I used to do that but I find the UX of that quite annoying because before you can do: systemctl status and see what's up with all the system services. Now you have to do systemctl status -M <user-for-that-stack> for every stack that you're running to get a complete picture.

I haven't found a way around that and would be very thankful for pointers.

We do this in Arch Linux. It requires someone handling the registrations which isn't great either.

Is there a reason to use 9p over virtiofs in this case? It looks to me as though virtiofs was made exactly with the idea to deal good performance.

You could try running rustic on your repository. It should be a drop-in for restic and maybe it's faster? I would actually be very interested in this. Would be great if you could do that and report back.

I did this once as a small experiment. Basically use a small TCP stack with LoRa as layer 1 and then expose the whole thing as a Linux kernel module. It was a bit shitty but it seemed promising.

For some reason, I don't find LoRaWan at all alluring. As far as I can tell, in the end it's in the hands of one company and that really defeats the spirit for me. I mostly just use LoRa for point-to-point connections with my own shitty networking stack.

You're looking LoRaWan which is not the same as LoRa. In fact I believe web browsing to be quite feasible if you just use LoRa with your own network stack.

Haven't used it yet, I'm a bit too scared to put something like this into production anywhere. I might do a small installation with a toy project somewhere, though. Seems easy enough to set up.

Sadly their enclosure isn't open source. I asked the support for technical details and apparently they are not allowed to share them. It's a bit weird that their open hardware policy doesn't extend to all their stuff.

Please make a bug report about how we can improve the package if you have the time. I'll see that it's taken care of, then.

I'm running the H3+ right now and I can tell you that I'm booting plain UEFI with a plain Arch Linux and no special stuff required at all. The firmware received 2 updates so far in 3 months.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. How do you receive government documents or other things which are often delivered via snail mail?

Well in Arch we have the drivers in testing with an extended period to give users a chance to report issues. You can already get them and help us test! We'll likely move them next week.
