This is my Friendica server. Left to right, the boxes are: Power over Ethernet splitter, Raspberry Pi 4b (2 gig) in official case, 256 gig SATA SSD in a USB3 to SATA enclosure.
That’s it. That’s what this post you’re reading federated from.
I always thought servers were great big machines. Eye opening information. So does the 'black box' send info to a satellite or something? Or connect to other servers? No need to answer as I probably wouldn't understand anyway. But it is fascinating to see. Shame the cute little thing has died. Transplant required? Heart or kidney?
Love it. This feels more like how the internet should be, lots of fun little servers everywhere. The name "cloud" is ironic really since it means a whole lot of centralisation, just with redundancy. The real cloud would be everyone having a little server next to their router at home!
So a fun little update. The SSD in the picture was a cheap piece of junk, no faster than an SD card. It failed at about half past ten last night. @Zoe O'Connell was able to recover the data and we’re back in business, but lesson learned: do not buy no-name Chinese SSDs.
