Whoa, FreeDNS is a killer, I wish I knew about it before! I have domains to donate probably (unless they expired lol). I sure need to try that.

Yeah, using VPS to route traffic is an obvious solution, I’m thinking about it as the last resort here.
So how does this work then, I host DNS and it pushes my data to other DNS servers around the net every time my IP address changes? Can you share an example of how could be set up?

2·12 days agoWell at least with opensource, we can keep forking. Like Audacity project showed is possible, for example, through chaos to better product. I’m more concerned with physical resources though, those do not fork.
Github is not git, after all, and self-hosting some git server is kind of simple. Not doing it myself though, too many friends who do it already lol.

1·4 months agoWhat about just adb sideload? That’s how I do it. Being offgrider, you are supposed to be able tho handle this or have a techy geek in your community.


I found manual unpowered bow- or chain-saws (simple chain and handles, no motor etc) much better for just this purpose. They are easy to carry around and are faster to start and stop using - exactly what I need when something fell unexpectedly, not a clear-cut type of jobs.
