You can read long-form thoughts at notes.pault.ag/tpl/ where I tried to capture as much as I could into one place.
This is on my blog but I was just the one to put keyboard to markdown here. I am exactly one of many. I hope this represents our thoughts well. It definitely represents mine.

We know we can't scale this. We can't even get all our friends on the LAN. I don't know how long that will take -- nevermind letting anyone outside that group in.
However -- this is my call for you to do the same. Build your own LAN. Connect it with friends’ homes. Have fun with computers.

We’ve grown our own culture and fads - around half of the people on the LAN have thermal receipt printers with open access, for printing out quips or jokes on each other’s counters.
There’s a 3-node IRC network, exotic hardware to gawk at, LAN only email, and even a SIP phone network of redphones.

In December of 2021, three of us got together and connected our houses together.
The idea is simple - fill the hole we feel is gone from our lives. Build our own always-on 24/7 nonstop LAN party. Build a space that is intrinsically social, even though we’re doing technical things.

very excited waiting for the first time I read an article about utility battery energy storage systems outside of trade publications where the author talks about capacity in terms of both kW and kWh
today’s not that day, but surely I’ll arrive at the better future soon!
