If you’re looking for an affordable provider for open-source software, you should check out “PikaPods”.

My FreshRSS instance is still hosted on fly.io. If they cut my free tier, I’ll probably move to PikaPods or Uberspace.

In their statement »Ethical Web Principles« they really put it succinctly: the web should be for everyone.

The web should be a platform that helps people and provides a positive social benefit. As we continue to evolve the web platform, we must therefore consider the consequences of our work. The following document sets out ethical principles that will drive W3C’s continuing work in this direction.

I think this document is great! It underlines how important it is to keep developing the web as an open, inclusive, and positive platform.

For quite a while now there’s been the idea of being able to use your PC anytime, anywhere — whether you’re at a friend’s place or at work.

The solution is called cloud computing. The entire operating system runs in the browser. In the past I’ve already written about EyeOS.

You have to install EyeOS yourself and it offers relatively few features. Now there’s a provider that takes care of the installation for you and gives you online storage — and it’s all free.

The provider and the operating system are called iCloud. The project is still in alpha, but it’s intended to remain free. So far iCloud only works really well in Internet Explorer, but compatibility with other browsers is being worked on.

iCloud comes with a nice sidebar and a Windows Vista–style look.
I’m really curious to see how this develops. 😊

You can find it at icloud.com.
