Looking for Creative Uses for Jellyfin Streaming Clients running Debian at Friends' Houses

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

  • You know how people don't like paying for streaming services because they have enshittified and grown more expensive?

    Yeah, you're just doing that for your own self hosted service.
