     @evan I would be nervous about any fediverse project pushed by an infrastructure company that only runs on their infrastructure :X

     @cybertailor why would CloudFlare want to extinguish ActivityPub?

     @evan no, this is just shamelesd EEE. Support independent non-corporate projects like @mastohost instead!

     @hybridhavoc @vmstan @anildash

     Raspberry Pi doesn't allow commercial redistribution but there are other platforms, like BeagleBone, that do.

     Ideally it'd have dyndns and letsencrypt included, and could use upnp to ask the router to send ports 80 and 443 to it.

     You'd need to request the hostname at purchase time. It could be configured by the vendor and shipped to you. It could even be printed on the case! https://yourname.fedi-at-home.example/

     I think it's a cool option.

     @vmstan
     @anildash @evan
     Still hoping someone puts together some kind of Mastodon-in-a-box product, something similar to a router like a pre-installed configurable raspberry pi that someone could buy, hook into their home network, visit the local IP and they're off.

     Obviously privacy and security concerns there though.

     @anildash @evan it’s just another option, but yeah it’s already a little concerning how much runs behind Cloudflare already. Ultimately it needs to be easy to have Mastodon (or compatible platforms) anywhere and everywhere.

     @evan I’ve been really excited about new servers like Takahe, but I’m not sure why I want one that only runs on one company’s infrastructure

     @cybertailor how does extinguishing ActivityPub get them more control of the Web?

     @evan this corporation already controls 40% of the web. They want more
