My Abuelo says:

  • he will not rewire things with the router

  • he wants me to find a way to create a Lemmy instance without Ethernet, just the regular Wi Fi connection without a router or anything.

This rules out what I was going to use, Yunohost. While I have the USB, I don’t have the router (it’s full), switch, or Ethernet Cable and Abuelo doesn’t want to buy one nor does he want me to buy one.

He thinks it’d be less time consuming if I found a way to self-host without that stuff, just through Wi-Fi, and I don’t know how to program.

    Get a Raspberry Pi. Newer models have wi-fi. Then you can host all kind of stuff. As long as it is for your own use, you don’t need that much computing power. As far as software is concerned, the type of physical connection doesn’t matter. Wi-fi stability can be excellent or it can be super frustrating. Depending on your circumstance.

    Get one and try it. Learn by doing.
