A Digital Ecosystem That Serves a Healthier Future

Leaving behind surveillance capitalism with
open-source software, and privately owned cloud infrastructure

A Digital Ecosystem That Serves a Healthier Future

The digital systems we depend on were never built for the greater good—they extract, they surveil, and they erode autonomy and cultural diversity. But a different culture is already taking root: one of transparent tools, privacy by default, and open code shaped by those who use it. This quiet cultural shift is already unfolding, stewarding our digital spaces with the same care we give our communities and ecosystems. Whether you’re an individual unwilling to be farmed for data, or a small group with a shared vision of a healthier future, a new space is opening here. The invitation is to co-create a digital ecosystem that genuinely serves the greater good—where infrastructure belongs to the people who use it, and culture grows from autonomy, dignity, and collective care.

Infrastructure for a healthy digital ecosystem

These aren’t packaged products; they’re open-source building blocks of a solution, chosen because they align with privacy, collective ownership, and real human need. Together, they form a digital ecosystem we can rely on—for the daily work that matters, for conversations that stay ours, and for a digital life rooted in autonomy, dignity, and care rather than extraction and control.

This combination of open source software offers the following basic features: online file storage and file sharing, collaborative document editing (word, spread sheet, presentation), contacts database, personal and shared calendars, private messaging and video conference calls, private email account, and many more that can be plugged into NextCloud based on needs. Think of them as privacy-respecting alternatives to Google, Microsoft, Amazon, DropBox and Zoom services.

An open-source reliable foundation

A well‑maintained Linux server running on physical hardware owned by the community—not rented from Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, or Google. This is what makes true ownership possible, breaking the dependency on extractive data centres.

A private, collaborative workspace

Secure file storage, shared calendars, contacts, and collaborative documents—all through NextCloud. Our work sits at the centre, never an advertising model, with no surveillance and no lock‑in.

Independent, reliable, & fully private

Our files, held on community‑owned hardware and accessible from anywhere—without ever passing through corporate clouds. Reliable storage that keeps our data exactly where it belongs: in our hands.

A private, well‑integrated email system

A dedicated email server where conversations remain ours alone, free from corporate data mining. No scanning, no profiling—just an inbox that respects the confidentiality our work and life deserve.

This infrastructure is expandable to host

Web Sites

Website creation & hosting

A public or internal web presence on infrastructure that respects privacy and refuses to extract visitor data. No trackers, no third‑party scripts—just a space that reflects the values we live by.

Open Source Culture

Rooted in decades of shared knowledge, tested by millions who depend on it daily

A culture of openness, collaboration, and quiet generosity—where trust, the freedom to build what we love, and a sense of belonging to the commons shape the tools we rely on. Linux is living proof: a global community of contributors built a rock‑solid foundation that now quietly powers the internet, not for profit but because it matters. That’s the spirit we’re choosing to grow with.

A Shared Investment, A Shared Responsibility

Bringing our own infrastructure to life requires a financial commitment from those who gather around it—an initial setup cost and a modest monthly contribution to keep the servers well‑maintained and evolving. The exact number depends on what we build together: the services we choose, how many of us there are, and how much storage we need. To give a rough sense, a server supporting 40 people might start around €20 per month in total, and as more of us join, the contribution per person can become even lighter—potentially well below €10 each. The setup cost is explored openly, shaped by the details of our shared vision.

Beyond the financial piece, this is also an invitation to shape how the ecosystem is governed. From setting collective policies and handling day‑to‑day administration to stewarding the spirit of the project over time, every pair of hands that wants to carry some care is welcome. We’re not renting a product; we’re tending something together.

Where to begin?

The best place to begin is a conversation. Getting to know each other…

Kamyar built our charity a very beautiful and very effective website. He had been personally recommended by the chair of our board of directors and he did not disappoint! Kamyar is a profoundly thoughtful and compassionate person, and these qualities come through in his graceful service. I cannot recommend Kamyar highly enough.

Kamyar stands out amongst the website developers I have worked with. I could tell he would be an ideal long term partner for my website needs with his very calm, grounded, demeanor and his ability to explain complex technical subject matter in a simple, plainspoken, way. He quickly understood my vision and was able to add to it with great suggestions on improving my UX, SEO, and overall digital marketing. I found him to be completely reliable throughout the web development process. He promptly answered questions, addressed issues with my site, and delivered the site on schedule. His process is entirely transparent and I always had a clear sense of his progress. I highly recommend Kamyar, and look forward to working with him again soon on other projects.

We are very happy to have met Kamyar, first as a friend then as a partner to design our website. He was very patient and helpful, since we knew roughly what we wanted, but haven't decided yet on the subtile details. He approached us as a coach, making us contemplate about our goals, target group and personal style. Kamyar is not only present during the development phase but also in the after sales service, always looking for the greater good of his customers. We are delighted to have a well-designed website with an easy to use content management system.

It’s been a privilege to work on my website with Kamyar- he is really present, listens so well and i felt he got me and what i needed so easily! He is very creative, his aesthetic sense and perspective was what brought my website to life. As a psychotherapist, my website is often how my clients first make contact with me and i have been getting such great comments on my website and my work has really flourished due to the website reflecting my soul and my work so accurately. I highly recommend working with Kamyar if you are looking for your inner potential to come alive and show itself…

Kamyar's amazing gift of being an attentive listener made everything much easier during the contruction of the website. Not only is he talented and experienced in technical matters but also he really gets what you want. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I am in love with my Orca Dreams website. I love the clean, simple and aesthetic design that meets functionality. Everyone who visited my website stated its beauty, its clarity and the way it gave them calm and peace, which is fully in line with my work on holistic health and mindfulness. It was a joy working with Kamyar. From the beginning to the end, he listened deeply to my work concept, my ideas, wishes and dreams. He helped me to become clearer in the organization and presentation of my ideas and my work. Kamyar took time with each detail, and made room for custom tailored functions as needed. I also appreciate him teaching his customers on how to use the website, giving training and support during the process and having options for follow-up support.

"Kamyar offered his wisdom of listening and his practical up-to-date knowledge of website development into the conversations as the process was unfolding. At a practical level, he delivered solutions that maintain the balance between design/art and information. He also infused the process with creative suggestions on design improvements in relation to user needs. His technical knowledge combined with his acute intuitive perceptive senses resulted in a practical special online platform, a website that is easy to update and expand."

Upgrade of my website with Kamyar was easily and I’m pleasantly surprised. My website is now more clear and first of all I have now a better overview. I enjoyed the cooperation and learned a lot of things. Thank you Kamyar for your professional support.
