(Part 2) Best products from r/darknetplan

This looks consistent with what my own investigation in preforming the same project led me. I have a similar plan, but need a more suitable antenna. This lead me to looking for an omnidirectional. I looked at several comparable antennas to the one you found. I found them slightly cheaper on Amazon (crap, there was a 15dBi somewhere, this is a 12).
When expanding again, you should note that you can get a 8dBi outdoor omni for less than half the price. Don't forget you likely need a pigtail to convert to SMA

• This nice connector chart should be helpful.
  
  My project is intended to provide an offline Wikipedia mirror, TeamSpeak (chat and VIOP), Friendica (Facebook clone), Gallery3 (image host), and anything else I can think of.

I was going to suggest getting amateur radio licensure, as it can be cheap and a fun hobby to get into anyway. Ham radios allow higher transmission power (better range) than non-licensed radios, and the frequency bands are probably less busy than the non-licensed (FRS and GMRS) ones would be on a cruise ship.

As it turns out, though, the rules for operating a ham rig in international waters are complicated, to say the least. So, uh, never mind.

Yea, it kind of seems like most of us would help the planet by not existing, but I saw something else. Imagine if the world population was now reaching its peak in 2013, but at one billion people instead of 7+. Consumption, pollution, and environmental damage were still growing, but not at toxic levels like they are now. This civilization would not have to learn the lessons we do. They have time. But in the future, the day would still come when they reach disastrous levels. I think I understand what you mean by not knowing what you can do, because it seems like more people is just part of the problem. But beyond the negative impact of just another consumer, we are here to teach us all that the way we've been living is reaching a breaking point. It's not bad that there's overpopulation, it's perfect, because now we have to learn these lessons and evolve. And we can start leading by example by living a lower consumption lifestyle, and showing people we are just as happy.

About the automated and job stuff, I'm also trying to wrap my head around it, stuff like Farewell to Growth, The End of Work. I think once everyone is on board with cooexisting with the environment and lower consumption, we'll be able to handle the questions that come with it, about how we are to live when not everyone has a job.

Actually just did a search for gel cell batteries on Google. The battery mentioned is a retail replacement for a game camera, and I think we can probably do better from Newark, Mouser or DigiKey. FWIW, it was on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Game-Innovations-eDRENALINE-Rechargeable/dp/B0031AUPOC

I'm currently reading this one as a part of the Networks module I'm taking: http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networks-Edition-Andrew-Tanenbaum/dp/0130661023 two hundred pages through and still find it quite interesting.

Here's an example device:


"Android 4.0 mini pc"

And a little about it in laptopmag.com

I haven't read anyone championing Android OS as a secure operating system, so I'm not entirely sure how I sit there. With a little bit of work I'm sure it can't be too complicated to flash the hardware with a Debian.

This problem is easy to fix with a pair of these.

Personally I like the TP-Link N750 which is available on amazon for $64. The Archer C7 has faster wireless speeds but it's wireless chipset isn't supported so well by OpenWRT, so just pick the cheaper one.

You'll get shivers if you read this book:

Then consider the implications of this post.

Still cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WR702N-Wireless-Repeater-150Mpbs/dp/B007PTCFFW/

and actually has ethernet/usb

What about this thing?

Here's a basic example of one of ubiquiti's equipment.

Aren't you guys referring to the 703N with USB? The 702N doesn't have a usb port. http://www.amazon.com/TL-WR703N-Firmware-Portable-Wireless-Supplied/dp/B00MLSCD0Y/

Edit: and the 703n is confirmed working on the wiki where the 702n is not: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n

edit context: -error37 is referring to the 702n, omicronNine is correcting him, and Noel_Lo took "that device" to refer to the WRTNode.

How much do you think i'll need? They also have a 6000 with more stuff

Nice... The controller you posted is unavailable, but a newer version is offered on Amazon.

Goin' Rogue. Heh.

second question. yes. you will need an n-type antenna. I recommend this for your project: http://www.amazon.com/Engenius-Outdoor-High-Antenna-EAG-2408/dp/B000VIA4CA

about the 1 mile question. Not likely at all. You can add power to "yell" your signal louder from the WAP but your reception is limited to the size and style of your antenna. that Engenius antenna will work for maybe a block reliably. You can extend your range by having equivalent antennas on both sides of the connection.
