  • The link is currently dead, but it seems to be the official one.

    I couldn't access their crowdfunding page either, so maybe they're dead and gone?

    When searching for it, multiple sources mention there's a risk of it being a scam, but it's hard to tell:

    Update from 27 January 2025: Beware of possible fraud As user ElCanch0 writes in the comments of this article, there is a possibility that the Nexx or the upcoming crowdfunding campaign is a scam.

    On news.ycombinator.com, several critical voices point out inconsistencies. Raddish2 writes in the thread that the Liberux employees listed may not exist (he was unable to find any information online) and that the company address may be an ordinary residential building. The address given is not listed in the public cadastre, although Spain normally lists not only buildings but also their floor plans. However, user InceptTM points out that the people can at least be found on LinkedIn. Another user says that he asked around and found out that some people from the company were involved in the bank fraud of Rodrigo Rato, who was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in 2017.

    Another source (Liliputing.com) mentioning the possibility of it being a scam.

    It's also possible they just didn't reach their crowdfunding goals, and had to end the project.

    If anyone here knows more about this, I'm interested!

  • Also, repetitions are removed and some of the fluff (though sometimes a bit too much of the fluff has been removed according to some opinions I read once upon a time on reddit). To make up for it, replace the missing fluff with the stupidly long fluffy tail of content which this comment is now somehow turning into. Fluffing the fluff. And also, repetitions(!) are removed but also the fluff.

  • Regarding SDR, there's a variety of software for different purposes, but some good starting points I can think of are:

    Gqrx is great for receiving and listening. Other options are available.

    GNU Radio was used for making Gqrx. Maybe you could make something with it too? According to themselves, it is a free & open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in research, industry, academia, government, and hobbyist environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.

    There are also other applications made for encoding and decoding various digital modes, just like the SSTV apps for Android, but I don't remember their names right now. I remember that some of them work by decoding the demodulated audio (e.g. audio output from Gqrx or a signal from an external source) so for some of those you will probably need some audio routing software, as these are not made for the receiving or transmitting radio but just for encoding/decoding digital modes to/from audio.

    Since I've only had receivers, I'm unsure what the coolest software for modulation and transmission is, but here's at least something to get you started with SDR reception.

  • While you're looking for a radio and waiting for it to arrive, you could prepare yourself for further exploration of SSTV modes through these two apps on F-Droid:

    SSTV Encoder

    Robot36

    Running both at the same time, you can encode, transmit (as audio), receive and decode on the same device (or on two devices that can hear each other). You could also feed the audio output into the radio you're getting and transmit it over the air, or receive and decode other SSTV transmissions. When testing it over audio on local device(s), it's always good fun to distort the images (as if they weren't distorted enough already) by making weird noises over the audio signal, where different frequencies and amplitudes of course will result in different colors and patterns, depending on the mode etc.

    If you're into computers, you could even consider buying some SDR (Software Defined Radio) transceiver instead/too. It's basically a radio tuner you connect through USB and encode/decode through software, so you'll be able to encode and transmit from your devices, and to receive and apply DSP, decode digital modes, listen, record or whatever you want to do with it. Note that some (like RTL-SDR) can only receive but not transmit. I believe the HackRF does both, but it's been a while since I looked into it, and I've only ever had RTL-SDR-based receivers. There's a lot to look into here!

    Btw, have you considered searching for other local or competing options instead of going straight to Amazon for a ham radio – maybe even something used that does the job? I'm pretty sure there's plenty of used ham equipment to find on online second-hand marketplaces, ham radio groups on facebook, something related to the national member society representing your country at IARU or ask the members of some local ham radio club?

    I'll catch your SSTV transmission or something equally as cool some day, yo!

  • For public transit in many different countries, I used to rely on Transportr but since it's not being properly maintained and some countries stopped working, I've been relying on Öffi (Directions, Stations, Plans) instead. It presents the connections in a kind of time-based chart instead of a list, but I actually find it quite good after getting used to it.

