Screw M.2, I want to use my enterprise grade 7TB U.2 Kioxia drive in my 50 bucks Chinese phone, I just can’t live without it!

I use it for multiroom audio with Spotify. Main node is a random low power x86 box which doubles as my torrent server, and the only one client is an old atom netbook with 1gb ram, both hooked up to speakers. The flat is quite small so it’s more than sufficient, I just wanted more even loudness distribution.

I have some stability issues with it, but to be honest it might be the hardware’s fault too. I’d love to build a uniform set of all-in-one nodes with raspberry pis/batteries/speakers tho.

I can explain Budapest - we hate our government with a burning passion, and the government hates the city.

Ok, so in the beginning there was a bunch of giant space frogs…

That’s kind of the point tho, nobody has the time to bear the responsibility alone while living a life. Would it be feasible to set up a team? Similar to mods, a group of maintainers could share the burden. I’m not trying to dump this directly on you personally, just entertaining the idea.

A “selfhosted” community server would be an incredibly cool thing to accomplish in my opinion. There are lots of knowledgeable folks here with years/decades of experience in hosting, it would be awesome if a group of them created an instance, collaboratively, so they could support eachother. It would provide a peace of mind for others that a bunch of competent minds are guarding their accounts, communities and user data.

I thought about spinning up an instance myself when I decided to join the fediverse, but I know my uptime and there is just isn’t enough time in my life right now to properly, securely and reliably manage a public facing service.
