Almost every word of that sounds way-more involved than doing it without containers
My whole note writing style aims to avoid that
I OS-hop Windows/Linux/FreeBSD; I figured early-on containers/cookbooks wouldn’t work consistently cross-distro and be more of a PITA to maintain with how frequently I wipe the OS out. I’m my own cook
I mainly do PHP/webserver setups; DokuWiki was about the same Windows and Linux, but it’s way nicer to do quick changes with floating GUI windows
And services on timers; I can do systemd scripts and timers, but the same ordeal is about 3 clicks in GUI Task Scheduler from a Basic task wizard on Windows.
So… Hack open these. Root the pi cm3. Remove the lorawan concentrator. Solder a 1 watt meshtastic node and there you go. You hot an amazing 1200 dollar miner box you bought for 29.99 fuck you helium miners.
And all you gotta do is make a battery for it and strap a solar panel
1 watt nodes are now economical. I bought 5. Will be thoroughly expanding the network greatly again
I have notes on SC2 for Wine, but haven’t played/tested since 2022 (everything looks good quick-glance but I think the WINEDLLOVERRIDES stuff was for a Bnet client workaround and not needed)
I was surprised with Debian 12.10 about a month ago; that’s the first distro that let me log-into Bnet without crash dialogue-spam in years! I have notes from Apr 14th with Diablo 3.
I’m thinking it’s more the Wine version (from WineHQ), but not even Fedora 41 or latest Ubuntu at that time could do it.
Unless something recently broke, I’m thinking Wine Staging from WineHQ on Debian 12 would have Bnet client working fine.
I haven’t picked back up on trying to get Starcraft 2 working yet, but I’ve been on a guacamole train. So many different tutorials, builds, caveats, nuances etc but found a tutorial that #justworked.
I’m sure there are a number that work, but I wanted to try in LXC first.
Success (might run into issues as I said “Yes” to TOTP install as I’d like to use that later.
Then following a technotim part to copy the admin account, change name, then delete original admin account.
Next, some kind of proxy setup with SSL (likely just keep going with that l linked tutorial as it has an nginx build) + finally using my domain again.
Note python=certbot-nginx is no longer, type instead:
sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx
OR
I might actually want to use a cloud service for this (rebuilt it using a network chuck tutorial or something) as I might want this thing using a more ‘understandable’ public IP address.
Goal is to host some software on a VM to access remotely that I otherwise just don’t have access to at a site.
