Thanks for sharing! It took me ages to think my way through "It doesn't scale". I made a lot of things in my life smaller, and now have to figure out what that means for computer stuff. On some An-Prim moody days I'd switch it all off and throw it out and only grow vegetables. But even if I found a way to not have to earn a living online, I would want to go online to learn or my brain gets itchy.

Computing to support life on Earth
Computing in the age of climate crisis is often wasteful and adds nothing useful to our real life communities. Here we try to find out how to change that.

...afterthought: It's funny how I got into wikis shortly before arriving on Lemmy and opening this community, because they seemed like a good way to collect, transmit and safekeep knowledge - like a library, as mentioned in the Gemini project. And smolnet seems to have a lot of people linked to wikis as well. Guess I'm finding (self-building) my online home finally. Same as in meatspace, you have to do it yourself or corporate will fuck you over.
This concept is so fascinating! I wonder what I could do to contribute.
Become a part of it I guess, and then contribute what you know and learn what you don't.
