No sooner do I write about Excel being misused when Public Health England provides the perfect example - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54423988

Something I have been thinking about and finally got round to posting

By combining their the standard peertube build instructions with the apache configuration snippet at https://gist.github.com/rigelk/07a0b8963fa4fc1ad756374c28479bc7 I can see there is a quite a lot to do in order to turn it into a proper package, though I think making deployment on shared systems would benefit everyone. My instance at https://peertube.paladyn.org

Had to break off from trying to set up a Peertube server to help my wife get some people set up with Zoom and Facebook - federated social media wont take off until it can be set up by your local knitting group, allotment society,in this case Phab Club, etc. https://oxford-phab.wp.paladyn.org/

When I was younger I read a lot of Science Fiction (I still do, just maybe not so much), and it seemed unlikely to me that the default social model in the far future was feudal. Now, seeing how hard it is to persuade 'real' (non techie) people to use, for example Jitsi over zoom, XMPP over WhatsApp etc, I can see the power of the Feudal model (http://en.collaboratory.de/w/Power_in_the_Age_of_the_Feudal_Internet) Can Social Network Federation win ? I hope so
