What would the hardware for this look like. Is there anything more to it than two Ethernet ports, storage, RAM, and CPU? Anything beyond putting together exist

Anything beyond putting together existing components?
Thank you for responding, I am intrigued by your ideas.
- samstave 5y agoHeh, its funny that you boiled it down as such: Network, storage, memory and compute (GPU is included in compute). Aside from any other mortar you may need which can be available as a service, that is the premise of all that we do with machines. Honestly, its a straightforward concept - and products exist in the enterprise for just this: MDM (Mobile Device Management) -- you can deploy and manage (and monitor and spy on) any provisioned device through your ITMS... There should be a product for homes that provides all that you said - with archive, backup, MDM, blogs, calendar, todo, etc... I pitched this years ago "Facebook in a box for the home" I pitched it to YC, to others from Goog and FB... I was told "nobody will want that"
- ozfive 5y agoYou were told "nobody will want that" by people who wouldn't want it to exist as it flies in the face of those walled gardens. I know plenty of people that want that now for sure, myself included. People are tired of their data being "owned" by these companies and subsequently having it lost or stolen. Something like this would be like mixing bitdefender box and a NAS with HumHub or some other open source social network software maybe?