  • Regarding pinning apps, you can add apps to Favorites by holding the app icon and tapping the ★ icon. On the homescreen, the pinned favorites can be shown and either sorted automatically by usage, or sorted manually to lock them in place on the screen. You can also do a mix of auto/manually sorted, so that the apps at the top are static while those below are dynamically changing.

    Another option is adding one or multiple tags to each app (hold the icon, tap the three dots, then Customize). After setting some tags, you can then tap the pen icon in the bottom right corner of the Favorites view, tap the first + to add a new tag to favorites. You can then switch between "folders"/"collections" of the pinned tags inside the favorites view.

  • Re-reading my previous comment, I think I gave you some incorrect information. Let me try again.

    If you want to use a VPN and stay/become connectable to peers in P2P apps such as torrent clients, you need one of the few VPNs that support port forwarding. So far, so good.

    However, I think I was wrong about the configuration. It's correct that you need to define a port number in your torrent client's settings, but when using a VPN, your router's port forwarding configuration is irrelevant, opposing to what I previously said. Instead, somewhere in your VPN's settings or when logged in on the VPN provider's website, you should set the same port number as in your torrent client. If the provider already assigned some port number to you, copy that to your torrent client config instead. Also look into how to bind your torrent client to your VPN so no traffic escapes if the VPN disconnects.

    The router admin dashboard is only relevant for traffic that doesn't go through the VPN, so probably irrelevant for your torrenting, and you can only forward ports if you have your own public IP, rather than a shared one (CGNAT). I don't know which you have or if you'll ever need one. Ask your ISP if you need a public IP for something on your network that doesn't go through the VPN, e.g. some game server. While some ISPs give every customer a public IP, others sell it as an add-on for a small monthly fee if the technology (e.g. fiber) allows it, but only some technologies do. But as I said, the router port config doesn't matter when torrenting through the VPN.

    Regarding SOCKS5, I found this description of it by in this blog post by ExpressVPN:

    A SOCKS proxy acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. Instead of your network packets being sent directly to their destination, they are first routed through the proxy server. The proxy then forwards those requests on your behalf, replacing your IP address with its own.

    So no, it's not. From some quick searches, it seems possible use a SOCKS proxy from your VPN provider for your torrent client in order to hide your real IP from other peers, but since I can't find any proof of port forwarding being possible through such a proxy, this probably wont make you connectable...

  • Then what you need is a VPN that supports port forwarding. There are very few, but I bet you can find a thread somewhere on Lemmy discussing the options you have. Then, if I'm not mistaken, you still need to know/set the port number in your torrent client and config the router correctly, probably through its admin site which you'll find on the router's IP in the browser. If you don't know the login (and admin/admin doesn't work) you can find the default credentials by searching the web for your router model number + admin login. When logged in, you can set new admin login credentials if you don't want other users of your local network to be able to access or change the config settings.

    Jump

  • Check the open port number of your torrent client – which should also be set in your router's port forwarding or firewall config (alternatively enable UPnP in the router config to let it handle such things for you).

    You can use a utility like CanYouSeeMe.org to check if it's correctly configured.

    EDIT If you can't make it work, you might be behind double NAT, sharing varying IPs with multiple other of the ISP's customers at once. In that case, you'll need to find one of the few trustworthy VPN providers that support port forwarding to get connectable, as it's called, and be able to connect to all peers no matter if they're connectable or not. Alternatively, rent a connectable seedbox in the cloud.

  • r/TV_NCA on reddit has such things... Though, that one is a members-only subreddit, so you will need a reddit account to get approved by a mod of the sub. I read somewhere that they'll accept most membership requests - but only if the account has some karma...

    The private torrent tracker TVCUK has it too.

    I also saw a filehost link posted on a private Discord server - which is a different annoying obstacle in itself, and I'm not sure if I should share more details about that server in a public comment like this, though it is really great for UK, AU, NZ stuff. Though, if you can join r/TV_NCA a lot of the same stuff is available there too.
