Why? They are built for datacenter environment, with the right drives for high density storage they should be just as fine as in a regular server.

could try finding a cheap jbod

I think more the randomness aspect of it, comments people requesting accesses, accounts being created all around, etc…

Check you ISP connections limits, remember that uploading from an external device will be downloaded by your home router and vice versa.

A shitshow! /s

Unfortunately, there’s a majority of people posting without exhausting their research so unless you mention in your post what you have done, anyone else can’t assume anything at the risk of providing unhelpful info. “Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.”

Or it could just require you to set up your login on your instance in the settings and then work as a regular share button

Could probably be used as a good random number generator, by using the state of the network at any given time, similarly to how cloudflare uses a wall of lavalamps to generate random numbers since the system is quite chaotic and unpredictable.

Entropy can in a very simplistic way be described as chaos/randomness. It come from physics and the flow of energy but has usefulness in other fields as well.

IRC was fun, then people chose corporate poisoned simplicity (AOL, MSN) and that spelt the doom for protocols, until now.
