I run a jellyfin server and give access to about 10 friends. I just kicked everyone out and the new rule is, that I will only stream to linux devices.
So there will be a few streaming boxes at friends places and I thought this could be a nice opportunity.
**Some ideas I've had: **
- distributed backups
- botnet (I always thought about playing around with a smal botnet on socials to do some fun experiment)
If anybody has cool ideas, please share : )
Edit: Everything runs on tailscale

Are you friends okay with you doing that? I would not be, especially if my so-called friend didn't disclose the secondary operations of the device that's in my home, on my internet connection, under my name.

yeah, they'd be fine - that I'd be using the computer as a small server on the side would be their "entry price", so to speak.

Then you really should list all of the secondary functions you plan to add to it, make sure they understand what those are, and agree to each of them: full disclosure.
If you do something on it that could get them in trouble, it's their ass on the line, not yours.

Sometimes I wish I were like OP, being creatively greedy to snitch lots of money. Then I realize, that requires money and influence to work out.. Life.

Don't punish what's wrong. Reward what's right.

Tor bridge/snowflake, i2pd, syncthing relay, ipfs, pihole, wireguard...

I've got most of that running on my 2 servers anyways - was more looking for something where I benefit from having a lot of computers at peoples houses.

anything 'worthwhile' is probably gonna use a lot of power, burn through bandwidth, or not exactly completely legit and legal.
