I’ve got a Excitio B3<\/a> (personal server) that I use for different computer tasks.
\nIt serves my ownCloud<\/a>, an instance of Ampache<\/a>, a Tor<\/a> bridge, a video\/music\/photos streamer, a anonymous dropbox (FTP) and thinkUp<\/a> – a web app that backs up your social media interactions. I also use it as my router, and as a backup for my photo masters. So far, it’s been a very pleasant experience. I am looking to use it even more! I would like to be able to serve my friends with small and useful web apps.<\/p>\n

With great power, comes great responsibility<\/strong>
\nBecause of this, I won’t try to help with their e-mail, or any other service that requires uptime. After all, the server is run from my living room \ud83d\ude42 and I’m always trying out new stuff on it. So the services need to be quick and dirty, the jack and use kind of apps.<\/p>\n

Why I’m doing this<\/strong>
\nI have this vision\/ideal of direct communication \u00e2\u20ac\u201c without middle hands.
\nThat means no government, no corporations in between.
\nAnd after all: I have both the CPU and bandwidth to do this.
\nBesides the B3, I also have an account with WebFaction that supports both node.js and a few other cool technologies. Might just go ahead and try<\/p>\n
