LET’S BUILD AND HOST A WEB PAGE IN 90 MINUTES

I just make these up as I go along, flowing from one idea to the next (need to do another “get our photos off the cloud” meet up again).

I’ve definitely been influenced by reading Cory Doctorow’s book ‘Enshittification,’ about getting away from the megacorp tech companies, and this Focus Escape Pod is a proper step in that direction.

On Wednesday, March 25 I’ll be hosting a 90 minute Zoom call, and there will be a “cohort” on the Discourse platform (not Discord), too.

It’s not like I’m the super best instructor guy for this. Sure, I’ve been noodling around on the web since the mid 90s, but there’s people who know more than I do about all this, which is why I’m asking them join us and help folks understand a little bit more about HTML, uploading files, DNS, and all that fun stuff. We’re gonna make the “scary stuff” a lot less scary.

As Casey Barber said in a recent Escape Pod call, having our own website is, “an investment in your sovereignty, and your autonomy, and your you-ness, honestly.”

We need to rely less on the techbro platforms, and so understanding how things work outside of their reach is how we get there.
