I thought you were being facetious, so I clicked the link anyway. No, it’s chat for sure. I hate the world today.

I’m going to be a little pedantic, for the sake of completeness, because I very much appreciate and value what Decronym bit did here and want it to cover any gaps that may arise (especially for newcomers).

AP doesn’t necessarily have to be wifi or wireless; I’ve used many hardwired APs. WAP stands for wireless access point, though it’s almost always shorthanded to AP (more so now, maybe, because of a dumbass song with the same name).

Maybe. I’ll have to see if I can find it. It’s been a few years, but I hope I do still have it. If I do, I’ll share it

Literally my first server lol

I redid this book once, changing words and some pictures to make it for Linux server. I wanted a book that made sense.

Wow, thanks, I hated it!

As it should be! Lol

Bluesky is supposed to decentralized, though it doesn’t seem to be. Threads being blocked doesn’t change the fact that it is technically part of the verse, although a red herring. Maybe both poor examples, but they’re alternatives to the verse, which was my point. Maybe adding a public mastodon instance as an alternative would have been a better example, but the main point stands: a uni isn’t likely going to host their own instance, due to the inherent risk associated with it.

Honorable goal. But it won’t work. From a business’s perspective, hosting such a server adds inherent risk. They won’t do it. You may be able to convince them to use the fediverse through threads or bluesky, but they won’t host their own instance, even if the CTO/CIO/CISO agrees with your love for the verse. I’m not saying you shouldn’t try. I’m saying you should provide alternatives to twitter and to self-hosted mastodon; alternatives that don’t require self hosting anything.
