   Blogging could be just a program that lives on your computer or your phone. You make drafts like you would in Word/LibreOffice, and when you click publish it adds it to shares. Then your friends can connect to you and download it directly from you when you're online. It doesn't have to be complicated. It doesn't have to be highly available. It doesn't have to "scale".

     @polymerwitch A residential router running an up-to-date Linux distro, with an easy-to-use yet powerful configuration GUI, the ability to SSH in as root for advanced users, and ISP tech support that actually helps people with their bespoke configuration attempts and server administration issues, instead of telling you to "turn it off and on again" while trying to scam you into 20 upgrade packages simultaneously

     @polymerwitch Like just imagine, what if ISP-provided routers were actually designed to be secure, user-friendly, flexible, and /useful/? What if you could just drag-and-drop files onto the router's file share over your LAN, and have them instantly hosted on a built-in HTTP server?
