Fediverse Observer says it knows of 200 Owncast servers on the #Fediverse. While not every #Owncast server takes part in the Fediverse, that's pretty cool that many people decided to enable it, since that feature is off by default. https://owncast.fediverse.observer/list

@joshuatopolsky It’s not just links to Mastodon. It happened to me just using the word mastodon in another context. My link was actually to a story about mastodon DNA being sequenced at the MIT Technology Review

What's the easiest way to set up a simulated network with ISP-style NAT? Preferably without buying dedicated hardware for the purpose, and preferably reproducible for other developers.
Usecase: I am developing a P2P system, and need a reasonably representative environment to test my software in, and how well it deals with shitty residential networking configurations.
I'm a developer, not a network engineer, so my knowledge of networks is limited to a developer perspective and I don't have the spoons to learn it in-depth.
Boosts appreciated 
cute pet posting

@forestjohnson My weird rationale for chosing EOL'd ChromeOS devices is that Google publishes when they get EOL'd so I can just check that calendar against whatever devices are best supported by the custom firmware (seabios/coreboot) builds and get a consistent supply of devices that are otherwise destined to become unsupported e-waste.
I set up this thin client computer in my fathers basement today. It cost $35 used on ebay, is fanless at 10W TDP, and has 8GB of RAM.
Seems like a fine time to repost this, instead of purchasing a new SBC consider upcycling an old thin-client instead! You get more GB of RAM per $ that way anyways and some great fanless options exist on ebay for less than $50. I'd link to the article I wrote about this but my home server is down right now and I'm traveling.
