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?
