Paul, this makes by heart sing.
I had absolutely no idea about the Defending Internet Freedom through Decentralization report, and I’m looking forward to digging in. I’ve been talking with a number of my peers and colleagues (or raving like mad) about this exact idea, and finally wrote some related thoughts after a long, late-night conversation with a friend in which civic or community clouds and toaster-style home internet appliances were some of the main themes.
If you ever want to continue riffing on the idea of little boxes you plug into your house that make the internet work without all the mess, please hit me up. I spend and inordinate amount of time thinking on, sketching, and sometimes even badly coding pieces of what could be the renewed, re-distributed internet. I’m glad to see others doing the same.
