I found the about page to be fairly useful in figuring out what this was: https://homebrewserver.club/pages/about.html

I have my home-built NAS and would be someone for this club, but using "config" as a verb is ensuring I stay away.

Config is often used as a short form for configure, I don't see the issue. I've never heard anyone balk at that use of it before.

I've only heard it as short for "configuration". Which is a noun.

But apparently in their world it's also an adjective, "Yes We're Config(TM)".

My god, hipsters, hipsters everywhere!

"yes we are config" is not something I would directly associate with something like a homebrewserver. But the point can probably made the other way around that the average Jo does not know what a homebrewserver is.

Just FYI, the https cert on the linked page for the feminist server is expired

As someone who has little cluster of hardware at home, this is a concept I can go with.

Don't know exact translation for russian word "Kolhoz", but it came to mind, when read their manifesto. Though about dirtributed system of misconfigured bunch of servers, easy deanonimized and taken down fast, if needed. BBAS (bike-building-as-service).

As much as I love messing around with stuff at home, it is pretty jaw dropping how cheap a cloud hosted solution can be these days - I've got my personal site, a nextcloud instance with 75gb of s3 style storage, a Wireguard server, along with some docker images hosting projects I'm working on all for around 3EUR a month. I used to self host everything, but convenience kills I guess.

What about security? Access-Control at home is simpler to handle, which is kinda a major-point for doing homebrew: control.
