Hi everyone, I’m creating this megathread to help regroup information about Pelosi’s recent visit and the follow-up (currently the PLA is conducting military drills very close to Taiwan)

You’re still totally allowed to make your own threads, this is more for things that do not warrant a thread by themselves.

    cool do you have good enough internet to self host everything you need to broadcast?

    I get 200 Mbit down, 15 Mbit up. It’s enough for most of what I’m doing. Surprisingly, not much requires lots of bandwidth. I’ve even streamed music fine off of it. I’ve had 10 people on my Minecraft server at a time, even with some of them having to go through a Bedrock -> Java translation layer so that Bedrock players could play on the same server as Java players. None of them complained of lag. I also run a Matrix homeserver off of it, and that works well too.

    That site says “Price includes 25% tariffs for import into the US from China” very strange.

    Yeah, I noticed that. It wasn’t there before, which is likely why I could get it for $37.

    Networking stuff has always spooked me a little.

    It’s really not that bad. I learned about most of it when setting up the networking for my servers and when creating my router setup, which is two routers, running OpenWrt, meshed together in a B.A.T.M.A.N mesh.

    I live in the states.

    Me too. California.

    Planning to try and get in repair business but I like that with computers you can do so much without having a lot of wealth.

    Yeah, computers have allowed me to do a lot. I have been passionate about them since I first laid my hands on one when I was 5 years old. I used my parents’ computer and realized that someone must’ve created the programs I was using, so I tried to find out how one would go about doing that, which started my entire journey with them. Now, I have 13 servers, 21 projects on my Gitea, some of which are relatively popular, like ITD, which is currently the most feature-complete Linux companion for the PineTime smartwatch, and is in the OpenSUSE repos. Computers are a lot of fun.
