Resorces Available to MetaARP on SDF

https://aNONradio.net

Anyone can DJ. The minimum time slot is 30 minutes once a week. Recently, The Strokes producer Gordon Raphael joined aNONradio and now does a weekly hour long show. Scheduled DJs also get their shows archived and are available online. For DJs that don't want to stream live, there is a new podcaster mechanism to schedule a pre-recorded show. You are welcome to join in as a DJ if you have an ideas for a show you'd like to do, or, just listen!

This is a new framework we just recently moved out of beta with. It is an open source tumblr/flickr/instagram style site. It has an open sign up.

If you haven't heard of Mastodon yet, it has really taken off. It is designed as a federated microblogging site a la de-centralized twitter. It also has some features that give it some Facebook features and it works well with other federated systems like Pixelfed and Peertube. It has an open sign up.

We're on MetaArray IV now. THe MetaArray is an augmented, stand alone server just for MetaARPA members. It currently features a large disk array with a net 44TB of storage online. Probably the most interesting feature of the MetaArray is the NextCloud instance. NextCloud allows you to share files publically and privately, sync to mobile and desktop devices as well as run Apps for content streaming and work productivity. If you have not setup your account on the MetaArray, just run the 'metaarray' command from tty.sdf.org.
