tantek greetings mkowens
#
mkowens hey tantek
#
mkowens So yeah. The question that I posted on Twitter, I'll restate it here more clearly.
#
tantek personal data storage, collection, privacy is an interesting problem - especially if/when you consider the indieweb angle
#
tantek i.e. if we're all indie and own our data and use our own sites, how do we handle the interactions between our sites?
#
tantek I think if we solve that indie-peer-to-indie-peer version of it, we'll come up with the ideal goal which we can then retrofit to existing walled gardens / sharecrop farms etc.
#
mkowens I think you restated it better than I was going to, given that I'm a bit distracted at work at the moment.
#
tantek basically I like considering the indie case because it raises the importance of considering both the person visiting the site, and the person maintaining the site
#
tantek anything that's too hard for the person maintaining the site to implement is not going to get done
#
tantek like, you want me to do what with my Apache logs that I never touch?
#
tantek (as an example)
#
tantek np
#
tantek I have to switch locations - bbiab.
#
mkowens Sure.
#
tantek BTW as another example - this IRC channel is logged

#
mkowens Nice.
#
tantek so sometimes there are tradeoffs to make between open persistent reliable discussions, and privacy, deletability etc.
