6 Questions

Who am I? Greetings! If this is the first time you've ever ran
across me I am Unkle Bonehead and welcome to the Self Hosted
Podcast, a journey into taking control of your data and entering
the Fediverse. It's not only my journey but it just might be yours
as well. Why? Because large corporations such as Google, Facebook,
Twitter, Amazon, etc have your data in their control. And that
means they have successfully turned human beings into a product.
Back when I was in high school and computers were just getting
started I kept hearing over and over that "Information is the way
of the future." I didnt understand it until now. The information
they were talking about is you and me. Our personal data. Your
personal information. They have successfully, and we have willfully
let them, turn our very existance into a product that can be sold
to advertisers. A phrase I hear a lot now adays is "If your not
root, you dont own it." And that is more true now than ever before.
What is this podcast about? This podcast is about getting away from
all that. Getting away from being hitched at the hip to large
conglomorate corporations that dont care about you or your privacy
and may even want to keep your personal opinions quiet. Where can
you find it and more info? Over the first couple of episodes I'll
talk about how to go about taking back conrrol over your stuff and
getting back to being root of your life. I will talk about how easy
it is to host your own server, whether its on a remote vps or right
in your own home. Sync your pc, phone, contact list, music, movies,
ebooks, email, etc. All in your control and not in someone elses.
No one sniffing your broswer history, reading your direct messages
or emails just so they can show you better ads. When can you get
new episodes? I'm going to try to publish them as weekly but some
may come as early as every other day.It depends on what I may run
across and how exciting it is. You can get them right here on this
website and I may mirror tham on Archive.org. There is an itunes
button to subscribe to the show but it isnt on it. I may, sometime
in the future, decide to submit to itunes but for the immeaditate
future no. If I run into problems with the download speed or some
other technical issue I may use Anchor.fm as I do with my other
podcasts. But I really want to keep with the self hosting scheme.
