| 1 | Launch and Intentions |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Hey, my name's Cernodile, the system administrator for based.quest and its services. |
| 4 | I started this website with the intent of creating a sane, perhaps based, space on the |
| 5 | internet where you are not being spied or tracked on. I will be offering services that |
| 6 | help you achieve sovereignty over your data. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | To kick things off, I've launched an [Invidious instance](https://iv.based.quest). Invidious |
| 9 | allows you to watch YouTube videos without actually ever interfacing with Google. If you find |
| 10 | Invidious tedious to use, you can use it as an API and pick a front-end of your liking (e.g. |
| 11 | FreeTube). |
| 12 | |
| 13 | I will not be moving my [Searx instance](https://searx.cernodile.com) neither my [Matrix](https://matrix.org) |
| 14 | homeserver, they will continue to be available on cernodile.com. This domain will continue to |
| 15 | house anything that I haven't on cernodile.com. I am thinking of trying out [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org) and |
| 16 | maybe if I can work out GDPR nuances, [Dendrite Matrix homeserver](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite). |
