I was wondering if it might be possible to create a P2P backup for FR based on a bunch of these little Pi’s. With some custom software running on them all you would need is a 35.00 Pi plugged into the cable modem/DSL modem of several freepers. Power use is 3 watts or so and an old cell phone charger provides the power. Storage is on a cheap SD card.
Newegg has been selling 32GB SD cards for 18 dollars including shipping. 4GB is enough and those are pretty much throw-away items now.
A network of these things could ensure a P2P system would never go down. I’m an embedded systems guy, wish I knew enough about this type of software to create it myself. Don’t have the time to start from scratch.
