open-source human experiment

since 2019, i've been structuring my whole life to be open-source and streamed in real-time using the l1f3 streaming system.

i.e. i want pretty much everything i do to be public, to varying accessibility degrees, so my life itself can be an experiment into how much this kind of shareability can help with self-discovery, collaboration and positive impact on others.

most of what i've been tracking/implementing still isn't live, but the direction is to have a modular real-time page/dashboard, quantified self-like, similar to how is felix today?, but with less focus on personal metrics and more on data/information relevant for collaboration and impact.

the challenges of building it are many, as very well presented in articles such as https://beepb00p.xyz/sad-infra.html, https://jon.bo/posts/digital-tools/ and https://utopia.rosano.ca/interoperable-visions/, but i've been slowly doing it with bits and pieces from here and there.

once this project is live, i'll update here with more details on my setup.
