Rowan the Selfsame<p>I am a <a href="https://c.im/tags/CitizenScientist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CitizenScientist</span></a> at heart, and it bothers me not that <a href="https://c.im/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> is prevalent and powerful (high speed, high storage capacity), but that such improvement of our technology is gatekept behind massive <a href="https://c.im/tags/paywalls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paywalls</span></a>.</p><p>(TL;DR: the cost of a portable genome sequencer and also data storage makes it unattainable to collaborate as a citizen scientist, and that makes me big mad 😡!! I know we can do something about it.)</p><p>I dream of an internet <a href="https://c.im/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infrastructure</span></a> that would enable me, and others, to <a href="https://c.im/tags/democratize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democratize</span></a> data, storage space, and processing power. Such would bolster research and study across many fields of knowledge.</p><p>Allow me to set the scene. </p><p>- A <a href="https://c.im/tags/PublicCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicCommons</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CommunityMesh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityMesh</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MeshNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeshNetwork</span></a> interlinks public and private schools, weather broadcast stations, public government buildings, medical facilities, public transit centers, large housing complexes, and observation towers in public parks for civil and public academic use. Low-power Radio Wide Area Networks (<a href="https://c.im/tags/LoRaWAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoRaWAN</span></a>) might prove useful here for environmental sensors.</p><p>- <a href="https://c.im/tags/FreedomBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomBox</span></a> or no-assembly-required <a href="https://c.im/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cloudlet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cloudlet</span></a> solutions bring <a href="https://c.im/tags/FaultTolerance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FaultTolerance</span></a> to the hands of <a href="https://c.im/tags/WebService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebService</span></a> architects.</p><p>- <a href="https://c.im/tags/NetworkAttachedStorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NetworkAttachedStorage</span></a> (<a href="https://c.im/tags/NAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NAS</span></a>) equips locations connected to the network an opportunity to share _some_ data storage capacity as a cache for the functions of the greater network. (In my opinion, altruistic features should be opt-out conditions.)

This is useful for cataloging and searching through datasets to find pertinent information.
