## About Us
### Who we are
### Who We Are
Dunia Yetu, which means "Our World" in Swahili, is not just a name; it's a powerful symbol of collective empowerment and a vision of a digital future where Tanzanians are in control of their own destiny. It embodies unity, autonomy, and a commitment to digital sovereignty. As a people-powered movement, Dunia Yetu aims to redefine Tanzania's digital ecosystem, emphasising collective ownership and a self-reliant digital future shaped by the community.
Envision a future where Tanzanians create and oversee their digital experiences, tailored to the nation’s unique needs. Through Dunia Yetu, this vision becomes reality.
### Our Mission
Our mission is to unite a community, enhancing Tanzanian autonomy and independence. Empowering citizens to collectively shape Tanzania's future starts with regaining control of the nation’s Internet infrastructure and establishing a self-reliant digital ecosystem. In the next two years, we aim to empower thousands of coders with an innovative network and toolkit. Beyond technology, our initiative signifies more—an independent digital ecosystem proudly owned and managed by East Africans.
The Internet was meant to be a peer-to-peer infrastructure where we are at the centre of our data and digital lives. Inspired by the past, we’re building an Internet how “the” Internet was originally intended.

### How to earn TFT
### How to Earn TFT
Farmers earn TFT according to the amount of Internet capacity their Nodes connect to the ThreeFold Grid. The Internet capacity is verified by the ThreeFold Blockchain on an ongoing basis using the “Proof-of-Capacity” algorithm. Learn more [here](https://manual.grid.tf/threefold_token/threefold_token.html).

# Do current clouds resolve your problems?
# Do Current Clouds Resolve Your Problems?
This page describe some of the issues you might encounter if your use clouds to fullfil your requirements for your solution.
## high CDN cost = Content Delivery
## High CDN Cost = Content Delivery
- CDN's cost between 20 and 60 on major CDN's from Amazon, Google, ..., after negotiation and willingness to park lots of money and commit per month it mught be certain discount.
- Other specialized CDN's can be around 10 per TB if services from e.g. Europe or US, smaller CDN's are much more expensive.
- Managing these CDN's is expensive and not easy job.
- Managing these CDN's is expensive and not an easy job.
>> this means to service 10m people it would cost about 1 to 2m USD per month just for CDN alone.
>> This means to service 10m people, it would cost about 1 to 2m USD per month just for CDN alone.
## High cost of operations
## High Cost of Operations
- cloud servers
- managing those servers, what if mistakes are made
There are high cost of operations attributed to this type of technology.
## Ability to be shut down on the public cloud
- Cloud servers
- Managing those servers
- What if mistakes are made
- its highly probable that within months there would be attempts to shut down the CDN's or often it happens more softly (give bad service and make your product look bad).
## Ability to Shut Down Servers
## apps typically not ready to scale
There is always the possibility to be shut down on the public cloud
- ...
- there are optimizations which can be done e.g. better indexing, better queries, more optimization strategies e.g. using redis
- more knowledge is required to optimize the app
It's highly probable that within months there would be attempts to shut down the CDN's or often it happens more softly (give bad service and make your product look bad).
## Ability to shutdown the mobile apps
## Can't Scale Apps
- google/apple might chose to shutdown apps
- not easy to know how fast this will go, it might just be overnight
Apps are typically not ready to scale.

## GDPR
- are very annoying constraints in e.g. Europe, need to be careful to comply
The GDPR constraints are to be taken into account. They are very annoying constraints in e.g. Europe, need to be careful to comply.
## Legal potential trouble
## Legal Potential Trouble
- its important to have good terms & conditions and think which legal entity will be the counterpart of the T&C
- there will be legal requirements like how to shutdown / recognize bad content
- It's important to have good *Terms & Conditions* (T&C) and think which legal entity will be the counterpart of the T&C
- There will be legal requirements, e.g. shutdown and/or recognize bad content
## Redundancy / Uptime
## Redundancy and Uptime
- is the site redundant, can data be lost?
- what happens if a datacenter goes down?
- or what happens if a DB server crashes?
- what happens if e.g. DB gets corrupted?
- how to make sure people always deserve the service they need
- if it kind of works now, will it work if 10x more people?
- is everything monitored?
- if an issue is detected are there people available 24h/day 7/7 to fix
- do the people who will fix have the right knowledge, where is that knowledge stored
- is the monitoring system itself monitored, very often monitoring by itself will stop working
There are a factor of parameters that need to be taken into account to provide a reliable service.
- Is the site redundant, can data be lost?
- What happens if a datacenter goes down?
- Or what happens if a DB server crashes?
- What happens if e.g. DB gets corrupted?
- How to make sure people always deserve the service they need

- Do the people who will fix have the right knowledge, where is that knowledge stored
- Is the monitoring system itself monitored, very often monitoring by itself will stop working
## Performance
- how to see performance is not good enough for customers
- how to make sure we can easily fix it, can be region specific
- how to relocate services?
Performance affect user experience directly and must be dealt with care.
## protect against human error
- mistakes are and will be made this might have huge impact on uptime and if not careful loose data
- truck factor: what happens if someone goes away? can org easily take over and continue
- level of automation & documentation?
- how is version control done
- How to see performance is not good enough for customers
- How to make sure we can easily fix it, can be region specific
- How to relocate services?
## Protect Against Human Error
The system in place must be able to protect against human error. This has to be considered.
- Mistakes are and will be made this might have huge impact on uptime and if not careful loose data
- Truck factor: what happens if someone goes away? Can org easily take over and continue
- Level of automation & documentation?

The problem here is that individual systems are trying to redo things better, however they are using the same base infrastructure. They simply redefine that base towards a relevant issue. Ths cannot lead to optimal systems since solutions are managed around a single functiion. If multiiple people need to use that function it gets very complicated.
One way to go around this has been to use Enterprise Message Bus: Controlling how models talk to each other by pre-defining the messages exchanged. But this does not solve the problem at the root.
