  11 Hey, my name's Cernodile, the system administrator for based.quest and its services.
  12 I started this website with the intent of creating a sane, perhaps based, space on the
  13 internet where you are not being spied or tracked on. I will be offering services that
  14 help you achieve sovereignty over your data.

  16 To kick things off, I've launched an [Invidious instance](https://iv.based.quest). Invidious
  17 allows you to watch YouTube videos without actually ever interfacing with Google. If you find
  18 Invidious tedious to use, you can use it as an API and pick a front-end of your liking (e.g.
  19 FreeTube).

  21 I will not be moving my [Searx instance](https://searx.cernodile.com) neither my [Matrix](https://matrix.org)
  22 homeserver, they will continue to be available on cernodile.com. This domain will continue to
  23 house anything that I haven't on cernodile.com. I am thinking of trying out [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org) and
  24 maybe if I can work out GDPR nuances, [Dendrite Matrix homeserver](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite).
