NativePlanet

Our friends @ZorpZK built some Nockapp tools and told us to give 'em a try. @NalluxD jumped in and whipped up a POC "To-Do List" app in no time. Safe to say, we're quickly becoming big fans of Nockapp development.

It can be. Here is ours.

When Vere 3.0 dropped, we quietly launched an Urbit app for Groundseg, allowing you to control your hardware and manage ships on the go. 🚀 It's finally ready for primetime. Download it from ~nattyv/groundseg

Opcodes 0-11 have been achieved internally.

They are starting to appear in the wild.

We're fascinated by technology's transformative power: Printing press democratized knowledge. Rifle reshaped power structures. Now, personal servers are the new frontier.

They don't want you to know this, but your ALU is a weapon.

Nonhuman agents will increasingly dictate social dynamics beyond our understanding—probabilistic demons trained on words written by you and I. The best time to withdraw was yesterday. The next best time is today.

Electrical communication collapses distance and time, pulling the periphery into the core and homogenizing language and discourse. Encryption is the escape hatch for heterogenous elements: We exit the homogenized grid but immediately regroup as electrically liberated swarm.

Native Planet is an ideologically motivated project. If you want to fit in, buy an iMac. If you want to make war on the control society, buy a Native Planet.

The computer is an enigma... Man appears incapable of foreseeing anything about the computer's influence on society and humanity. We have most likely never dealt with such an ambiguous apparatus, an instrument... whose true potentials we are unable to scrutinize. —Jacques Ellul

after the self, the network

History only presents a few moments like this, where the the leverage offered by a new technology is broadly available to individuals, exerts centrifugal force on existing power structures, and resists being put back into the box.

GroundSeg is our orchestrating software. It synthesizes everything on your personal server: - Runs the containers - Runs your S3 bucket or MinIO - Runs StarTram - Runs Urbit and any other service

One huge benefit of a Native Planet computer is that it gives you maximal control over your ship: - Automate pack-and-melds - Rebuild the container holding your ship - Custom domain - Access your ship from any terminal - Developer mode Most importantly, they look cool!

When it comes to making your software reachable from the internet, you have several options: - Configure networking rules - Set up cloud deployment - Private VPNs - Relaying your connection Or just buy a Tellurian! ;-)
