Sadly Meshtastic is limited to the number of nodes it’ll go through (think it was 7) so pretty limited. MeshCore goes up to something like 64 so is better but still both have huge limitations right now besides the ‘no nodes around me’ issue.
still, I have some MeshCore nodes and hopefully get 1 fairly high up when I can afford the £100 to buy it but its a lot to waste when no-one around here is interested.
I have multiple PI’s waiting for a decent ‘non video’ PI kubernetes tutorial but its hard to find anything beyond setting up a cluster and running hello world or aren’t out of date and no longer work. I already have a 12 pi bitnami cluster but its a pain to manage.
Something showing how to run things like JellyFin with network share for media would cover much of what is needed for Self Hosting.
Bonus points for things like TalosOS would be cool but then it seems net booting TalosOS is difficult because you needed a specific serial thats only easily viewable in Omni right now so still needs SD cards/SSD/NVME hats so increases costs significantly.
I’ve been trying to get a tutorial done myself but keep hitting issues with configs not working as expected. sigh
Ooh, does anyone know of something like this which can show 3 pages at once?
Thinking of replacing the music app on an old mac mini and using a hdmi stick/pi to display it instead.
Its also not free lol
I’m broke and no way am I paying for something to help me not be broke. It just always confuses me how everything these days is over thought rather than K.I.S.S.
I think I belong in some other universe! 😞
All I want is software that I can put DD’s and known regulars in and it can tell me how much I’ll have in 3 or 6 months time.
I’ve tried firefly, actual budget and most of the docker based ones but still stuck using the forecast app on the ipad.
They’re all just way to over complicated for what anyone I know wants and given how AI can’t get the simplest things right, I’d rather someone just work on simplicity that works, like microsoft money didn’t before they killed it. 🙄😕
It’s not that difficult… you pay an ‘ad tariff’ on every product you buy which companies then give to ad companies. So long as the ad companies can fake views that they can show companies that ‘line go up’ everyones happy… except you because everything you buy is double what it would be without advertising being rammed down your throat!
And the increase in product costs is just blamed on immigration, race or whatever other b/s people are stupid enough to believe. 🙄🤦♂️
Ooh, Onedr0p’s cluster template looks great so tried it but getting stuck on RPI_EFI.fd
The notes say: create RPI_EFI.fd like here https://www.sidero.dev/v0.6/guides/rpi4-as-servers/#persisting-changes
But that requires setting up sidero which is discontinued and looks like it needs a working talos cluster to get it working anyway, so is there an easier way to generate RPI_EFI.fd ?
I’m also hitting other issues so going to have to wipe the pi I have for PXE anyway so maybe it’ll play nice after a reset. 🤔
[rant] The Internet is not FREE. Its just free at the point of use!
Just like ad funded websites aren’t free to use, they are also just free at the point of use!
People seem to forget where the all this ‘ad money’ comes from. It’s not growing on magic money trees, it’s coming from every product you buy and it’ll be interesting to see how much products have gone up against the sheer amount of ads that are shovelled everywhere now.
The reason the internet used to be great was because people shared information with no expectation of monetary gain. Just the love of what they knew and the joy of sharing information.
So the sooner everyone realises you’re all paying for the ads on every product/service to be shown already, and blocking them actually saves you money because the more ads that are shown, the more websites get paid, the more ad/tracking companies charge companies and yes, the more expensive you’re product and services get!

I can’t comment on ZimaOS but I do use CasaOS to manage docker and it saves a lot of hassle for most things. Just being able to click the 3 dots and check for updates is worth it.
The only issue I have with CasaOS is that it doesn’t have support for env files. Maybe ZimaOS fixed that. Next week I should have a HP gen9 arriving to replace my dying gen8 and looking at trying proxmox on that so might have to test ZimaOS.
Still really want to get into kubernetes but trying to get a useful tutorial that works and isn’t a stupid video thats hard to follow is annoyny.
