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.

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

It is with great pleasure that I type the obligatory response for the first time in my journey on the fediverse; Holy hell!

May your pipis be bricked and your en passants forced.

How about Hymmel? Himmel stands for heaven in German, hinting at a safe space for the lost souls in these tiring times.

Dropped

My pawns seized the means of capturing and beheaded the complete back row in a revolution, what should I do in this position?

Fetchez la vache!

It's not a real anarchy if we're centralised

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.

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.

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.
