Really, I think libraries should also be actual data centers.
As in, a server closet. Preferability solar powered by panels on the building's roof.
It can host neighborhood email and bulletin boards, personal websites, offer some shared services and compute.
@socketwench I totally agree. My local group is doing just that, and we have a system for the local library servers to share date p2p between the web apps. Details at https://lores.tech
@jadehopepunk @socketwench This looks amazing! With some neighbors, I have been discussing with our local library installing a solar LoRa node repeater, for comms in a power outage and general community use. Your lores project looks like an excellent complement.
