Dear fellow Kekistanis. We have suffered long under the foot of the cloud. Not a day goes by without a fellow Kekistani tormented by ads, algorithmic feeds, the slow enshitification of every platform we trusted. Our data rented, our attention sold. We were told to accept it—that convenience required surrender, that the cloud was inevitable. They closed in on the personal computer and made the phone the only screen that mattered. We watched the world connect and then get captured. The dark forces are not coming; they are here.
It does not have to be this way. The turning point has already happened: what used to require an entire data center now runs on a device smaller than your router. We have built a machine that goes out, gets you what you consider your internet, and brings it back. It serves you locally and over VPN. You never leave your network. Your media, files, passwords, code, music, photos—on infrastructure you own, behind a firewall and DNS you control. No subscriptions. Radical ownership.
This is the sovereignty machine. Self-replicating. We can put it on every continent with a backup of human knowledge; when the next Carrington event comes, the system survives. We can daisy-chain and destroy the control system by self-replication. They have the capital and the lobbyists; we have the topology. We are a valid business—flash computers, fair rate, you own the stack, we retain zero control. Sober up. The future of our civilization depends on having a place to stand that we own. Build what they cannot touch. Put it in enough hands.
Frens, arm yourselves with something real. Get one. Own your stack. When they turn out the lights, the sovereignty machine will still be running. OP cannot be stopped.

This is the thing. We didn’t just describe a concept—we built it. A real, infinitely self-replicating machine. The unit you get runs a full stack: firewall, DNS, DHCP, VPN, and 10+ services (Jellyfin, Navidrome, Piwigo, Vaultwarden, Gogs, FileBrowser, Calibre Web, Yarr, Transmission, MkDocs, and more). It goes out onto the internet, fetches what you need, and serves it to you locally and over VPN. You never leave your network. Your data stays on hardware you own. The system backs itself up and can carry itself in perpetuity; we can put the same stack on every continent so when the next Carrington event hits, the system survives. It’s not vapor. It’s not a plan. It’s a real infinitely self-replicating home server, and we ship it. arpaservers.com

I know this is much to take in at once, but the promised land is upon us. The scope and scale of this reveal is ridiculous—we get it. A self-replicating sovereignty machine, a library on every continent, a way out of the cloud that’s already built and shipping. It sounds like a bit. It isn’t. It’s here, and it’s ready for the people to know.

THEN I WILL BE CRINGE. Help me help you. We're working on, so each machine contains the tooling to make infinite homeservers. with a deadman switch or lottery you could posses the exact code to make your own infinite home servers

Sure — here's a /g/-flavored reply to that post:
>sovereignty machine
>self-replicating
>destroy the control system
so it's a raspberry pi with docker containers and a vpn. got it.
look anon i'm not saying self-hosting is bad. i run my own stuff. but every six months some guy posts a manifesto about how his $200 ARM box is going to topple AWS and save civilization, and then you check back in three months and he's mass-replying on reddit asking why his jellyfin transcode is stuttering.
>no subscriptions
until something breaks and you realize you ARE the subscription. you're the sysadmin, the backup engineer, and the on-call rotation. hope your family likes it when the photo server goes down on christmas because you decided to update your containers at 11pm on the 24th.
>when the next carrington event comes, the system survives
your ups has maybe 20 minutes of runtime and your isp's fiber hub doesn't have a generator but sure, you'll survive a solar storm that fries transformers across the continental grid. totally.
>we have the topology
you have a mass-produced SBC in a plastic case running services some guy on github maintains in his spare time between mass-effect playthroughs.
real talk though: if this is actually open hardware, published BOM, mainline linux support, no phone-home telemetry, and priced at cost-plus-fair-margin, then unironically based and i'd consider one. but if it's a proprietary image on commodity hardware with "sovereignty" branding and a 3x markup then it's just another grift wearing a frog hat.
post the specs or it's vaporware.

How We Choose Parts
We optimize for best bang for buck against one rule: the most power-efficient chip on the market at any given time. We don’t hold a huge backlog of supply, but we do keep stock on hand for platforms that meet that standard, including the one we offer as our mainline SKU.
The HOMESERVER Standard: Performance per Watt
Performance per watt is what we measure by. That is always the HOMESERVER standard. We prioritize efficiency so your infrastructure stays capable without burning power or budget.
The mainline HOMESERVER SKU will always be the best chip for the job: the most power-efficient option on the market at the time we stock it. We adjust our pricing to match what the market says is fair. Right now that is the Intel N100, capable of easily servicing the standard fleet of services native to our homeserver platform; our software and documentation are structured around that baseline. When a better chip for the job exists, we move to it.
. .
What to Expect
Due to parts shortages and supply conditions, units may appear differently than pictured. Specs and capability stay consistent; enclosures, branding, or cosmetic details may vary by batch. We don’t lock to a single OEM. We lock to the standard: quality, efficiency, and tested before it ships.
What’s Typically in the Box
Fan-cooled Intel N100 mini-PC (4-core 3.4GHz, at least 8GB DDR4 RAM, at least 256GB SSD (SATA, M.2, or NVMe, possibly higher), dual 1Gb/s NIC). Thermal- and endurance-tested before shipping. Actual specs may be higher depending on availability; we never downgrade a unit if supply exceeds our minimums.
Preconfigured external USB NAS drive
User manual
Ethernet cable
Need More Than We Stock?
That mainline SKU (preselected, efficiency-optimized, tested) is the core offer. We have everything chosen for you so you don’t have to.

