I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, enjoy live music and travel, and practice sarcasm.

  • So the iwconfig command is what ultimately showed me the connected state of the wlan0 interface, confirming that it was connecting to the correct SSID.

    I did some a bunch of NC/map tests between the Pi and devices on both the main and guest networks, and have determined that the Deco X55 Pro is decidedly too consumer-grade (despite the Pro branding) to work for me. The guest network is using device isolation, so guest network devices can’t see each other.

    So I’m looking for alternative routers with multi-Gig lan and wan connections that will let me and will run the Deco nodes in AP mode.








  • I think it’s worked well for what it aims to be. I’ve mostly used the official app (Android) but also tried out Fedilabs. My main complaint isn’t really for the Pixelfed, but rather in Fediverse itself needing me to have a different account on each platform, rather than a Fediverse account I can use from all platforms. I know I can technically do a SAML login to Pixelfed with my Mastodon account, haven’t tried it yet, but I assume it wouldn’t work like truly using a common account. Like I imagine posts on Pixelfed aren’t there linked as posts my Mastodon profile.
