I am watching some amazing things happen with social media decentralization that doesn't so much effect my work but my personal studies. Seeing this happening and wanting to be able to contribute to it, has encouraged me to try to learn web development again. This time I am going to go about it the smart way with thanks to The Odin Project. I am also keeping a keen eye on the burgeoning offerings of SD-WAN to the consumer market. Some really neat stuff is being contributed back to the community by Slack through their Nebula project.
It's an exciting time to study and experiment in FOSS right now. The internet is taking a dramatic shift back towards its decentralized roots. It's fun to be able to participate in ad-free discussions and without being shown content we largely do not want to see because an algorithm is steering us towards it to boost ad revenue.
