	I have an idea for a thing.

	Now, I get a lot of ideas for things and some of them are just too
	big for me to do in a reasonable timeframe. Sometimes they're so
	big my eyes glaze over at the very thought, so I just tell
	everyone else in a blog or phlog and hope someone else does it.
	Sometimes the idea is so dumb that I know I'm the only hope and
	have to do it myself. Sometimes the timinging is such that it
	needs to be done right away or it's not relevant. Sometimes time
	doesn't matter and I can just ignore it until I'm bored one night.
	In my head this all adds up to a sort of Eisenhower decision
	matrix:

	URGENT NOT URGENT
	+---------------------------------------------+
	\| \| \|
	\| \| \|
	Important \| Do it First \| Schedule it \|
	\| \| \|
	\| \| \|
	\| \| \|
	+---------------------+-----------------------+
	\| \| \|
	\| \| \|
	Not \| \| \|
	Important \| Delegate it \| Don't do it \|
	\| \| \|
	\| \| \|
	\| \| \|
	+---------------------------------------------+

	Except in my case it's more of a "don't do it and feel bad vs
	don't do it and don't care".

	Well, now I've got an idea for +-----------------------------+
	a project that is too big for \| One of the reasons (not the \|
	me to do in a weekend, but it \| #1, but up there) that \|
	might actually matter to \| I wanted to move to Iceland \|
	people. Do I just go for it and \| was to get away from coding \|
	drop all the other things I've \| for evil (pharma, mostly) \|
	got going? Ugh, probably not, \| and get around to doing \|
	but I need to come up with a \| something for the betterment\|
	real plan if I have any hope of \| of people. I haven't found \|
	accomplishing the goal. \| a lot of opportunity for \|
	\| that just yet, but I'm \|
	But I never said what this is \| getting there. \|
	all about, did I? +-----------------------------+

	So what is it?

	I want to make an easily deployable system that creates a platform
	for publishing text which does so on web, gopher, gemini, and any
	other logical systems, is made available on tor, IPFS, zero-web,
	and so on (RSS, fediverse?, moar). Basically, I want you to be
	able to click "go" and spin up a server that will push your
	text-based content out into the wild on all possible channels at
	maximum volume. (Hence why this phost is called Banshee)

	Why?

	Some people have a hard time getting their voice out from behind
	firewalls, oppressive regimes, and so on. I want to make it easy
	for them to toss something on a raspberry pi, or spin up a virtual
	machine, or SOMETHING, and have a way to be heard.

	How?

	I really don't know. I assume I could look into containers as
	a start. There's a heavy devops part of this that's not my
	wheel-house. Frankly, I think I'll need help.

	I'm going to start up a tildegit org for this, stub out a repo
	with a readme and get some conversations going. I think this could
	really help people with real problems today. Hopefully it won't
	fall off my radar and into the "someday" category.
