* Lor.sh
  - a mastodon community for linux.org.ru users
  - hosted in France, free speech but follow server terms, general law
    in my region, and pay some attention to laws of where the server
    is hosted.
  - russian audience primarily, one indian
  - costs like 30 Euros/month for hosting, other costs might be
    present (maintenance, but not counted because done voluntarily)
* Is it possible to make mastodon profitable?
  - No
* How to bridge Open Source communites
  - There is a trend in open source communities to close down the
    community, they do so by picking a winner or picking a side even
    on issues unrelated to the project. Examples, Code of
    Conducts. Shoot themselves in the foot, and reduce the number of
    willing participants.
  - In the real world, I don't trust nobody. If I want to have my
    toilet fixed, I just call the plumber, I don't have to 'engage the
    plumber community', or the 'tiling community' to get the tiles in
    my bathroom fixed. I think currency and capitalism is a good
    solution that can help people communicate/collaborate freely.
* How to do proper Security on the web?
  - Security model, and threat model. Can there be a widely accepted
    security model and threat model? Again, I think this could take
    some inspiration from the real world. A model that's practical and
    easy to reason about, just like I have private property in the
    world I can have private property in the virtual world, and that's
    what I am trying to keep secure. Things like access to my
    computer, my passwords, but also any data i'd like to keep private.
  - memory safe programming, functional programming, types,
    proofs. There is a trend towards writing correct programs. Vs
    another trend towards isolation, encryption, distribution i.e. Not
    trusting the programs to work, but still having some guarantee
    that one piece collapsing does not bring down the rest of the
    system.
