10 years ago, the Internet Archive convened the first Decentralized Web Summit in San Francisco 2016. Now, we've invited five of the original Builders to look back & look forward with us:
What have we learned? How has the early promise of decentralization panned out? Where to go from here?
A Decentralized Web Server that combines WordPress + Tor + Wayback Machine.
What if publishing a website required no hosting provider, no domain registrar, no cert, and no one's permission? OnionPress is a free, open-source Mac/Linux app that turns your laptop into a WordPress site running as a Tor onion service, the Wayback Machine makes it always-on. Install it, and you have a blog, a file-sharing gallery, and a globally-reachable address — all from your own machine, no cloud, and no way for anyone to take it down.
