Open source router firmware project OpenWrt ships its own entirely repairable hardware
  • Local NAS, local security cameras, in-house streaming, LAN multiplayer, local torrent-like data sharing (FYI, Windows Update and more uses the local network to share update between computers by default, so it gets downloaded once and then shared internally)

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
  • There's already others running other relays. The appview is the most difficult, but in theory indexes on top of the data could be shared too which would reduce the need for each appview to have everything saved in advance

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
  • They're actively working on making it easier to fork the entire platform.

    There's already 3rd party account hosts, moderation labelers, feed generators, and alternative implementations like whitewind (blogging system on top of the same account repo & lexicon architecture) were you can use the exact same account. All of these works together independently of which hosts / providers you use.

    Relays and microblogging appviews (a fully functional bluesky mirror) are technically possible but more expensive to duplicate but there's work on making that practical too.

    You can already bypass PLC by using DID:Web for account identity.

    The single most important thing if you want to be able to recover from bluesky going bad is to just back up your account recover signing key, and to keep a recent backup of the repo to preserve your post history and social network (follows, etc).

    All the rest can be rebuilt if you have your account hey and backup. The content addressing will make it seamless!

  • Trump voters feel very differently about things now that he’s won, our new poll shows
  • They also disagree on basic reality and thinks things are good because of Trump when Trump isn't even in power yet and things are exactly the same as yesterday. It's not just policy preference, or even regular politics, it's cult behavior.

  • hmmm
  • In Sweden it's default to have 3 phase available, and different groups of rooms are often on a different phase in bigger apartments or homes.

    Connecting two different phases directly puts 400 V on a "short-circuited" wire instead of 230V with no current...

  • hmmm
  • In a local grid where the electric company actually allows you to feed back power it must also be possible to disconnect the generator automatically if your inverter detects the grid is down. Because of that these power companies typically only allow approved solar power systems to get connected to the grid to make sure it's one that will disconnect.

  • Proxy per app?
  • Multiple VPN apps on Android allows you to set per-app rules including forwarding to different VPN servers

    The Cloudflare app allows setting exclusions

    However you can't have 2+ active VPN connections simultaneously on Android without root, so while for example OpenVPN allows you to set multiple VPN profiles with different app exclusions (binding chosen apps to a certain VPN connection) you're forced to pair this with a firewall to keep different groups of apps offline while their VPN profile is inactive, then switch which apps are online by switching VPN profile.

    Alternatively - set up a single Wireguard VPN to your own server somewhere (it may be a rented VPS) and then set multiple outgoing VPN connections on that server, and then set forwarding rules based on which domains/IP each app communicates with (beware that this may make a mess with browsers and such if for example a single web page gets split over different VPN sessions due to content being hosted across different servers on the same page)

  • hmmm
  • Also be warned that you must plug in any generator as close to the breaker box as possible. Outlets and their wiring far away may be underdimensioned for powering anything significant further away. Also be warned that everything you're powering together must be limited by the dimensions of the one outlet you're using. The wires don't know any difference between AC in or AC out. For example it's max 10A? Then that's your limit for everything combined.
