I’d like to design a similar off-grid system. What do you have in mind for mobile wifi router and cellular signal booster?

No need for that tone old bean.
I heard that some employers are having to teach new ‘gen z’ employees how to download email attachments…
I’m very intrigued by Guix. What would a Debian stable user notice most if they were to switch?
You could try Jami. It’s peer to peer, so essentially any participants are self-hosting it. Its E2E encrypted, supports group messaging, voice and video calling, has easily ‘linkable’ mobile and desktop apps for all platforms and requires no email address or phone number to use. It’s also the only messenger I’m aware of which is endorsed by the Free Software Foundation. I highly recommend it 👌
I wish I could donate to more novelists directly via their websites. I tend to pirate ebooks because I don’t want a) the fuss of removing the DRM and b) to bankroll the destruction of the economy for 99% of people by giving money to big companies.
I do this too.
I work with print a lot too. Very interested in the imminent release of GIMP 3.0 with it’s colour upgrades.
That’s really interesting. Thanks :)
What would make it easier to donate for things which have been freely distributed as torrents? Some links in a bundled text file?
Check out Freetube. Also Newpipe on Android.
I’m thinking about offering some workshops. My local authority has funds available for courses and workshops which benefit the community, aimed particularly at people on low incomes. It would be fairly basic stuff, like where to access free software, the advantages of it, some recommendations and perhaps even some introductory lessons on using software like Libreoffice, Thunderbird, KeepassXC, GIMP, F-droid, the Fossify suite etc.
*Iceland. I recommend them too.
It’s not on your list but 1984. Iceland based, good for privacy, runs on renewable energy. You can install YUNOhost on it and easily run the things you mentioned plus a bunch of other stuff like email.
You could self-host wireguard on a cheap VPS using something like YUNOhost. You would be limited to the one IP address but you could also host other useful stuff on the same server like email, website, Nextcloud etc for no additional cost. On a slight tangent, you could also check out seedboxes or even TorBox.
This sounds very cool and I’d definitely use it.
Starlabs look cool. Their own hardware, coreboot, Linux out of the box, UK company. Planning to get one of their laptops when I’m done with my current one.
I got it working with yt-dlp. I had to reinstall mpv as a flatpak from flathub; it wouldn’t work with a package install from my repo or a flatpak from fedora. I think at least as of yesterday it needed to be a very up-to-date release. Posting in case this helps someone else.
What is your process for watching a video? For me to do it like this I currently have to copy the link, open a terminal, download the video with yt-dlp, navigate to the file, open it and then watch it. And then usually delete it. I’m curious if there is a faster or simpler way…
That travel router looks good. Will you also be using it to connect to the internet using a phone hotspot or just using it for a local network?
