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…

This will be our home and it will take us to many new places, meeting many new people and projects. We will talk to people about TROM, try to organize talks and meetings, volunteer for all sorts of...

in reply to Kellen • •So far we have not experienced any weather extremes. Well now we have been through a storm and the temperature goes as low as 0 Celsius, almost freezing. But that is rare and only at night. We have a heater that was part of the motorhome and does wonders. It works on propane and since the motorhome is so small it heats it up really well.
For example now outside it feels like 1 Celsius and feels like it is snowing (that kinda of rain in between rain and snow) :), but inside there are around 22 degrees with the heater at half power. Super comfy inside.
For the summer we will probably need to put some vents or even an AC unit.
