New open-source project transforms Android phones into ham radio transceivers in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] palitu@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I love the meshtastic idea, and just did some reading on it.

You can put license = true and it will allow full power

Not quite. To use this you need to have a license still, otherwise you are stuck with low power as well.

Meshtastic can also increase power if you are licensed.

Shared grocery list suggestions? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] palitu@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Yep, this is what we use. I always found the others too prescriptive. I don't need to add the type, size or brand of cheese, I just want to put cheese, and me or my wife knows what sort of cheese to buy.

If we need something specific, you can add that detail too.

Super quick, super simple. I would love a self hosted alternative, bit there is nothing as simple that I have found.

How nice of them, I asked them to add links to the apps, as I don't know what they are by the name.

Thanks :)

OsmAnd is impressively capable in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
[–] palitu@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder if there are simple interfaces, basically just a setup in osmand that simplifies it for people like my wife that does want complex

It is powerful enough that I reckon it can do it.

Guide to make vector topo maps with JOSM and Inkscape (infinitely scaleable paper wall maps) in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
[–] palitu@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, sorta out of the box. But there are a few crash bugs in it, as pointed out in article.

It would be good if qgis had some native osm plugins

I loved maperitive. But it has not been maintained for ages.

If they opened it up, I'm sure it would get some love for the community as it is a really cool tool that could go much further than it has already.

Sigh.

There are lots still. Typically in lower socio-economic communities, as well as certain countries.

But, they still smike

Service to store and share WiFi credentials (aussie.zone)
 

This is a bit of an odd one,

I have just moved to another country where internet is very expensive, and i would like to have an app to create a shared list of Wifi creds where i find them, whether that is offices, hotels or cafes, etc.

It would kind of be like the OpenWifi Map, but maybe a bit more private?

Does anyone know of anything like this? it would be able to tell where you are and alert you or autoconnet to the wifi using the credentials that are stored.

The reason i want it to be shared is that my wife can use the ones that i find and vice-versa.

cheers

Hey y'all!

I am after the colelctive expertise of this fantastic community. My family and i are moving overseas for a year for a pacific adventure, which leaves my hosting setup in a bind. We will be renting out our house and i will need to move all of my 'servers' (read laptop and NAS) out.

All of my services are in docker.

My main services that i MUST keep are:

  • Immich
    • 600Gb or so
    • very important as we will be taking a HEAP of photos.
  • paperless
  • vaultwarden
  • custom location tracking service
  • radicale

I would also like to make it so that all of my media is still available, but i may need to get a set up at a friends house. I have jellyfin plus a bunch of *arr's

I was thinking a mix between at a mates house and a cloud server.

any thoughts?

edit: a lot of my services are exposed publicly, via Nginx proxy manager.

RPi client for tv (aussie.zone)
 

My jellyfin server is all set up and ready to go.l, but I want to replace my Kodi box, it is just painful.

Is there a nice way to setup a rPi to run as a client, that just turns on and looks like a media centre? Ie, it loads up and is ready to go at power on?

recommendations for musician tablets & software (aussie.zone)
 

cross-posted from: https://aussie.zone/post/3641289

Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.

As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?

My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.

cheers

eReaders for Selfhosted book collections (aussie.zone)
 

Hi fellow hosters! I really did not know where to ask this question - and i thought you lot are pretty similar to me. If you can think of somewhere else to post this, please let me know!

I am looking for a solution to be able to host my own books (something like calibre i guess), that i can easily push them to a yet-to-be-purchased eReader.

Firstly - What eReader are you using that allows you to add any number of book sources to? i would also like to include my local library subscription, as well as locally hosted and purchased ones.

Secondly - Any hints on hosting a book collection. (Readarr v calibre, etc), where you get books from, removing DRM from eBooks that you buy, that sort of stuff.

thanks!

Farming Dung Beetles for Farmers Farming other things (www.abc.net.au)
 

I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?

What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

sorting of 'favourite' comms (aussie.zone)
 

Hey lemmings.

I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.

Is there a way to increase their visibility?

I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie !perth@aussie.zone can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.

I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.

Cheers!

A real world analysis of a near-100% renewable grid in Australia - Year 2. (reneweconomy.com.au)
 

This is a great article that uses real data to see how our grid world perform with greater wind, solar and storage. It shows that we can easily achieve a 95% renewable grid with a modest level of storage.

What i really like about this, is it has been running for 2 years now, and it is pragmatic about its aims (ie, not 100%), it aims for reality (this is real data that is collected weekly), and it looks at the cost (in $$ and CO2-e).

He sets some targets (60% Wind, 45% Solar + storage), then works off of the actual data to scale the wind & solar generation, to see how it would meet demand. excess is accumulated in storage (theoretical battery storage and actual hydro), and shortfalls is taken from storage.

The really nice part shows where "other" is required, in Australia's case, existing fossil fueled peaker plants.

I often use his 1st year report to have the discussion with "non-believers" to show what is possible, and where the gaps are to achieveing a renewable grid.

Have a read and let me know what you think.
