  • What is the point in installing OpenWRT on something that is not a router? I use it, i have it on a few different WiFi access points...

    but what would be the reason to install on a regular pc, whether on VM or not?

  • GPS works with a fully offline and in airplane mode device. GPS is 100% passive, unless you want faster initial fix, for that A-GPS comes into help and require data connection.

    But plain nice old reliable GPS is 100% passive and works fine with totally disconnected devices. Actually original GPS devices (who remmebers those...) where 100% offline. Maps on the SD card, no live traffic or accidents data, nothing fancy. Yoiu had to purchase yearly maps updates too, what old times.

  • I do! I like your instance very much (i like all instances actually... but some how yours has that little extra spicy, ykwim)

  • I think you have it backward. Notifications come from your email client after it polls the email server. So you need an email client on your android device that checks the server.

    No need to self-host anything, unless you want to self-host your own email server, something that (while doable) is NOT to be taken lightly and will undounbtely lead to difficulties and lots of hiccups down the road.

    I am currently self-hosting my email server (bee, doing for almost 20y) but not at home and absolutely can confirm it's very complex to setup properly.

  • Thank you, might take a look into it as well, but for the time being Lemmy seems to be working fine on my home server (not an underpowered VPS indeed, but not an enterprise-grade server either)

  • will do immediately! Thanks!

  • If that would be so simple... Are you a billionaire? In that case, it would make things MUCH easier.... :) Otherwise my wife might want a word....

  • No, the router being the SPOF (single point of failure) is totally avoidable.

    At mny home (no SaaS services offered, but critical "enough" for my life services) i have two different ISPs on two different tecnologies: one is FTTC via copper cable (aka good old ADSL successor) plus a WFA 5G (much faster but with data cap). Those two are connected to one opnSense router (which, indeed, is a SPOF at this time). But you can remove also this SPOF by adding a second opnSense and tie the two in failover.

    So the setup would be:

    • FTTC -> ISP1 router -> LAN cable 1 to port 1 of opnSense n.1
    • FTTC -> ISP1 router -> LAN cable 2 to port 1 of opnSense n.2
    • FWA -> ISP2 router -> LAN cable 1 to port 2 of opnSense n.1
    • FWA -> ISP2 router -> LAN cable 2 to port 2 of opnSense n.2

    Then in both opnSense i would setup failover multi-WAN and bridge them together so that one diyng will trigger the second one.

    edit: fixed small errors

  • Cool! I am just having a coffee myself!

  • Cool! I got zipped as well!

  • Glad that works mate! I like you guys and the topics brought along by your instance.

  • For a very small instance, like one or two users, sohuldnt be a burden ask me Ina few months....

  • Care to elaborate? Interesting

  • Just something doing down right on the street, I was surprised nobody took it before me.

  • I will finish writing that on my wiki today at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

    edit: page done!

  • Cool bro! Cool... Love federation.

  • I couldn't live without your 'Arrs related community!
