what if

what if we make the #raspberry connect the pppoe, I know how to do that.

in fact, what if we stick a nice wifi dongle antenna in it and let the raspi be the router AP DHCP DNS everything

trying to get rid of my dual NAT setup. I already managed to find out Telekom's mysterious PPPoE parameters and connect directly on laptop. Problem is, my router (running #Gluon / #Freifunk firmware) is lacking the pppoe kernel module.

this was driving me crazy, nothing I tried managed to make it appear for opkg, till I finally understood—gluon uses the generic OpenWRT repos for most stuff, but the kernel doesn't mix. I tried another Freifunk community's opkg repo but the kernel version is incompatible. as far as I can tell, my city's firmware doesn't provide add-on packages…

I was tempted already to update our gluon, I want l2tp support too.

was a bit of an experiment but celery stir-fried with chilli as the oil flavouring works really well

was fun to console self with all these outfits and gadgets but back to budgeting harder I guess!

oh hey first salary is there let's take a look how much concrete money we get after discounts... oh.

(mentally subtracts various support money)
(mentally account for plane tickets x 4 / estimated time for children's immigration)
(mentally estimates expenses with moving etc)

hey turns out I'm not wealthy

"hmm so we need to add cgroup_enable=memory to the #raspberry commandline.txt to use lxc. let's add a kernel parameter, what's the worst that could happen"

realised my raspi is doing double duty, working things I want to be in a DMZ (mastodon, backup/monitoring of transmom and other external servers) and things that are very internal (zigbee, NMS, backup/monitoring of personal devices).

was tempted to buy another :3 but honestly the raspi is pretty underwhelmed by his duties and can take more. so I'm going to make him plural instead~ and add a container.

only thing is, 'paopao' (=toottoot) is the name for a mastodon server. so the container will take this name. I need a new name for the household server.

after a lot of pondering I'll be going with nisse (cname tontu)

basking in the warm satisfaction of having set up trans mom dot love email services yesterday

@porsupah aah cool it's 网 not 王, I didn't know it was used in China that way ^^

the two elilla modes:

- electric scootering through town on LED catgirl ears pulsating to navigation guidance, glorious trans colours outfit with summer dress, thigh-highs and pink boots, makeup hair perfume all on top; and,

- unshaven incommunicable literally all day leaning on a bean bag, t-shirt jeans shorts no panties, hacking at minute colour configurations of her linux commands

@porsupah maybe it's meant to be 王 ? I'm assuming...

@twinkle

these days there's a trend for tools that are "like this 40-years-old command but better", which I've been exploring to great delight. I think usually "but better" means:

- faster
- options make sense
- colourful
- friendly
- written in Rust

ripgrep, tealdeer and bat quickly became needed at the tip of my fingers, I'm trying fd and bottom next

@twinkle it's cat but better

@twinkle it's linux. it's a computer where a man gives you pages to read, but he tends to bring a lot of pages so they're hard to read (there's a teal deer that brings easier reads but the man is more famous). and normally all these pages will be paged by a cat, though the cat doesn't wait for you to read so most folk prefer something more paced, or less, some even go for most. but now there's a bat and the bat can make the man pages be colourful so it's very nice (be sure to try it with the new bat, the old bat didn't know so many colours)

great success ​

fish is so good tho
