Hey all,
I've revisited this idea, and I still like it and will push forward with it. Starting with a single linode [Debian, 512MB, 20GB] instance then seeing where we need to go from there.
The rules may change in future but as a starting point:
0. Applicable sections of the Linode TOS must be followed 1. Users will not intentionally disrupt the services of other users
The privacy policy is as a starting point:
0. There isn't much privacy in this system, but I'll try to act in good faith 1. As local root exploits are frequent, don't assume the server to be trustworthy 2. Network information (most likely destination ip:port pairings and tx/rx), process listings [ps -ef and simliar] and disk usage may be observed to understand how users are using the service and to identify resource usage
The service is provided as is, it may break at times. Depending on the users action it may even stop. It's not my intent nor desire that people use it as a means to circumvent bans or other do nefarious things. Nor is it an anonymizing service. The rules and any policies may change as time goes by.
Email me with requested packages and services and I'll endeavor to set them up or provide you with the means to do so.
Sign-up is as follows:
Email me a public key, and I'll encrypt and email you@fsfe.org address login details.
Sound reasonable? Any suggestions? I'm happy to consider anything. The privacy policy sucks, but if you're after secrecy that's what tor/gnunet/freenet are for.
There is no nice domain name, I was thinking of registering fsfesh.net, or if a fsfe.org domain admin feels like it sh.fsfe.org would be nice (:
Regards,

Even a continuous build server would be nice, one that only compiles checked in versions.

I would appreciate any hosting for compilng free software projects. Currently I am working on some refactoring of binutils, and the compile times are killing my small computer. mike

Hey all,
Thanks for the replies. One off list reply pointed out the potential legal issues involved, while I'd like to think each user was responsible for their own use it may come down to the server owner being responsible for their use. Or, at least, being the first visiting point for raids.
The time and money investment don't phase me, but the potential legal hassle/risk does :(

Hello Roscoe,

Sound like a good idea? Crap idea? Suggestions?
I discussed this idea with others. Like me, most people liked the idea very much to have such a service for Fellows. The problem is, that at the moment we do not have _any_ spare sysadmin time to integrate this or to help anything for that. There are too many urgent things which are critical for our infrastructure which needs a lot of work at the moment.
Of course that does not prevent you to set up such a service and provide Fellows access there, but unfortunately our admins cannot help with any tasks (like account management, etc.).
Regards, Matthias
