Peak homelabbing

Man when I was a kid I ran a runescape private server for anywhere within 20-100 people at a time, and for the first few weeks users reported a lot of downtime, which didn't make sense to me as whenever I tried to login it was totally fine!!

Eventually figured out closing my laptop lid put the laptop to sleep and scraped together some chore money for a VPS lol

Oh fuck off Meta

Was unaware of the steam frame, thanks for putting them on my radar! Wonder how they'll fare as a monitor replacement for dev work. I've seen people use the apple goggles for that because they're pretty high res. Seemed pretty cool

Lol, I'm the same way. Meshtastic is the hobby of the month and it's been fun so far.

Here a few reasons I'm liking it:

  • Learn more about radio frequencies
  • Off-grid communication, while hiking, camping, hunting etc
  • Communication and location updates in areas with poor cell service (concerts, music festivals, travel, boating, etc)
  • Emergency preparedness
  • In my area the broadcast channel is pretty active, so a community of like minded people to chat with
  • Fun little devices you get to burn money on (I have 4 pre-made and parts for 4 more I'll make myself on the way)
