Media history from the 1970s.
'Thus Truckstop Network, was more than a road trip tour; it was also a statement about mobility itself... Placed just off the highway, each truckstop would offer an array of services for those living on the road: housing, electricity, and water; truck repair and a communal kitchen; but also communications services – computers and video equipment – seen, “like food and gas, as nutrients necessary for survival.” '

thx for sharing, I enjoyed it too--it's a potent little preview for Prehistory of the Cloud. Maybe I've been living in a cave, but I hadn't seen the reference to Sedgwick's idea of "reparative reading" before, which seems like a practice that is more important than ever.
Also, "media nomad" is such a perfect Deleuzian term for the emerging informational lifestyles we see growing out of the remains of centralized forms of web media, especially here in the fedi!

semi related to prev: the fact that there's a TLD (top level domain; the "dot com" in "example dot com") for both dot theatre and dot theater is so funny. especially since they belong to different companies.
if you want to buy a dot theatre domain, you obviously have to buy the american spelling too, or you'll get domain squatted. and vice versa. you have to pay two different companies for this.

We do not use Google trackers on our website or blog, please do not worry about that.
As for video content — we have our eye on publishing our videos on PeerTube in the future. We will share an update as soon as we have news. This is a known demand.
And you mentioned notifications. If it is about our apps, please do share an issue on GitHub, suggestions would be invaluable: github.com/nextcloud
"We do not use Google trackers on our website"
I checked with uBlock origin the day I posted that, and it was blocking 2 items from Google. Checking now I see Matomo instead, so thank you.

Why "in the future"? Tilvids confirmed they'd be happy to host you. I've offered to set up YouTube mirroring free of charge. There is no cost to you beyond giving permission, and yet I've been calling with no response for years.
