Is anyone here interested in setting up a redundant DCGLUG controlled version via DDNS. It strikes me that something this low bandwidth could be set up on a few home machines in the DNZ with a PiZero W hanging off the router. Publish all the details for others to get it working and improve and then move on to add Jitsi (not on a zero obviously). I just feel we give too much to others that we should control ourselves.

This was done (by Neil Stone I think) before we opted to move to Freenode in 2008. The main issue was that of reliability. It wasn't that reliable and would crash and stay offline for some time.

I have the means to do this either hosted on a VPS or at home, but I'm not sure I really want to and in any-case, Neil has created the #DCGLUG on Libera for us all to use, so since no-one has strong views on staying with Freenode (although I did say I'd leave it until tomorrow afternoon), then moving to Libera would be prudent at this point.
