Since I’m thinking about the indie internet, and about ‘owning’ my own space, being Independent from systems and corporations, I realized that I don’t really know what the internet it.
Take a My-Mooc course on the history of the internet to understaind domain names and DNS
Questions I’d like to understand:
- What is a website
- where is the internet
- where does a website live
- how does one ‘kill’ the interenet, and the opposite, how does one manage survival of the internet
- what is the world wide web - and what other www equivalents are out there? how do i access them?
- How do i have autonomy over a website, completely?
- Apparantly you can have a website on a ‘blockchain’ domain. This is owned by you and nobody can take it from you. There is no monthly fee, just a stored key. this is web3?
- How do I avoid data corruption
