Dear Freedombox-discuss, I am inspired by the idea of the FreedomBox. I want the net to be more peer-to-peer and decentralised with privacy on by default. I use GNU/Linux and I am not averse to programming, but I am not an expert. Can someone like me help achieve the aims of the FreedomBox Foundation without buying a plug server? Can't I run my desktop as a server, and what would be the point? Are there resources for me to learn how to achieve more personal freedom, for example (and especially) from the centralised network services I currently use? To take some simple examples: What are my options for email and what are the pros and cons? How can I encrypt my web, email, and other traffic easily? Can I help with hosting or as a node in a peer to peer system and how?
I ask these admittedly vague questions (above the examples) in the hope that someone on list knows of such a resource and can point me to it, or would be interested in starting to create one. Thanks, Ramana
