  Reticulum was never meant to be a Python project. One implementation of a protocol spec is a single point of failure with good branding. Four independent Rust stacks exist: Leviculum, Ratspeak, Beechat, FreeTAKTeam. Why it matters: a native Rust core needs 2 to 5 MB RAM, not 35 to 60 MB for embedded CPython, and survives the Android culling that kills Python daemons. The real risk isn't Rust. It's fragmentation with no shared conformance suite. https://gaggl.com/blogs/2026-09...

  In 2011 I wrote "Facebook - good riddance!" and never looked back. This post is the opposite: no relief. What kept me on Flickr was never the company. It was an open licence and a shared habit of attribution. That practice deserves a home no company controls. So I'm building FediFlick (AGPL): one composer, five destinations, Flickr among them. A second home for that practice, not a replacement. Not a good riddance post. A thank you. https://gaggl.com/blogs/2026-09-0...

  In 1976, Bill Gates called hobbyists thieves for sharing software they'd written for each other. A property claim, not a philosophy. It's happening again, bigger. The digital commons wasn't destroyed; it was absorbed: a free fix for cut services, industry-funded R&D, cloud enclosure that stops copyleft triggering. AI goes further: it trains on the commons, floods it with slop, and isolates contributors chat by chat. https://gaggl.com/blogs/2026-07-14-what-the-commons-built/ #...

  What can biology teach us about building better technology? By drawing parallels between microbial networks and the Reticulum protocol, I explore why the future of society looks less like a corporate pyramid and more like a mycelial web. https://sein.com.au/articles/network-as-mycelial-web/ #SystemsThinking #Biomimicry #Decentralisation #Reticulum #Mycelium

  You paid $250 for a thermostat. Three years later, the company was acquired. The device still worked. The servers it depended on didn't. This is not bad luck. This is the business model. And it's the same model being applied to agricultural technology, farm management software, and precision irrigation platforms. https://sein.com.au/articles/your_smart_home_is_a_rental/ #Selfhosted #HomeAssistant #LocalFirst #Privacy #OpenSource #SmartHome #IndieWeb

  What if “positivity” isn’t just a mood, but a constraint on thought? Looking at how enforced optimism flattens disagreement, discourages scrutiny, and quietly narrows what can be said—or even considered. When critique itself starts to feel like a violation, it’s not kindness winning out—it’s inquiry being sidelined. https://gaggl.com/blogs/2026-04-13-the-tyranny-of-positivity/ #CriticalThinking #ToxicPositivity #IntellectualHonesty #brosphere #Culture #Fediverse #LongReads

  Aussie #PSA - should be compulsory viewing: Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing its imports of Australian gas than the Australian Government makes from the export of our gas. Not only has Australia been literally giving more than half of the gas we export away for free, we now learn that the same Japanese Government that is opposed to us putting a tax on our gas and coal exports, has been raking in billions of dollars per year via their own tax on gas and coal imports. This video i...
