    How many #InfoSec #SysAdmin #DevOps and other techie people have dedicated servers running and not being used most of the time to their full potential? I know I do.

    Surely there is a way to have them connect and create a libre cloud - think of it as SETI@Home or Folding@Home, but for running services (say, docker containers or VMs).

    That could create infrastructure for people who cannot afford their own servers, but would like to play with stuff.

      Makes me think of plan9's facility for mounting remote CPUs...

      (I saw some mechanisms for distributing arbitrary operations over the net, about 10 years ago. For obvious reasons they were limited to non-turing-complete languages -- often implementation-specific. I think all the ones I saw then are dead now though.)
