Does that really sound like a big hurdle? Or more like... Stepping over a small twig?

Edit: to be clear here, they are selected by a commission that the governor creates, which makes a recommendation list to the governor to select from. Of the 7 justices, 5 of them became justices during Desantis' time as governor.

With the tiniest, slimmest, barely existent bit of effort to make an alias - yes.

But OP would clearly prefer to complain.

SCP or a share on a NAS, personally.

Ground up, sure, wired becomes an easy solution. Ad-hoc growth though (which is what I would expect to be more likely) wireless becomes advantageous. Running new lines is going to be way more than the couples hundred for an antenna stand and couple hundred to low thousands for gear (distance dependant) if there isn't a pathway already there and usable.

And yeah, the pipe out is the kicker always. That would either need to be a bunch of locations with a solid, but lower speed connection, or a high speed line (with fail over ideally). Which mostly means a shared cost and management.

I'd love to see something like this for a community, though you'd have to have enough folks to get it started.

I remember years ago there was a town/small city, I think in NZ, that started doing fiber distribution to everyone in town. It was optional to light it up, but with distribution like that it was real easy for them to have a singular community wifi solution as folks went around town, and they used (again, iirc) copper on utility poles for distribution to homes where they could, antennas on poles for those further out. That was super exciting to me, especially as a locally run initiative.

I'm hoping to find a community when we next move that has that sort of local drive to get projects done (and also has decent schools for my kids), though still searching on that.

First off - loved hunt the wumpus when I was little.

Second, I'd consider what's possible as well - as in mesh network solutions that would apply to a community.

You can get over a gig with a 24ghz point to point for around 50W max draw. For point to multi, you can do something like the prism station for only 10W or a simple AP for less noisy environments. You can then extend with mesh for another 10W max or so.

Its perfectly viable imo to get 100mbit or more on pretty low power. You could get more than 24hrs of backup off a wheelchair battery for even the point to point stuff which will require more power for the long distance transmission.

With a bit more money into equipment, speeds can go even higher, but even at the lower price point you can get quite a bit more than 10mbit with large scale mesh. More than enough for most use cases!

I used to bike daily for my commute (to the bus), so I wanted something decent for both clipless and regular shoes. That lead me to Shimano Click'R, which seems to still be available (but only one model left, T421) which does still have reflectors on it. May be worth a look.

SPD, still on my bike today. Whether I keep my bike or go to something new I will personally be keeping those pedals as long as I can.

For lots of services that require little CPU and ram, I use tiny/mini/micro PCs, bought used. I get them for anywhere from $100-$400, and usually all I do is drop in an SSD. That includes Linux VMs when I'm testing distros or deployment on a distro, since 32gb ram on the host is more than enough to leave 4-8gb ram to the VM.

For some heavier applications, I also have a 4RU case stacked with drives, which I use as a third NAS (VM with drives passed through), large DBs, etc. Its just a 1700x with 64GB ram, and that's plenty.

For most things (DNS, a few web servers, git, grafana, Prometheus, rev proxies, Jenkins, personal fdroid repo, homepage, etc) I just use the tiny/mini/micro's. Imo, you can't go wrong with those for your services, and a big case with spare parts and lots of drives for your NAS. Especially at the price you mentioned. Just remember you can separate your services easily, so don't focus on getting everything in one spot, you can make your requirements (and cost) go up quickly.

Agreed, I prefer trunk with native to the vlan for services, each container that the reverse proxy will hit in its own vlan (or multiples for differing sets of services, but I can be excessive).

I'd block any traffic initiated from that vlan to all others, and I'd also only allow the specific ports needed for the services. Then fully open initiated from the general internal vlan.

Just to mention, multi communities are the main reason I'm checking it out (and replying from it now).

Very clean work flow on multis, nicely done!

Removing and reinstalling has it on 1.36.0 which is working, no idea why Google Play considered it as not having an update available, but that resolves it.

[–] realbadat 2 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Installed a while ago just never got to trying it out, Google isn't showing updates in the play store for it.

I'll uninstall/reinstall.

[–] realbadat 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (10 children)

Yup

To note, currently play doesn't show any updates available. But that could be Google being... Well, Google.
