Doing TROMjaro work from the motorhome :) forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…

This is the first time I get to "properly" use this space for doing some more hardware and internet intensive work. We live in a motorhome from now on for those who do not know. This is it:

We have 650W of solar panels:

Internet satellite and 2 lithium batteries, each of around 1.000W. The download internet speed is quite good, some 20-30 real Mb per second, but upload max at about 1 ...

So, to download the updates to create the ISO is no problem. To compile the ISO itself, also not an issue because we have a lot of power. But to upload 2 ISOs, each of around 4.7Gb was really time consuming. So much so I had to leave the Internet and Laptop on over night.

But it worked and they uploaded. They only ate 30% of our battery capacity overall. Something we can easily put back with solar this next day.

This is our view from a really nice parking lot for motorhomes where you get free water and water disposal facilities :)

We can also charge one of our batteries while we drive with like 500W so in 2 hours we can fully charge one of our batteries just from driving, and we plan to drive for almost 2 hours today.

Therefore, the test was great! Because even if the upload speeds are shit, I can leave the laptop overnight to upload large files.

We have a Peertube channel where we try to upload videos from our adventures - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…
