Czech free software's quiet role in running the internet
Original: Neviditelná katedrála Jak český svobodný software potichu řídí světový internet, proč vyrostl z normalizačního nedostatk
A new essay titled 'The Invisible Cathedral' argues that Czech free and open-source software quietly powers much of the world's internet infrastructure, and traces its origins to the shortages of the normalization era in communist Czechoslovakia, when resourceful local developers learned to build their own tools. The piece also examines why many of these creators are now moving toward decentralized online platforms.
Why now: The essay connects rarely discussed Czech technical contributions to current debates about decentralization of the internet.
