  • Haven’t really tinkered with anything similar to be honest, but it should be doable. Figure out your software stack, find the lowest power consuming platform you can afford with enough performance to meet your needs, then power it with whatever green energy you can get. There are many commercial solutions for solar+battery combination.

    My approach would be a raspberry pi, a power bank and a usb solar panel, I’m curious what kind of experience it would provide.






  • 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.




  • Anarchychess is a glorious cesspool of scum and villainy, parroting the same jokes over and over in slightly different iterations until a new response drops and takes it over entirety. Googling en passant is just the tip of the iceberg. But holy hell, do I love the community. It might appear as an army of actual zombies, but I promise there is no need to call an exorcist, beneath the pure knightmare fuel we are just a giddy bunch.





  • 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.
