• Enjoying reading [[The Reboot]].
• Also looking forward to finally reading some of issue 1 of [[Compost]].
• Along with [[Logic]], these form a good list of [[left-tech magazines]].
• I need to improve my process of taking [[Literature notes]]. Specifically when I’m reading articles. At the moment I sometimes copy quotes I’m interested in to a page specifically about the article. Sometimes I copy them to the page that the quote is most relevant to. Sometimes I link to the article, sometimes I like to my page about the article. It’s a bit messy. I’m sure somewhere between [[How To Take Smart Notes]], [[zettelkasten]] and [[org-roam]] forums there will be advice on improvements I can make on this.
• Halfway through [[Seeding the Wild]]. Loving it so far. Gorgeous writing. Setting the scene of how the digital commons is enclosed despite the promise. Rest of the article going to talk about how the [[client-server model]] had a role in that.
  • I liked it a lot. Peer-to-peer networks, commons, enclosure, big tech, the topology of information networks. Hole punching. A nice primer on how big tech enclosed the commons and how peer-to-peer might help take back some ground.
• Given I’ve been thinking of trying out [[XMPP]], why not try the version that comes with [[YunoHost]]?
  • Well that was simple. I didn’t need to do anything - it all appears to be already set up out of the box. I was able to connect to it via [[Dino]] on desktop no problem, and Conversations on Android. Now I just don’t have anyone to speak to on it.
