My go-to for low power consumption is a Chromebook running some vanilla flavor of Linux. I have some HP units that will run for almost a day on battery with the lid closed. $25<$250.

You wouldn't be "broadcasting" with it, you'd just be using it as backhaul.

AREDN users would probably be pretty happy to have a node at 1500' in the Verdugos.

Why do you need a studio?

If this is completely non-commercial and you have an amateur license you could probably use AREDN as a backhaul instead of HaLow. We've gotten wifi going from a panel in Elysian up to Wilson on AREDN.

100w from the Verdugos should be pretty substantial. I regularly make 70cm FM contacts on 446.500 from Elysian Park down to San Diego at 5w.

I can think of several taco trucks that are going to do just fine.

FreeBSD has had a hard time supporting Intel Thinkpads, and they're making progress at getting better. Supporting Apple arm64 is a much heavier lift than that.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and offer: whatever it is that you are, it isn't "confused."

I feel that it's hard to be mad at Go if you look at it as "python 4.0."

I've been running a Prosody server for a month or so. Thus far a positive experience.

"Modern" is the most passive-aggressive adjective in the history of HN.
