What’s up, selfhosters? After accidently posting this in !solarpunk@slrpnk.net last week, here’s a new try. I usually post these in !selfhosted@lemmy.world but want to spread a bit to not concentrate on the mega instance too much.
Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found. Maybe even solarpunk related? In the last thread, someone posted their bird-listening setup, which sounded super cool.
I set up Pinepods recently, which is a selfhosted podcast player with web interface and device sync. I’ve been looking for a selfhosted pocket casts for years and was super excited to see Pinepods becoming a thing and am enjoying it since setting it up. The dev has also been asking for beta testers for mobile apps recently.
Sounds amazing, what does the pool and the mesh network consist of?
The pool is a set of micro-atx servers each with about 100TB of storage that provide core services.
The mesh network is approximately 400+ routing nodes capable of providing access to 100k people in the event of emergency (other people are able to add their own nodes into the mesh network, so the details change daily); the standard has 96 hours of battery life and enough solar panels to provide 24 hours worth of power in 2-4 hours of sunlight.
Where is this mesh network located? Sounds amazing.
I’m very interested in how that network got started, if it’s some kind of community, more context, etc, if you’d like to tell a bit more.
It is actually a dozen different communities that I know of.
Local drug dealers, the local police department, local firefighters, End of the World preppers, black panthers, some old school ham radio operators, socialist rifle association and a bunch more (and honestly since anyone can join, there is definitely more than that)
This sounds rad, which protocol/meshnet system are you using?
