I would use point to point wireless links between the buildings. Then connect an access point to the link to provide WiFi to the building. Something like the Omada EAP211 should work well for the link.

The T480s only has one DIMM socket. The other memory channel has 8GB soldered to the motherboard.

Mumble supports text chat and images too. Right click on a channel or user and select send message. There is an insert image button in the message window. I wish they would make it so you could just drag and drop an image though.

That’s pretty much it for Android currently. There are a few more choices for PC.

There is a new browser in development called Ladybird, but a stable release is still years away and they are focusing on desktop support first.

You can open “Keyboard Shortcuts” in the menu and change them to whatever you want.

I would assume that it will work as long as Deno is installed somewhere that’s in $PATH. They still haven’t merged the pull request that will make yt-dlp use Deno yet. There should be more information once they release the new version. Yt-dlp 2025.10.22 included a fix that gets some formats working again though.

Anything that relies on an internet connection that should be unnecessary is a bad idea.

That hasn’t stopped the addresses from changing on any of the devices I’ve tried it on.

Android changes its IPv6 address daily. That makes it kinda hard to host anything on it. SLAAC would be fine too if it was a stable address.

Has anyone figured out how to make android use a static IPv6 address? If I have to run a reverse proxy on a real PC, I may as well just host the website from that PC.

That depends on what you are running on it. The Pi 5 will be one of the most energy efficient options, but it’s limited to USB and PCIe 2.0 x1 with an adapter for storage.

It’s a known issue. They are working on a fix, but it’s not ready yet. It will require an external JavaScript library though.

Yes, you can still dual boot. I would recommend using two drives since it will make things easier. You can even use secure boot and bitlocker if you want to.

It’s a WebDAV server, so it’s more like FTP than Syncthing.

There’s no service at my house anyways. You have to walk up the driveway to maybe get one bar if it’s not raining.

I guess it’s time to paint the walls with RF shielding paint.

For email, you just pay for a host that will let you use your own domain. It’s usually a lot cheaper than getting a static IP and you can easily switch hosts while keeping your email address.

It’s not really even worth attempting to self host your own outbound email these days. It’s a lot of work getting the big email providers to accept your email and if someone has ever sent spam from your IP address, you are pretty much screwed.

You don’t need any apps for that, you can just use a normal camera.

SoundConverter works great for batch conversions. It will convert multiple files at once to speed things up.

Opus is considered lossless transparent at 128k VBR, so it will use less than half the space of the 320k MP3s.

Don’t convert one lossy codec to another, it will just make it sound worse. You need to re rip them from the CDs or download them in FLAC.

The energy density of sodium-ion batteries keeps improving. They are getting pretty close to LiFePO4. Chinese EV manufacturers have started using them. Not everyone needs a super long range, especially in places where there are lots of charging stations available.
