity locking up
our softwre, hardware, and media which make up our culture, we
must discover a way support the supply chains that make the
culture we use. The main problems to be solved are:
- Decentralization - The solution must lack centralzide
middlemen, and allow an individual to support individual
contributers, not just organizations (though supporting
organizations is fine).
- Value assignment - There are millions of people that
contribute to the technology and media we use and consume. To
be a valid solution, it must facilitate some automatic
assignment of value to contributions that make up the culture
we use. It should be entirely customizeable, but should have
sane-enough defaults to permit lazy usage.
- Microtransaction - Though we may eventually replace normal
currencies like Bitcoin or USD, prospective beneficiaries must
be able turn support into food and rent. Since normal
currencies incurr transaction fees, there must be some
mechanism by which funders can organize to reduce the number
of transactions.
The goal is to support specifically free culture (especially,
initially, free software), it would be nice if there is some
method for onboarding, so people can dedicate support to nonfree
culture on the condition that that culture is freed, for
instance by a release under a free license.

=== Decentralizing Noisebridge ===
In the interest of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food][dogfooding]], we should try to help
Noisebridge, or at least this meetup, operate on decentralized
technologies.

=== Make Email Hosting Easy! ===
SMTP is possibly the most successful decentralized web protocol.
The world still largely runs on email. However, the email
ecosystem evolved organically with many systems added on top:
IMAP, POP3, DMARC, DKIM, SPF, etc. All of these additional
systems have increased security, scalability, and usability by
the end user, at the expense of ease of initial setup. Though
it would not be reasonable to try and "automate" a setup for a
general email server, it is possible to do so for a specific
email server setup. Some goals of the setup:
- Support sending/recieving from (at least) one email address.
- DNS automatically updates via API calls.
- Runs on multiple computers for redundancy without manual
intervention if one goes down.
- Allow two people to operate (secondarily) as backup email
servers for eachother.

you're a monster

=== lol, you're too cowardly to sign your name ===
But I’m able to discuss my flaws, and able to choose to minimize the harm I cause to others. Able to sit and be yelled at, because I have coherent enduring beliefs.
<nowiki>-- ~~~~</nowiki> if you were logged in.
Depending on who you are, I would reply: it's extremely un[[excellent]] to value your freedom to use drugs in the space for ''it now seems'' months on end and develop a cult of favors to support others in the same, at the expense of other members explicitly stated wishes, of recurring dues lost to members leaving, and of classes, use, and reputation lost due to predictable effects of your (and compatriots') toddler-level understanding of [[anarchy]]. ''Some might call that monstrous.'' If you could demonstrate that you can play nicely with others, and act with integrity, I would welcome, champion, your return. -- [[User:Mcint|Mcint]] ([[User talk:Mcint|talk]]) 14:54, 30 April 2024 (PDT) :)
