BoscoPersonal messages stop being sent after a while, only after a service restart or a Pi reboot. However, the other RIGS messages are always sent. I've seen in the log that the message is coming from DAPNET but isn't being sent. #DAPNET #POCSAG #PiStar

MMDVM Hotspot hat for a Raspberry Pi is what we mainly use in the ham world for this kind of situation
You would need a board that could support duplex
You would have to set-up a private host so that it doesn't connect to any ham networks
Private channels are a thing so no need to worry about that
Pistar or WSPD is the os for the Pi
Getting pmr to work would need analog FM mode but with a bit of effort this could be achieved

thiccpaws#PiStar should have a wide screen mode for the dashboard, so that it takes advantage of today's displays. I'm sure there is a theme or css hack or something, but I can't be arsed looking.
Wiktor Przybylski SQ9WTFHello fellow hams - what are your favourite YSF rooms to stay on, lurk and listen? It could be fun to have a common room for fedi fellows :D 
lore: i bought Yaesu FT5D for aprs functionality, but recently grown up to not hate on internet-based HAMing on that particular matter and bought a mmdvm hotspot - now i want to get some inspiration 
Ed W8EMV My Pi-Star hotspot has a read-only filesystem by default. It runs Tailscale, which really wants a read/write filesystem.
Fixed by spending a minute every 100 days manually logging in to the hotspot and setting the filesystem as read/write and then starting Tailscale.
Maybe fixable: #systemd unit to set filesystem as read/write before it launches Tailscale? Unlikely to take less than a minute every 100 days to debug this.
cc @tailscale
emvtwo options for #tailscale on a read-only filesystem, specifically for #pistar
1 dink with systemd to make it log and keep secrets somewhere rw
2 dink with the filesystem so it's not ro anymore
3 manually log in once every 100 days to upgrade and reboot and set things up right
3 is easiest if I remember how
noted for future reference
Nick (Alatar the Blue)I normally run a duplex hotspot on a Pi Zero W - today that didn't seem to want to work on the fly, so I went drawer scavanging and found an old Raspberry Pi B+ (yup, no version number - it's the 2014 version). It works, amazingly, but MAN is the web dashboard slow. #AmateurRadio #DMR #pistar
