tmux interface for my media consumption.
top left, rss feeds, hotkey downloads on remote server.
top right, file viewer, media conversion on remote server.
bottom left, media index, playing.
bottom right, downloads
I use the remote server to download various large video and audio files, and convert them to 24kbs .opus, then download them to local for listening.
this is dope
i use mobile data as primary internet. i checked out starlink, but the modem uses 116watts continuous. that would require a 2.8 kilowatt hour battery just to run internet, plus the panels to charge it.
i had to find a workaround to download podcasts and videos on restricted data.
this setup works š
how long have you been off grid? based on your tech setup Iād presume you work in technology - and you do that off grid? impressive. Iāve recently begun down the solar rabbithole myself, cleaning up the system that came in my camper.
weve been fully off forā¦like 3 years i think? something like that.
No, i donāt officially work in tech. though i probably should š¤.
just unusually nerdy and into all things āLibreā.
Love the camper panels thing.
Store that power!
Ive seen a couple people build a custom alternator bracket to install a second alternator that only charges the camper storage battery.
although the most punk rock thing i saw was a modified small lawnmower with reversed circuitry turning it into a generator. they mounted it on a styrofoam/palette wood float with a small paddle waterwheel attached to the blade drive. they tied lines over a river and dropped it in. instant energy.
Mutt email
mailx!
Hmm never used it. Interesting. The text UI of mutt is cool. I used it for a while. Similar to your text rss reader.
if youāre using a GNU/Linux distribution, or a BSD, mailx is already on it, along with with ed, the standard Unix editor. They are the original Unix tools for mail, and editing. old school.
do you run your nostr client on a remote box? the de duplication and merging of many relays events into a single feed seems wasteful on constrained bandwidth.
