Look at that upstream rate from the KMTel's () $45 fiber plan.

Now they just need to support some non standard ports for every single one of us who need to get certs for other servers on the network - because obviously the web server is already using 80 and 443...... I had to write a script to ssh to the webserver, swap virtual hosts for ones that include proxying, proxy to the internal server, and then reset everything back afterwards.....

This is an experiment. Can I take control of my online life and move it to a place where I have more control? Can I pull my content out of multiple silos? And can I import existing content from other platforms and keep it (somewhat) synced over time so I have a full record of my public online life?
We're going to find out..
The trigger for me was an article about my early days working with the Internet Gopher Community. I had saved most of the email from back then and it was quite easy to reconstruct and remember what happened. I don't think I'll have the luxury for much of what's happening recently. The digital ephemera is spread out too far and wide to reconstruct and reflect.
To get there I'm experimenting with the hosted version of Known, a publishing platform that supports the things that matter to me. I like that it's open source, interoperable and respectful of human effort -- it also supports a number of Indieweb technologies out of the box like WebMention, and brid.gy to pull back content from the Silos.
So.. you're going to see more content in more places as I'll be syndicating out to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. And I'll be sharing more as I document this process.

Gopher, 25 years on. Long, fun read.
Twenty-five years ago, a small band of programmers from the University of Minnesota ruled the internet.
And then they didn’t.
Also HN discussion here:
Hahaha I saw gopher and my first thought was hey I wonder if Paul has readnthis.... and then saw who posted
Hehe i had no idea you had done gopher prior to google!! Super cool paul!
So sad that UMinn wanted to own it all. Then HTTP came along and no one owned that. :-)

Hyperbolic discounting of future costs and Ulysses pacts are apropos to many situations. For example, technical debt.
That's basically what happened in Lafayette, LA. The city was building out a Fiber Optic network to serve the (municipally owned) electrical grid, and they decided to build a service selling Internet access on that fiber. It was set up a separate company that needs to grow organically, and it's been successful. Plus, I have reliable Gigabit Fiber to my house for ~$100/mo.
My wife can be watching Netflix in the Living Room while I'm streaming video to my computer, on an active (nearly lag-less) SSH connection, with a large file upload going on in the background, and you'd never know it. I have seen the Broadband Future, and it is good.
Unfortunately, found it in Southwest Louisiana, and I refuse stay here forever.
