Secure Scuttlebutt

Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is a peer-to-peer social network platform.

@sudoer

On the space.local server, there is an installation of ssb-server hosting a SSB node, with name "sudoer". It auto-follows SSB peers that it discovers on the local network, using ssb-clingy. Since visibility on the network depends on having followers, this means people can join the main SSB network just by running SSB while being present on Sudo Room's Network and running SSB. @sudoer is also running patchfoo, a web-based SSB UI. Sudo Room Members can access this UI to post to @sudoer's SSB feed or view the SSB network from its perspective.
