#Solid pod stuff is interesting... Anyway to just self-host? So pod data only intermittently available, still could be cached...

@douginamug can you clarify "intermittently available, still could be cached"? maybe say another way?
@rosano I mean, do I have to make an account on another server to get podding? Or can I run from my device directly? Sorry, I really should do more homework...

@douginamug Yes, you can self-host a #SolidProject server, including directly from your device
e.g. You can Community Solid Server locally or with a production setup:
https://github.com/mrkvon/css-setup
There's also an experimental desktop app: https://github.com/SolidOS/data-kitchen
Some apps are local first or have caching, so the pod doesn't need to be always accessible
@jg10
You can also use one of the publicly established instances, such as https://solidcommunity.net/
@douginamug
Your username becomes a subdomain of your own Pod, hosted by such a pod server. Everyone has their own pods (= accounts on a pod server).
Then your pod (=account) saves a WebID configuration, which makes it possible to log in with it.
I am playing on https://yala.solidcommunity.net/public/ but not much happening there.

@douginamug @yala That's strange. It sounds like that particular server is having a problem. You could try again later or on another server. Or file an issue at https://github.com/solid/solidcommunity.net
@douginamug afaik the data's home is on the server, apps can request access, whether it's cached locally depends on the app.
curious to know also what specifically you find interesting about it
