Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack alternative to GitHub
It leverages Git’s architecture combined with cryptography and a gossip protocol to enable a fully sovereign developer network. All social artifacts are stored in Git, and signed using public-key cryptography. Radicle verifies the authenticity and a ...continues
I'm looking again at static website builders now that Safe Network is happening (beta this month, launch in October).
I was set up to deploy my #dWeb blog simultaneously to web and Safe Network using #ReactStatic but sadly that is no longer maintained (but still works).
So I'm working on one using my favourite #Svelte. Also trying #Publii, a WYSIWYG site editor which looks interesting. Not the best UX but could help a lot of folks get online, on web and the #decentralised#p2p#SafeNetwork.
I’m probably the last person to hear about it but I just stumbled on #Funkwhale in my search for a #Spotify alternative.
It’s #foss, #decentralised, and #federated! You can share #music by joinings pods or starting your own. Now I’ve only just discovered it but this feels like a much more #community driven listening experience than what we’re use to these days. Kind of like sharing your walkman earphones at recess with friends.

Jami: A Versatile Cross-platform Open-Source Peer-to-Peer Decentralized Communication App
I can’t believe I last did a proper post about Jami as far back as 2019 last. I mention it a lot, and it was included run a debate today on my Friendica site, but I realised it does deserve a proper feature post of its own.
@sumek@smallcircles SimpleX has less features and also no standard user ID whereas Jami has far more features and a standard ID for others to connect to. Jami is full peer-to-peer wheras SimpleX does rely on its distributed servers to establish comms (a bit like Nostr does with relays).

I had it installed on Android and as Flatpak. Both clients got affected twice. What I know is that I'm never going to touch that disastrous tool. It really gave me a very hard time each time it screwed up its own local database.
As for you, I strongly suggest a better more stable platform if communication is important.
Being secure and opensource is only good when the software works, otherwise it is useless.
New NGI pilot: Local4Local
The 2.5M€ (1.8M€ EU funding) project will pilot NGI technologies to support the local economy, sustainable initiatives and strengthening local ties in local areas through local currencies, based on a decentralised infrastructure.
Consortium is led by Centric (NL) with a consortium including University of Aix Marseille, Technological University of Kaunas and Technological University of Delft. #localeconomy#localcurrencies#decentralised#sustainability#opensource
The #Decentralised#Fediverse session at #NGI2023 was a missed opportunity. This was a chance to discuss why decentralised socmed is essential going forward - digital sovereignty alone would seem to demand that. Unhooking govt, educational, major industry etc from platform monopolies is a no brainer, single users will follow. Getting wrapped up in who will pay for coders is tbh a small problem, solve the big problem of deplatforming and youll solve other issues. #academicmastodon#activitypub
My ideal #decentralised#Bandcamp alternative would be something like a combination of (I) #Faircamp as a frontend, (II) #Funkwhale as an #Activitypub audio file sharing & profile-following for the backend, and (III) something like #Liberapay or #Comradery to buy albums & financially support musicians.
What with the no-doubt immanent enshittification of #bandcamp I'd like to direct people's attention to projects like #Faircamp by @freebliss and #Funkwhale@funkwhale. While not a drop-in replacements for BC as of yet, I think these are an excellent starting points for an #ethical, #decentralised & healthy #music community.
Yep, #Bandcamp is being Mooged. Exactly why I've been advocating an #independent & #decentralised alternative since the moment #Epic bought it. There has NEVER been an instance of a megacorp buying an ethical indie and not enshittifying it.
