Are the not the same ?

The issue with any mast is wherevto put it and who it helps or not. Thinking not in my back yard ideas electrosencibility etc.

Orange wanted to put one in our village, great idea as we would get paid for its position, and get better service. But the next village got the info so wanted it in there carpark. In the end orange are going to put it on the roundabout between us and the local council gets the funds.

No. Fixed wireless is like this. We have a device on our roof. It communicates with a tower on a hill about 1Km distant. The tower serves all our neighbours within line of sight of the tower. The tower then links to internet with fibre. The link belongs to the house, you cant move it. It carries our landline phone and internet traffic. You can also use it to receive a TV broadcast signal.

Mobile phones are non-fixed… ie you can move them around between towers.

The point of fixed wireless is it replaces cables or is cheaper than laying cables over long distances. In some cases they use infrared technology instead of wireless.

Ok follow that now. They tried that near where I lived before but it was slow and un reliable so quickly dropped but that was 15 years ago and technology moves so quickly

I have a newer version of my Tech News RSS Aggregator site.

There are many changes and it is hosted on my newer computer. Feel free to check it out anytime. It should always be on.

It’s a Python app running the Robyn web framework. I have NGINX proxying for it. Then it is exposed using a Tailscale Funnel, thus the funny URL.

All three of those services are setup as systemd units with auto restart. So, it should always be available when my computer is on, which is almost all the time.

My next tweak, I think, is to run the Python app and NGINX in a container using Podman. Then run that as a service via a systemd unit.

You can choose which of the RSS feeds you want to look at if you like. It’s Foss is one of them.

It looks beautiful. Unfortunately, the 2nd link leads to an empty, nonworking page.

Discourse breaks the link trying to make it pretty. There is an escaped apostrophe in the URL and it is converted to a real apostrophe which breaks it.

I wrapped it in a link tag so it would leave it alone.

Thanks for taking a look.
