Thanks for the issue... looks like codeberg pages service is down :(

Hmm I see.. Probably because popularity is either Debian or RHEL forks when it comes to servers.. Yeah that's the good thing about open source is inter-compatibility I guess.

BTW this Alpine thing is still under testing personally.. I still need to achieve long term stability. I still am hopeful after what I've been reading from other's experiences.. Thanks!

I've always relied on Docker Hub and compose files (shared on the project page there), and never really delved deeper. It's nice to hear recent Podman on the next release.. So maybe it'll become a viable option again. I read that RHEL (and folks) is the standard, for Podman. But lately they have been riddled with licensing issues and big corporate nonsense, and found Alpine instead..

Well, hear me out.. This is a self-hosted sub, I just run an *arr suite (lets face it, many here are), and do so in containers.. They are not really distributed as packages AFAIK..

BTW my main nitpick of Debian is the outdated Podman packages.. it wasn't practical to run it there. Otherwise I too was content with Debian. I did mention this.

I guess you can take more risks if you know what you're doing :P

yeah, but any update failure of a container is less fatal. and only affects the isolated service.. it's way easy to manage this situation than an unbootable server.

okay thank you

That's exactly what I did. Better yet I routed it though a wireguard tunnel! I documented the process here.

I’m getting 1W 433 modules for like $15 now

haha I guess cheap is relative :) I was considering parts at 4 to 5$ range. But i'm talking about low power ble/zigbee etc..

wow didnt' know that Ebyte modules were that popular! I've come across them in site like lcsc and Ali.. Making use of them is what my current skill level allows. some of the varieties are relatively expensive though..

Okay great! Thanks for all the great insight!

Wow, thank you for the very detailed post! I see that impedance matching is an important base subject. Is it covered in standard circuit theory textbooks. I'm looking to use this book. I tried to skim the contents but couldn't find it... Maybe I need to separately learn it? Thanks.

 

Hi all! I'm a firmware developer with little knowledge in analog electronics.. I deal with firmware for IOT projects all the time.

I had to make a breakout board with an off the shelf RF module with self contained PCB antenna. Now I'm intrigued in the hardware side. I'm inclined to design them from scratch myself. (Obviously ignoring the EMI and FCC certifications for the time being).

What concepts should I be familiar with to achieve this? Starting on I figured to brush up on circuit theory and signals. Where do I go from here? What materials would you recommend? Hopefully I don't need to get into hardcore RF theory to design these PCBs (I know kicad already has these premade antenna blocks).

Thank you.

Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it's configuration is as follows

  • debian host running 3 VMs

  • debian running inside each VM as docker host

I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.

I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.

But I've now heard of Talos.. (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files..

What setup are you guys using?

Thank you.


Thanks for all your suggestions! I've chosen to go with just bash scripting (given my simple setup) and keep the setup as it is.. Just gotta learn bash and virsh :)

 

So I've just found out about Lemmy. (Although I'm a big FOSS enthusiast)

Choose this app for my Android device, and boy nothing beats it's minimalism!

 

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.
