I just put in a self-contained hard drive alongside the Banana Pi board so that everything is controlled in one spot. The power demands have been reduced because we are working off a laptop drive. I got everything from Temu and it is working okay. I vaccilate between running Synchronet and just hanging with the web and gopher servers. The BBS is fun because it's all selfcontained, but I don't have the time to generate all the content needed to make it interesting, but it may be what's needed. How would it be done?