todo list is finish the deploy tech; presently i erase the headers. where as i want to migrate to a system where every unit has encrypted the tools to print infinite units. and my dead man switch is the release of that password to open that partition for everyone.
i have a test machine i should finish the part label update transition on, you can see via my branch history. . , and then it's time to upgrade everything to debian 13. i will remotely update all 12's to 13 via our update system
https://github.com/homeserversltd/updates
i will be generating a new generic kernel update module that i will rigorously test in house before deploying to master
should be able to werk on 13-14 with minor tweaks as necessary too when that time comes
you can turn off or fork and manage on your own update modules. any subsystem - every update module you can individually turn on or off to be apart of YOUR update suite

That's fine and everythig but I just got my fouth raid array on my offline lan up and running. The whole point is it is offline so no worries with regards to security at at,or older unspoorted operating systems in fact everything logs in as admin with no password. Everything just works. I have XP machines with 50+ multiplayer LAN games, Windows media centre, xbox 360s on LAN multiplayer, Windows 7 machines with 50+ games on LAN multiplayer, wikipedia and the guttenbery library and all the oeprating systems, games patches, drivers, disk images, all the software, oprogramming languages, libraries, porn, over 15000 MP3s, over 3000 movies and TV series, a thousand PS2 and Xbox 260 games, Mame and thousands of games as well as tens of thousands of 8 bit games and emulators, SUSE, PS2s, 500+ xbox 360 games, 250 Ps2, 100+ PS1, Windows 7 setup with everything and imaged with more multiplayer games and productivity tools, gigabt switches and routers, Windows 10 machines fully setup and imaged, over 25000 images, tens of thousand of PDFs, manuals, complete documentation for coding, dev envoments, sdks, thousands of saved 4chan threads, entire websites stored even have a network printer scanner, surround sound windows media extenders server 2008R2 with more VMs and local DNS and IIS and SQL, drone development kits, thousands of the best of youtube, over ten thousand other webms and mp4s, music software, coding software, video and image diting software, office suites etc etc
What do you offer me except risk? As soon as you are connected you are at risk. Offline LAN means offline.

so let's pretend all of cloudflare gets fried. you could have a home server once the power gets turned back on. OR YOU COULD HAVE FUCKING NOTHING

Look ublock origin is a band aid on the rotting corpse of the intenet and personal computing. the only logical course of action is to create your own internet on an offline LAN using software and systems designed for offline use

so what do you use as the bridge to host your content? with my system. you can put all of your files in the correctly associated folders. and they will populate across the portals available to it. serving you your own content with open source self hosted cloud alternatives. you can learn to install all of these services, samba, and more, or you can put this unit at the head of your network. plug in your raid. hit the setup nas button , drag and drop your files where they go. and suddenly you have full offline cloud suite without having to manage an entire data center

Because it's offline I don;t have to give a shit about security so I can use SMB and DFS and stuff line windows media centre, which stuff like xbox360s can just connect to as extenders, although I have two extenders I picked up for nothing as well. The machines are all on active directory and because no security is necessary they all just log on as admin. The SUSE box works fine on SMB. The core design elements are dicated
1)Must be offline
2)From 1 must use NOTHING that requires an internet connection or online activation or authentication
3)Must provide the boardest possible range of media and data and software (thus the eras of machines and operating systems)
4)Must be resilent, recoverable and repairable.
What I have works. I'm only listing a fraction of what is on it. Stripping out aguements over what operating system the core is always goi9ng to be your storage systems, so for me network attached raid boxes that mirror each other as well as having spare drives, as well as clinet machines that have their 'good' disk image with the right drivers and utilities etc installed. So without getting into the software this is what you need
a)Lots of fucking disks that match in firmware
b)Raid chassis and controllers (my raid boxes are linux based single board machines with four or six disks)
c)PCs
d)Managed Switches (I have a router doing DHCP but that's optional really)
d)All the bios's firmware, drivers, maintence utilities etc for everything from drives through to switches and GPUs
e)For more modern OSs, SSDs and spares
f)Monitors and mice and keyboards and surge protected power strips
g)For the RAIDs, UPS
h)You might want to throw some games consoles, CCTV, printers or whatever on there too
That's what you actually need. I try and have pairs of clients, like to XP machiens, two win 7 machines, two win10 machines two SUSE machines, two 260s, two PS2s, two matching swiches with spare capacity etc
I have a lot of stuff from Kiwix, all of it I think.

I don;t really care about prepping and all that shit although I do have one achive with books on everything from carpentry to beekeeping and weldingwhich is PDF books some prepper nut put together which is pretty cool but its basically a folder structure populated with tends of thousands of books, I must have well over 150,000 books of all sorts from fantasy and science fiction through to the complete guttenberg library, all of wikipedia, all of the britannica encyclopedia all of the catholic encylopedia, medline and the stackexchanges.
I make sure that the metadata for stuff like music is on it before it was added.

Samefag, anyhow I'm getting pretty happy with it now, I know it's getting there because I spend more time on it than the machine that I have that still has an internet connection naturally without thinking about it. I'm not doing this for some doomsday prepping shit, I'm doing it because the direction the intenet and personal computing is taking hardmode is towards cloud and cloud connected portal devices, subsciptions, insecurity and unprivacy. I don't want to have to log into anything to run a game or watch a movie or code or listen to music or whatever. I've no interest in paying for remote storage, remote CPU, software as a service, digital purchases or any of that shit. THis shit has been ongoing for a decade now and it's inn endgame. I like my personal computers and want to use them my way. The writings been on the wall sinnce megaupload died and stem keys came into being. Shit like Azure and AWS and google drive and dropbox is all cancer as far as I'm concerned same for amazon prime, netflix, youtube music, spotify etc etc.
Thus if it does not work offline I just don't care about it.
