That’s strange. Please let me know what you find out.

This is a great idea, thank you!

I had issues searching for Lemmy communities until I updated my docker-compose to give the “lemmy” container it’s own network.

“Returns to normal”… minus one user.

I had to work out all of the issues myself to get it working on my RaspberryPi 4. For this error, did you add a network to your “lemmy” container that would allow it access to the internet?

I’m still using 0.17.3, btw. I haven’t checked if 0.17.4 for arm64 is out yet.

I’d love to have an OLED tv. I just need a good reason to get one. The tv I have now works just fine (unfortunately).

Oh, so you have a main router for internet traffic (wifi access for extended router and other devices) and another router extended from it that both your VR headset and PC connect to for VR-type data communication, still providing internet to the PC with about half the bandwidth?

I was having issues searching as well until I added a network to the docker-compose and then adding it to my lemmy image.

networks:
  lemmybridge:

services:
  lemmy:
    networks:
      - lemmybridge

I feel like a good name around me would be “FreePublicWifi”. Can you get in trouble for naming it something like “[city name]WifiNetwork”?

That sounds promising. Thanks for the numbers. I’m planning to put the second router under their rooms, so I would think that one set of flooring shouldn’t be too bad.

Your setup sounds very interesting to me. If I wasn’t so obsessed with writing code, I would have been deep into hardware. I imagine that it will become a hobby of mine when I hit my midlife crisis. I’ll be buying up all kinds of hardware, quiting my job, and connecting everything to everything.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion. I appreciate the link too.

I assume you had a hardline from the VR router to the central router? Otherwise wouldn’t the wireless communication between the VR router and the central router be in the same competition as the VR headset was before?

Maybe for Halloween, I could be “Internet Man”.

I bet it’s compatible and they don’t get punished for lying. All they have to say is “Oh, it looks like it IS compatible after all.”

That’s an interesting idea. How do you access the router connected to the ISP to setup port forwarding to your second router? If it’s too complicated to type out here, I’ll understand.

That would be a great thing to setup at an airport (somewhere people sit around for hours, bored). So long as it’s done to advertise your music and not to be malicious. I’m assuming your music isn’t “Nails on a chalkboard” or “A baby crying”, that could both be music and malicious.

I’ll look into that, thanks.

That makes sense. I just hope that it’s good enough for YouTube.

If we can at least do that (do simple web crawling and watching YouTube), that’d be enough for me. Thanks for sharing your experience.
