Creating a series

This is a content outline for each of my brands, Farrier Services, Steelbak, Flying-Higher and DiggnDeeper, focusing on creating “The Network” and creating a series around it by documenting its design and implementation. The outline reflects the unique focus of the respective brand while maintaining a cohesive narrative around the central theme of my network infrastructure.

Its all about using open source and decentralized tech to Own Our Means Of Production through a permissionless and open way that has no "middle men". Its all about the creators here, and our networks are the focal tool for that to happen. Thank goodness we have them.

Its finally time

I spent most of the past week and a half researching how to build and understand my Hive Witness node. Although I'm a fairly experienced server copypasta, it has taken me some time to digest this. I'm way behind, but I'm getting there now and below is the outline for moving forward. I've actually been planning on this for years, just had a lot to do first (like save money for this opportunity). Anyway, I've put a lot of thought into this and its exciting to hopefully get this going - and the right way.

If I understand correctly, this will all be self funded and I don't see why I would ever have to sell to pay the upkeep. I'm pretty sure I can handle it, but I might learn otherwise if something blindsides me that I'm just ignorant of.

Concept:

Our networks are everything these days and now we have the ability to actually OWN our communications, markets and even governance. Open source software and blockchains like Hive and Monero give us what we need. There are other platforms like NXT derivatives that have tons of value too. We’ll get into all of that.

There are much smarter people out there; lets talk to them and build this stuff.
#WeHaveTheTools

Once again, below is an first draft outline of a series I plan to create. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Steelbak.com: Practical DIY and Homesteading Network Applications

Introduction to Network Needs in DIY and Homesteading

• Overview of why a robust network is crucial for modern homesteading and DIY projects.

Building a Network for a DIY Homestead: Step-by-Step Guide

All of this content is a lot to do and I'm well aware that I tend to bite off more than I can handle, but like I keep saying; I've put a lot of thought and investment into getting here.
