So I took a break from using google products for a while. Last year I gave in and started using Jamboard.
Fortunately since then I've picked up enough html to think I can clap together a tackboard for myself with plenty of space to make it pretty later.
If I want to access it from just one computer, I can leave it in the file systems and run those internal files on a browsing program (life firefox) like any other .html website.
If I want to be able to access it anywhere I'm logged into my home wifi, I can host it from a turned on device (a computer or a phone), or even maybe on a hard drive plugged into the router (some mid grade to fancy ones have usb ports for simple storage)
It will be kind of clunky, but a fun project to improve the look and input options over time, and as long as I back up the files periodically, I don't have to worry about people out of town adding software migrations to my life.
I think it's a reasonable goal to have more direct control over more of the computing tools I use, insofar as I can. I think a lot of accessibility has been taken off the internet and out of our cultural communication about how the 'net works... and with a little curiosity and flexibility, users can add that back for themselves perhaps.

Best idea a cryptobro has ever had
This is actually a good idea when you think about it: to segregate Web3 into its own DNS system and protocols, so that Neocities/Spacehey/Retroweb-type stuff has its space to shine on the REAL Internet. Cryptobro bantustan. (Also makes Web3 shit easier for sane sysadmins and/or BOFHs to block.) https://w3url.w3eth.io/#/
I wholly support this, if only so the cryptobros get to play with their own broken pay-to-win internet, while we're having fun, making friends, and doing things that actually have reach on the REAL internet.

Mackerelmedia Fish is an odd, fun, retroweb adventure
[ad_1]
Bet you didn’t expect to be reading about a game named after deprecated multimedia platform Macromedia Flash in 2020.
Mackerelmedia Fishis the latest creation of indie designer Nathalie Lawhead, in which you play an internet archaeologist exploring a crumbledown website as it falls to bits around you. There are minigames tucked away within it, and a big fish to find, as well as a rat who…
