If people are showing off a lab. My lab always sparks a conversation. I wanted to prove I could beat twilio's texting rates. https://i.imgur.com/gKknrJn.jpg

Care to share more details? Interested in the software stack, and what you use it all for.

This is really intriguing.

I'm currently running a SFF machine as a server, and thought about adding some Pi devices to play around with a local kubernetes cluster.

Do you use this commercially?

The problem with texting rates isn't technical, it's that carriers essentially have a cartel and can set prices however they want, and have tools to detect and prevent such "abuse" of their cheap consumer plans for commercial usage.

I have that for a long time :) mine: http://194.126.207.20/

Right on. :) I like your use of video at https://cyfrowynomada.eu/

Thanks!

I found this trick to make vimeo videos "seamless" just as gifs back in the days. It's surprisingly not distracting yet super vivid :)

So if you're doing the Digial Nomad thing, where do you stash the server?

I have my base in Poland. And those times I'm less of a nomad due to many things including some virus in the air.

Do you use this commercially? "and have tools to detect and prevent such abuse" "it's that carriers essentially have a cartel and can set prices however they want" <- yes. Carrier to carrier is where things are interesting. Sprint gets quickly blocked by ATT for example. But, wow, a UNLIMITED TEXT plan is pretty cheap...

It was a fun project - but I wouldn't use old cellphones. Having these old cellphones plugged in all day - basically just made the batteries enlarge and broke the casing. But you can get old android phones for nothing -- even cheaper than a raspberry pi.

I have simple note server[1] running on raspberry pi. I want it to be accessible from Internet but my ISP uses double NAT and theirs no other way around it. :/ [1] : https://github.com/quaintdev/pinotes

Like the other poster says, I have cheap vps which I connect to from my home machine using wireguard. The vps instance forwards Internet requests down the wireguard tunnel to my machine.
