    IPFS is used by several archive projects like Anna's archive and libgen.

    Meshtastic is a distributed local mesh network for text messaging.

  • Mullenweg Considers Delaying WordPress Releases Through 2027

    Jump

  • The plugin ecosystem is full of freemium garbage. It's also designed so a functional site basically requires the jetpack plugin, which is a connector to automattic's proprietary SaaS.
