So through circumstance, I have inherited control of a full server rack of Dell PowerEdge 2950s, with QNAP backups, switches, a KVM and dedicated business-class Internet. It's going to be sitting idle for the next 6 months, and I can do whatever I want with it.
My original plan was to do secure, encrypted communications and file storage for local political groups, but that fell through because none of them wanted to stop using Facebook Messenger. I wish was kidding.
So now that I'm done tying to do good, what else can I do with this? Looking for ideas, because this is too good to waste.
backup eroshare since its going down
rent me a cheap VPS

Is there somewhere a thread with those glowing desktops anime gifs going on, or why am I seeing them more often lately?

I think you're just noticing them more now because you're looking for them.

what political groups?

A couple student action committees an acquaintance at the college in our town runs. /po/ likely wouldn't approve, but they're running on university Internet and resources, which is just not safe.
I don't really have any experience or contacts in activism or anything, so I was planning on using them as a starting point to get other groups on board. I was trying to be a-political; privacy is a universal right that I wanted to help guarentee even if they were a bit over the top liberal.
They changed their minds though, an I haven't had any luck finding anybody else. I can't really give them a reason to trust me with their data. I was counting on the introductions from the established group to do that.

but i understand that feeling you have, should be a universal thing. but hey, some people will never get that.

Agreed, I can't even give mine away for free. They are damn space heaters too.
