I believe the Indieweb project is a stepping stone to a Completely distributed network.
Itches
- become offline first centric
- go green computing
- creating a mindmap
- getting other people to to join the indieweb movement
Cloud computing / hosting
I have started to move my website off GitHub_Pages to Linode's s3 completedI have started to set up a Linode's VPS to host my own git repository with Gitea because I am hitting GitHub free limits almost completedI am setting up my own homelab to host Giteamoving my static data from Linode's s3 to backblaze_b2 because of Linode's s3 cost.turns out I need to move my websites back to Linode's s3 because backblaze_b2's s3 does not support CNAME. I am still host my larger files on b2.- I am using CloudFlare for CDNing
The cost of cloud compute like aws ECS and Linode's VPN is not worth the money, building a homelab is going to give me more bang for my buck.
Offline/asynchronous mode
