Creating my own decentralized net
This
idea has been floating in my mind for quite sometime, ever since I got my own
studio room from my parents that i could use however I wanted, since i own a
bunch of computers, three laptops (technically four) and three desktops, I
started wondering if I could create my own digital ecosystem with various
services such as a local archival of youtube content, movies, music, various
websites and even a chat system so that every machine could talk to one another
on this giant but also very small net of devices.
Frankly, even if I wanted to do this, it's not like I have the space to do so,
my studio is pretty small and there's really no need for a centralized network
if all I have is a simple room where people can just talk to one another, maybe
it's just my fascination for small ecosystems that makes me think of stuff like
this.
One way of making this actually usable is to create some kind of way to connect
devices outside of that room, maybe with something like NordVPN's meshnet (or by
creating a tunnel with wireguard, but my current ISP doesn't let me open router
ports so that's impossible for now) like let's say I have my little ecosystem
that I can control from outside, that would be very cool in my opinion.
Or maybe I could just make it some sort of archive, like, yes, people CAN communicate with eachother, but we also have like accounts where we document the stuff we do in the room so that it's saved forever.
