I know they'll never do this but, by god, I would line up so fast for a mini oxide that I can homelab out of.

I mean, most of the code is open source. With enough enthusiasm and skill, you could probably make a reasonable home-lab out of that code, and some second hand hardware. And yeah, it would not be _hardware-software-co-design_, but it would be better than nothing, plus you will -- for a brief shining moment -- be the only person on planet earth (who is not formally affiliated with Oxide) who has an Oxide home-lab.

You could be a hero. A legend. The internet might even write poems and sing songs about you.
