General

To make this project work, I'll gradually enhance my networking skills and invest in serious infrastructure to eventually create an unfuckwithable home-lab setup for running my entire platform.

✅ Launch temporary server ($130)
    ✅ 8TB of storage ($290)
🚧 Upgrade server hardware
    🚧 Backup power
    🚧 Network switch
    🚧 Redundant low-speed connection
🚧 Increase storage capacity
    🚧 At least 4 8TB drives to start
    🚧 Find suitable RAID configs
✅ High a decent router with OpenWrt ($150)
🚧 Dedicate Jellyfin to its own machine
🚧 OPNsense firewall
✅ Email host with STMP ($14/mo)

Social Media

The goal is to become censorship-proof by replacing Twitter, YouTube, Discord, and Patreon with Mastodon, PeerTube, Matrix, and LiberaPay, while designing a custom website, and expanding to platforms like Pixelfed.

✅ Launch Mastodon server ($10)

🚧 Launch PeerTube server
    🚧 Migrate worthwhile YouTube content
🚧 Launch Pixelfed server
🚧 Launch Matrix server
    • I don't like Matrix; I'd use Revolt if it were nixified.
🚧 Launch WriteFreely server
    🚧 Migrate and update current blog content

Website

The new website will act as a hub linking all my Fediverse platforms, providing integrated feeds and access to blog, microblog, video, and picture content, and will include a front-end for navigating my Obsidian vault.

🚧 Learn Elm well enough to make a site
🚧 Integrate feeds from Fediverse
🚧 Integrate Obsidian vault
🚧 SMTP to automate/redirect emails
    • Proton has good options for this

Sponsorship

I want to aggregate sponsorship to a single platform; LiberaPay. This is a free and open source alternative to Patreon that is non-profit and collects no fees from creators. I want all my content to be free and supported 100% through community pledges.

✅ Launch LiberaPay ($0)

✅ Launch Cardano wallet for crypto nerds ($5)
