funnymonkeyFor these docs, I created two versions: a short version that just gives sequence and steps, and a longer version that provides more details and background.
The process can be completed in around 30-45 minutes.
The short version: https://www.funnymonkey.com/2025/02/using-raspap-to-use-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-router-the-quick-version/
The full version: https://www.funnymonkey.com/2025/02/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-travel-router-using-raspap-full-documentation/
The full version includes an appendix on hardware, including links to more information on wireless network adapters in Linux.

Migrated over from mastodon.social - interested in/talk about privacy, security, tech, education, food, research, testing (both edu and technical), misinformation, and other stuff, in any order.

I'm also interested in big problems and new and interesting mistakes.
funnymonkeyHow about billions of people can keep their old pictures and a few thousand oligarchs give up their private planes?
