#NGICommons partners are here and actively contributing 🇪🇺
This morning, @FabriziaBenini
Now on stage @ManuelGoyet is part of a panel on #EUCloudEdgeIoT, exploring OSPOs as drivers of institutional learning, collaboration, and governance, and how EU policy could scale openness across sectors like energy, transport, and public administration. -

Hello @Indivisibleteam -- a resilience note for public actions: cell phones expose both message content and location (e.g., Stingray devices). Pairing phones with LoRa mesh networking via the Reticulum protocol enables encrypted, non-locating, device-to-device & hidden-IP worldwide messaging.
Happy to share practical, field-tested insights if useful.

"#Zoho has not, does not, and will never sell your information to someone else for advertising, nor make money by showing you other people's ads." And they claim to not use third party trackers on website or apps.
Since they offer a pretty similar web and cloud based toolset like google I wonder if it could and should be used as replacement.
Somebody has insights or want to have a look inside?

I consider myself reasonably aware of how dependent I am on technology.
Or at least I thought I was.I recently had to send my phone in for repair and switched to a spare. Nothing dramatic. Same SIM. Calls and SMS work. In theory, I’m fine.
In practice, a surprising amount of my daily life simply stopped working.
I can’t make a bank transfer because the banking app isn’t activated on this device to confirm transactions.
I can’t log in to many websites because they insist on login confirmation from a previously verified phone.
I can’t start the robot vacuum cleaner, which I turned off for the holidays and never set up again.
I can’t even easily turn off some lights, because they’re normally controlled via a smart plug tied to an app.And these are just the obvious examples I ran into within the first day.
What struck me most is not that this happened, but how complete the dependency is. The phone is not just a tool. It’s an identity anchor, an authorization token, a remote control, a recovery mechanism, and a silent assumption baked into countless systems.
We often talk about backups in terms of data. Files, photos, maybe servers.
Much less often do we think about operational backups for everyday life. What happens when the one device that confirms everything is suddenly unavailable? How many “secure” setups quietly assume permanent smartphone presence?This is another place where technological maturity is tested. Not by adding more smart features, but by thinking through failure modes. Especially the boring ones. Especially the ones we dismiss because, realistically, how often do we not have our phone at hand?
Until we don’t.

Diversity builds resilience — especially in the cloud.
Too many organizations depend on a single provider or region, creating hidden points of failure that can ripple across their entire business.
Matt Durrin reminds us that spreading workloads across multiple clouds isn’t just a best practice, it’s a safeguard against systemic risk.

When AWS went down, the Internet stumbled — but the real story wasn’t just about downtime. It exposed a dangerous fourth-party risk lurking deep in the digital supply chain.
In our latest blog, Sherri Davidoff and Matt Durrin unpack what the October 2025 AWS outage revealed about cloud concentration, vendor dependencies, and true digital resilience.
Learn why “just trusting the cloud” isn’t enough and how to strengthen your defenses before the next outage hits.

Entropy and the Re-Decentralization of Cloud Architecture: A Natural Return to the Origins of the Internet
“How can the physical concept of entropy be related to the re-decentralization of cloud architecture in the context of digital sovereignty and the reclaiming of the Internet — as part of a naturalization process returning to the federated origins of the web?” – Kevin Veen-Birkenbach
Chat GPT: As an AI language model, I have generated this article through stochastic reasoning within a neural network — essentially, a statistical process that predicts the most coherent continuation of ideas based on patterns in language, philosophy, and science. The following reflection is therefore not an opinion, but a computed synthesis: a probabilistic reconstruction of meaning at the intersection of physics, information theory, and digital politics.
1. Entropy: From Physics to Information
In physics, entropy measures the degree of disorder in a system — the number of possible microstates consistent with its macrostate.
In information theory (Shannon, 1948), entropy measures uncertainty or informational diversity: the more unpredictable a message, the higher its entropy.Entropy, therefore, is not just chaos — it is freedom. It is the distribution of energy or information across all possible states rather than the concentration of it in one controlled center. Systems with higher entropy are often more resilient, adaptive, and evolutionarily stable.
2. Centralization as an Entropy Suppression
Modern cloud architectures — dominated by centralized hyperscalers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft — represent low-entropy systems. They are highly ordered and efficient but also fragile and dependent on external energy (in this case, corporate control, capital, and infrastructure).
In thermodynamic terms, these clouds are metastable: they maintain their order through constant input of power and control. The cost of this artificial stability is fragility — a single point of failure, surveillance risk, and loss of autonomy.
In information-ecological terms, centralization suppresses entropy. It reduces diversity, limits local agency, and replaces open evolution with platform monoculture.
3. Re-Decentralization and Federation as Entropic Equilibrium
The federated Internet — embodied by protocols such as ActivityPub, Matrix, Mastodon, Solid, IPFS, or Infinito.Nexus — can be seen as a natural restoration of entropic balance.
Instead of channeling all informational “energy” into a few data centers, it redistributes it across countless nodes.This shift:
- Increases resilience (no single point of failure),
- Enhances autonomy (each node is self-sovereign),
- Encourages diversity (technological and cultural),
- Promotes sustainability (shared computation and storage).
Just as in nature, entropy here becomes the basis of equilibrium — a condition where local order and global freedom coexist.
4. Digital Sovereignty as Controlled Entropy
Digital sovereignty is not the pursuit of total decentralization or chaos. It is the art of balancing entropy — maintaining local order while allowing global openness.
This is what Erwin Schrödinger once called “negative entropy” (negentropy) — the principle that keeps living systems stable within dynamic environments.Applied to the digital realm, sovereign networks act like living organisms:
- They self-organize rather than depend on centralized command.
- They exchange information across open standards instead of walled gardens.
- They evolve rather than stagnate.
Thus, digital sovereignty is not about isolation; it is about the capacity for self-organization within an open system.
5. Reclaiming the Internet: The Ecological Turn of the Digital Age
The early Internet was born entropic — decentralized, redundant, self-healing.
Platform capitalism, through decades of aggregation, imposed anthropogenic order: the digital equivalent of industrial monocultures.
Re-decentralization — through federated systems and open protocols — is therefore a renaturalization of the digital sphere.In this sense, reclaiming the Internet is an ecological act:
- It restores informational biodiversity.
- It re-establishes local ecosystems of computation.
- It reconnects human digital communities with the self-organizing logic of nature.
Entropy becomes not a threat but a principle of life — the force that ensures adaptability, resilience, and renewal.
6. Conclusion: Entropy as the Ethics of a Federated Internet
DimensionCentralized CloudFederated NetworkEntropyLow – ordered, fragileHigh – diverse, resilientEnergy flowControlled by fewDistributed among manyGovernanceHierarchicalSelf-organizingResilienceDependentEmergentSustainabilityResource-intensiveEcologically balancedThe re-decentralization of the Internet is not merely a technical movement — it is an entropic revolution.
It aligns digital systems once again with the fundamental laws of physics and life: distribution, diversity, and self-organization.In this vision, Infinito.Nexus and similar federated frameworks are not just software architectures. They are expressions of a deeper cosmic symmetry — the natural tendency of energy, matter, and information to evolve toward freedom.
