WOW! That’s one hell of a deal. You’ve convinced me XD I’m installing pangolin Right now. The hell with Cloudflare and their evil ways

What an absolute gigachad XD

I’m currently using CF Tunnels and I’m thinking about this (I have pretty good offers for VPS as low as $4 a month)

Can you comment on bandwidth expectations? My concern is that I also tunnel Nextcloud and my offsite backups and I may exceed the VPS bandwidth restrictions.

BTW I’m testing Pangolin which looks AWESOME so far.

ayyyy boo, what that tongue do?

Because carriers are smart and greedy and lobbied the government to sell a block of spectrum that is only used in the US for 5g, so if you want good connectivity in the us, you have to buy a phone from them at 3 times the price.

You already have a lot of good answers … but I got one more to add.

I have a very similar setup on my homelab and I’m using a Cloudflare tunnel.

It’s a free service and it’s really good because it allows you to expose web services and specific ports for remote access over dynamic IPs without having to expose your own router.

??? I was just in NJ for the first time earlier this week and I pumped my own gas.

feels like the rubicon was crossed several news cycles ago, we’re in the imperial stage

I’m going to produce a song called “sudo yum install nano” so the playlist can be complete

You test in dev? You mean you don’t have a Q&A environment? or staging?

Highly recommend Tripplite

I got me one of these used (with good batteries) for $100

https://www.newegg.com/tripp-lite-smart1500lcd-5-15r/p/N82E16842111052

They have an external connector in the back for adding external batteries and the menu to do so is analog.

I added a golf cart battery to mine tripping the capacity for very very cheap.

Look in the used market.

If you want something better, Eaton is the go to, look for used deals in marketplace / craigslist. I found someone selling Used industrial Eaton UPSs with extended batteries for 150$ the set

This is only applicable if you drain them all the way repeatedly (over draining of the battery leads to sulfate forming on the plates which is)

I combat this by over sizing my batteries. I have a lead one in a tool box I use for camping and I recharge with a solar panel, It’s a standard car battery that for my use lasts 6 hours or so. Normally I use it for a couple hours (between dusk and time to go to bed) to use a laptop, maybe a speaker and an LED light and then I charge it during the day while I go hiking via solar panels.

If you care for them they can last a long time. There’s also charge controllers you can install to keep it between 20 and 80% charge (for best life) but that’s kind of overkill for my purposes.

Having said that, yes … deep cycle batteries are a lot better, and even more so are Li Ion and solid state … but they are also significantly more expensive, and I like to use whatever I have at hand.

This one is a very small 3Ah battery because my friend is using it as a proof of concept. He wants it to power a very small Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer / packet capture device when he goes war driving.

The beauty of Lead acid batteries is that they’re very cheap at the cost of additional weight and volume If I used 18650 Lithium Ion cells I could probably get more than twice the battery capacity, but it gets more expensive and more complex (You have to do some math to figure out how to wire the batteries to add up to 12V and calculate how many amps total so you can fuse it correctly)

In the pic you can see that there’s already a float charger I’ve taken out of the case to reduce the volume it takes (I normally encase them in epoxy) and an Inverter I’m going to wire externally for him to test 110 with a battery this small

I still have to cut holes for the USB adapters and float charger port, and I have to shop for a volt meter monitor that fits his needs.

If price is your main concern make one yourself. Specially if you don’t need 110

1. buy a 12v battery of your choice (deep cycle are best, but car batteries will do in a pinch, UPS batteries if you want small)

2. buy a tool box of adequate size for your battery, allow for extra room

3. order a “float charger”

4. Order USB and cigarette lighter ports as desired

5. wire it all up inside the toolbox

I’ve made a few with minimal effort, they’re great for camping and my latest one even allows me to jump start a car

There are plenty of guides out there with more detailed steps

I’m currently making one for a friend, let me know if you guys want to see pics of the components

That’s Chief Grady Judd from Polk County … look him up on the tikky tokk … he’s a real piece of work.

Where else but Florida?

Same boat brother … don’t let the hivemind bother you. I deal with an oracle linix at work for 8h a day, when I get home I don’t want to spend time fixing my own shit … even if it’s going to be better in the long run.

I’ll switch to Mint the second ricochet anti cheat has native proton support …
