Razzia, formerly Rahoot. Self hostable.

Well, I mean, there is a lack of privacy. That’s kind of how the platform exists architecturally. I just don’t find that to be a problem, per se. It’s a social platform, which makes sense to me for everything on the protocol to be “open” to one degree or another. Not everything has to be securitymaxxed.

You are on the right path. Most stuff people self host requires very little horsepower. Most of your CPU will be idle in the end. Things might get expensive if you want to add a lot of storage, but the good news is that can be added later as you need it. I think you’ll be surprised just how much a modern-ish laptop can host.

• 4 Dell T 7810s
• 4 hard drive cages (14 drives)
• Amcrest NVR
• TV Antenna
• 2 Ubiquiti WiFi APs
• Buttload of switches around the house
• Protectli Vault mini-pc running pfsense for my router
• ProxMox cluster with about 30 virtual machines running everything

I love the Dells I use. They’re wonderful little workhorses, and I got a pretty good deal as they used to mine chia cryptocurrency.

Not my thing, but none of my business.

I’m fully in favor of using the power of the state to regulate AI data centers so that they’re not exploitative to local resource limitations. I’m fully in favor of rewriting copyright law from the ground up for the modern era, to the extent that I think copyright should exist at all. I’m in favor of researching model-human interactions and assessing well-being of users and coming up with some forms of agency-respecting safeguards. I’m more than fully in favor of reigning in billionaire corporations whose only motive is profit and taxing the ever-loving shit out of them.

What I’m not in favor of us restricting the technology as a whole or acting like its use or even its very existence is a moral failure. I’m not in favor of stripping agency from adults because you think you know what’s best for them.
