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.
