Thanks. Yup, wireguard makes it work. I forgot about that from the last time.

It's still a little curious, though. The certs for my self hosted stuff are done the same was as for the Lemmy instance I'm posting from which I can browse with no problem. The only difference is Lemmy is hosted on Hetzner. Both are behind Nginx Proxy Manager.

Thanks. I'm past the captive portal and can browse the rest of the internet no problem.

If I remember correctly, I think I tried running Lemmy using Yunohost about a year ago. I don't remember exactly how it went, but I don't think I was successful. It was probably my fault since Lemmy has a few moving parts.

At the end of the day, I just prefer containers and run all of my stuff in Docker.

I like the idea of Yunohost, but I wonder if it's geared towards people who prefer to run things on bare metal... and that type of person doesn't usually need a helper script type of solution.

I think others have already said this, but to sum it up...

To extend wifi, avoid repeaters (unless speed isn't a big deal). Get a hard-wired Access Point. TP-Link makes some of you want to stick to consumer brands. Ubiquity and Grandstream are a bit more "prosumer". I don't have actual experience with Grandstreem, but the advantage is you don't need to run software to set them up. You can do it through a web browser.

These options need to be wire with Ethernet. You'll power them with a PoE injector.

"Mesh" typically refers to a main router/wifi AP combo, and an add-on WiFi AP, with a wireless link to the main router. This works well for a lot of people, and if worked well for you before, you might want to go back to that if you can't run wires to a "real" access point.

Using another router in Access Point mode is an option, but it would sort of be a waste of money (although, maybe not? Depends on price obviously). This will probably require a wire between the two routers, but you can probably also set it up as a wifi extender.

Fun fact: A lot of Ubiquity access points have "mesh", but to my knowledge it only works with other Ubiquity/Unifi equipment. You still have to power it using ethernet and a PoE injector, but if there's no network on that ethernet cable, it can link up wirelessly. I'm sure other brands have this as an option, too.

Yeah, all I see is under Administration -> settings -> Map & GPS settings, there's a couple of things there. Nothing that disables location altogether I don't think, just showing location on a map and looking up the city.

Which version?

I just checked and mine is working. I'll look into server settings in a bit, but didn't see any settings in the android app.

Oh sorry, didn't mean to blame Bazzite for that. Was just a new thing for me to deal with.

I installed it on my Desktop, replacing LMDE. Unfortunately I have trouble running the one game that I play even though it works on Linux with Steam. It worked in Linux Mint, but for some reason it won't start in Bazzite. Surely it's because I have an Nvidia graphics card, but that wasn't a problem with Linux Mint.

Another problem that I ran into was Firefox (flatpak) crashing all the time. Luckily you just have to disable wayland using Flatseal, but I still get graphics glitches with it.

I'm thinking of restoring my Linux Mint backup.

I don't know why I'm responding to your comment, I just wanted to share my experience, I guess.

What do you mean by PC? Just asking because sometimes people use PC to refer to a computer that runs Windows. Just sort of how the vernacular ended up going over the years.

I can't help, but even with Windows I think they have a way to run Linux stuff on it now, so it should be possible.

I installed FreshRSS after seeing it mentioned a lot 'round these parts. I typically consume the articles through an android app called Read You which is good at loading entire articles.

I recently switched to Dockge and it suites my needs. I like some aspects of Dockge better, but I like the network and image management features of portainer.
