What protocol is it based on?

looks nice, a bit more like discord than Element for sure.

They are working on it, the leas dev is working with the lead Dev of slidge to propose a new Spaces protocol to enable “sub-channel” type functionality.

Houdini M2 over LORA is kind of a replacement.

It’s too bad it leaves the door open for age verification requirements, but the language is overall pretty decent.

Its a commercial product fundamentally. Looking at the company’s site its clear this is an attempt to sell their commercial/enterprise “private cloud” node hardware to the general public but they’ve botched the marketing.

Medical and Transport are their core business, and they are a software-first company that has built a hardware solution for ready drop-in of their secure private cloud server software stack. https://www.nexalta.net/blog-news/11

Looking at NAS options is how I found this, I got suggested a few NAS kickstarters, but the hardware on this one seems to be superior over all. Too bad the documentation sucks.

Well there are 15 days left on the kickstarter but it has been up for a while. I didn’t catch the medical office thing before, but makes perfect sense, they are clearly a commercial/enterprise targetted business and this is their first kickstarter. They just don’t know how to market to the masses.

I agree the software documentation is lacking, they claim it is easy to setup but they don’t show what it is actually like.

I get a sense that this could be a diamond in the rough but to your point about drivers I agree support is going to make or break this device. I think there are some indications that could be decent, the company itself appears to be software-first and targeting highly regulated industries (medical and transport) that require zero downtime. So long as the company itself survives I would guess drivers will likely stay updated. As long as the company survives.

To that point, it seems like this kickstarter is a line in the water for rebranding their enterprise “private cloud” hardware for general use, but they half baked the launch.

IDK, I’m tempted, but without better documentation it’s hard to spend that cash.

What do you think? It isn’t cheap but seems like great hardware to a n00b like myself, I like the future-proofness and repairability of the slots it has. Possibly worth it?

Thanks, try now

I love this idea, but I agree lack of docker auto-installation as a part of your executable is going to make it harder to convince less techy folks to use, and they (we) strongly prefer a one click installation process at the front end.

Overall though, I love this concept and will give it a shot!

OK, you might be on to something there.
