Is it technically possible to make a client version of this software? - sh.itjust.works

So I’m looking for a new client, specifically mobile, that’s FOSS, easy to use, allows for browsing communities on other instances easily (not just searching for instances, but actually viewing the list of instances, etc). I’m a dev, so happy to put some legwork into it myself. So my question is - technically, is the UI tied to being run on an instance “directly”, or could it be detached, electron- or atom-ified and put into an app? I can do the work, but before starting I’d like to know :⁠-⁠)

I love this concept and think it really has legs as a fantastic RPG idea… My comment on the original post: It takes the *humanity *out of *alien/foreign/different *races. If done properly, you can easily conceptualise different views of the world. Something like the sort of thing John Scalzi has done with his works - let’s work through how a different viewpoint actually works and then work out where the jagged edges are - all of a sudden, the different races are fighting with each other because they see the world diferently and don’t communicate properly so they assume all of the others think the same way (because they can’t concieve of anythign else without looking that far into it) and boom you’ve got a realistic world with in-built fracture lines…

Self-hosted CM4 NAS - I have questions; sources, ideas and answers appreciated

Self-hosted CM4 NAS - I have questions; sources, ideas and answers appreciated - sh.itjust.works

So I’m looking to build my own CM4-based NAS appliance. I figure that I’ve got the time to build it, and it’ll be cheaper, more powerful and more capable than an off-the-shelf appliance (such as a QNAP or Synology device). I’m looking to use it for self-hosting, probably 2 - 4 SSD’s to run it (Happy to spend the money on the drives, as I can spread that out over time)… will likely start with a relatively cheap 2tib 2.5" SSD like the Crucial BX500 and scale up as I go… I’d like a relatively neat box - something like the Argon EON. I’d like to use the CM4 because it’s got the PCI-E so you can use a relatively full-speed ACPI interface to the SATA ports, which rules out the Argon EON (Except, possibly, as a donor case). I don’t have a 3D Printer, but I’d be happy to purchase a printed model from a makers group or similar. I’m happy to actually build up a unit (setting up fans, etc.) but I’ve no soldering experience whatsoever. Software-wise, I’ve already got a RPI4 which I’ve been playing around with… Seems pretty good, and I had pi-hole running on it for a while (until SD card unreliability took it down). Does anyone have any experience with a build like this? Any advice on what cases to use, what hats for the PCIE-to-SATA work best? Anything at all, really, that you’d advise?
