Hey selfhosted fam, we are looking for those interested in helping host a distributed, Tahoe-LAFS file share for at least 6 months. Looking for at least 5 more people, but there is no limit on the number of nodes you can add. Our loose plan is everyone (8 people minimum) will put a small data share of around 32gb, which we will distribute amongst the volunteers. Tahoe is designed to not require trust, so that is by design.
Inspired by conversations at Linuxfest Northwest this last weekend. If interested, please do follow up. The main goal is simply to put something online for the next 6 months, which will survive the inevitable people dropping off or being replaced, even after the experiment concludes. Cheers either way for considering! Here is a simple form or you can join our Matrix chat. We are half way there on volunteers, but more are always welcome! Will be discussed on next episode of Linux Prepper podcast.
