At this point, I’ve found a carrier that does 10GB for $17 a SIM (and I could probably get away with less data for cheaper), and I’d be fine with that. I have several rPis that act as hubs taking in LoRa data from things like solar pumps, water bowls and bins, but backhauling to the central server over LoRa is a pain, and we don’t have LoS to all of them so using radio bridges is spotty. Some sites are 10km away over hills. And moving everything to MQTT would make my life easier than my custom BS programming that has devices talking to each other directly.

We don’t generally have issues with phones and where I do, I can probably put up an antenna if the dongle has an external port, or I’m willing to spend extra $$ for an uplink with external. I currently have a Microhard LTE-CAT4 that I use on one remote site that seems to get good reception, but that unit is pretty pricy and I have to fart around with network cables and power when I could just be plugging in a USB dongle.

I see a lot of cheap ones on Amazon, but I was hoping someone had a common Linux specific model they know works, because most of those look pretty janky.

Jellyfin is basically a storage/streaming server. You still have to get the files, which is where Sonarr/Radarr/QBT come in.

Make sure you’re out before Canada gets into another dispute with China and they resort to hostage diplomacy again.

GrapheneOS and duress PIN.

Edge is what you use to download a browser.

Mozilla doesn’t seem to have a working strategy

Guess they couldn’t replicate the “own everything that people use to get stuff on the internet and make secret breaking changes to constantly mess up other browsers” strategy.

That’s a funny way to spell “hang”.

So… parallel reconstruction gets another workout.

Anime artists are unfamiliar with firearms?

Inconceivable.

I had a nephew that found out he could get a $500 bursary for trade school as a male, or $5000 as a female. A trip down to the DMV netted him (her) $4500.

Can’t say I wasn’t amused.

I have no issue with corporate funding. I have an issue when a company gets to make all the decisions. Lot of good software has gone to hell when the shareholders need profit now instead of seeing a long term vision.

We’ll see, but I’ve been around this rodeo enough to just avoid it from the start and take some pain now instead of putting in effort that’s going to be wasted later.

2023, I remember the announcement last year. Not sure where you’re getting 2014 from, that was even before NC split off.

What puts me off of Owncloud is the new ownership. I couldn’t care less if it’s written in the blood of Christ, if I have to worry about the rug getting pulled out from under me for self-hosting, it’s a no-go for me, Joe.

Nextcloud works well for me and has for years. The people that don’t like it can go use this, and we’ll see you back in a couple of years when it goes open-core or worse.

“Crapist”

One who craps his diapers.

I feel personally attacked.

I’ve built several printers from the original RepRap to a Wilson II and a Deltabot. Some of those plans are probably getting on in age. There was a time you couldn’t buy a printer for the cost of building a reprap; those days are long gone. An Ender or similiar are so cheap and good now, it’s hard to build one of similiar quality. But if you’re just looking for a project, fill your boots.

Well, lord knows we wouldn’t want anyone except the DNC leadership unilaterally choosing the candidate. When has that ever gone badly?

More chins than a Chinese phone book.
