A few years ago, my dad and I bought a NAS from WD. It’s been nothing but headaches since. Most of the time, I couldn’t get it to connect to my PC. On the rare occasions it worked, a restart or shutdown would break it again, and none of the previous fixes would work twice.

Two years ago, I bought a Raspberry Pi 5. At first, I couldn’t get it working and gave up. But a couple of weeks ago, I got deeply into Linux and discovered Ubuntu.

Exploring Linux showed me how much I could do. I’ve long been frustrated by companies taking control and the “own nothing and be happy” mantra linked to the WEF. Now, with my Raspberry Pi, I saw a way to take back that control.

I found OpenMediaVault, Nextcloud, and GoToSocial — tools that turn the Pi into a NAS and a self-hosted cloud. This setup lets us access and download files from anywhere, entirely under our control. And since I love social networks but dislike centralised giants, GoToSocial lets me host my own.

My dad and I wanted to use our 8TB drives with OpenMediaVault. But we didn’t want the Pi exposed without protection. That’s when we discovered the Argon EON – Raspberry Pi 4 4-Bay NAS Enclosure from Pi-Hut:🔗 https://thepihut.com/products/argon-aeon-nas-enclosure-for-raspberry-pi-4

It’s the perfect home for the Pi, letting us run Linux as the NAS OS — and so much more.

I’m blown away by how powerful a Raspberry Pi can be with the help of open-source software. The Linux community makes it possible to create incredible things with affordable hardware.

Most of all, I’m proud. I thought this would be far too complicated. But with patience and persistence, I got it working. Now my dad and I have a powerful, private, and flexible system that’s truly ours.

Vortrag: SIP-Telefonie & Webserver im HAMNET 📞💻
Ihr wollt wissen, wie SIP-Telefonie im HAMNET funktioniert oder wie man einen Webserver mit dem Raspberry Pi aufsetzt?

Am 30. August spricht Ing. Kurt Baumann um 10:00 Uhr im Raum Bravo der Stadthalle Baunatal. Er gibt eine Einführung in das Thema und zeigt, wie einfach die Einrichtung ist.

Übrigens: Baumann hält auch einen Vortrag zu "MeshCom - Off-Grid Nachrichten".

Internet is a service that you do not need 24 hours a day. In fact you should be able to turn on and turn off your Connection when you need it just like in the PPP days

In the past couple of days, when I was without an active internet connection, I was able to deduct the reason why sudo asks for a connection to the internet when my Gateway, one of my gateways, has none.

It turns out that for some reason sudo is looking for a FQDN {fully qualified domain name} on the Internet.

I wonder why, because on my SBC the name of the Server ends with .local

In order not to get this extremely annoying error, which slows down everything that you need to do with sudo, with a delay of Sixty to One Hundred Twenty seconds, you just need to turn off any network connection on the machine.

It was extremely annoying on the SBC, because I was making a duplicate of a USB stick, which constantly needed to invoke the sudo command, in order to write the data, with commands that needs root access to the device.

To give you an indication of the scope of the delay; a task which normally needs thirty minutes, took twelve hours and still failed, simply because it took way too long.

I am however a Bèta Tester. I love these interesting levels of troubleshooting with things that seem to be totally unrelated.

TLDR:

Disconnect your network when you need to use sudo if your gateways has no internet heartbeat

I've got adsb.im running on a little #RaspberryPi which replaces the mess of conflicting packages I used to have running on Raspian. It's feeding #ADSB data very successfully.

Now I'm thinking about adding on #ACARS which I think will require another usb #SDR plus another coax run and antenna on the roof. I'm a bit stumped as to the best low-cost antenna option. ACARS looks to run on 130.025; 130.450; 131.125; 131.550; 131.725 in my area plus 136.650; 136.800; 136.975 for VDL Mode 2.
