Shared roof terrace gardens are certainly a great way to urbanize some of these ideas.

That KVM can be on a separate connection.

If you use a regular PC as the router you can attach a KVM to remote control and reboot it.

On Linux mobile Puremaps is nice.

Quicksy and Prav apps allow you to easily signup via SMS verification like WhatApp etc. Super easy and the app works like Whatsapp, completely usable for non technical users (much more so than any Matrix client).

And Snikket is an super easy all in one solution for running a XMPP based small group server with invite based onboarding. Also completely non-technical user compatible.

There is a nice software for this and the developers run some city specific versions in Germany: https://lauti.org/

Some domain registers offer free webspace with the domain. OVH for example gives 100mb (incl. php) which is more than sufficient for a simple website.

Snikket isn’t really meant to be customized with other components right now, but it is possible to get Biboumi working with it.

Most people use Biboumi as a bouncer for external IRC networks, but of course it also works with a self-hosted IRC server.

Where is this mesh network located? Sounds amazing.

Why not Biboumi as an IRC bouncer?

I finally need to get around automating the deployment of a Hugo based website via Forgejo webhooks this week.

Read this article carefully and you can see the xenophobia etc. seeping out. He seems to think of himself or at least often presents himself as a US style libertarian, but evidently he is totally ok with xenophobia and other white supremacist extreme right-wing stuff…

He clearly is. Maybe it was too subtile for you to notice?

AFAIK run by Luke Smith, a white supremist YouTube influencer…

And some of the guides are pretty outdated and unhelpful.

They are the org hosting Forgejo development and are well aware of efforts to add federation to it.

In the video he explains how he removed the battery and made a direct power connection.
