Never had any issues with the unit. As mentioned I have an old 4x4 with an aftermarket head unit (Sony XAV-AX5000) and have never experienced any audio issues. This car is our family "adventure vehicle" so we use it for long road trips and camping adventures - in short when it gets driven it's often for a longer multi-hour journey, with music playing the whole way

No stress, glad I pointed you down a hopefully workable path. Good luck mate 😉 And yes the US tax. Purchased mine from Amazon US, I'm down in Australia. Even with the higher cost it has been an absolute joy even with my single-phone use case.

I haven't tried the multiple phone song and dance on the unit. It lives in my old 4x4 which my wife refuses to drive.

We do have a similar issue with our other car however '05 Subaru Forester (non Android Auto). It randomly connects phones - as in I can be sitting in the car, start up to go somewhere and the car connects to my wife's phone while she and it are in the house. The only reliable option I've found (only practical if we're both in the car) is to quickly tap Bluetooth off on one phone before starting the car. If your Honda is starting with a Bluetooth connection, then I'm guessing the same solution should work.

Screenshots of the config screen attached. I'm not connected to the unit right now, hence the error message.

Get the AAWireless instead 😉

Was a genuine challenge. I ended up purchasing a copy for my whole family so everyone can use it.

Threema

Where Signal is secure - Threema is private and secure (e2e encrypted, uses PFS but doesn't need your phone number for sign ups. You can be 100% anonymous should you wish)

Started on lemmy.ml, when they were experiencing some performance issues I decided to "be distributed" away from one of the main instances. Decided on one geographically in my home country.

Great recommendation on AnonAddy. I know what I'll be seeing up tonight.

Have one. My email address is firsname@firstnamesurname.com. I work in tech so it really seems to generate the right impression on my resume.

 

Hi all, a shout-out for assistance. I'm considering hosting a Lemmy instance (assuming I can pass the wife test on costs) and I'm looking for some guidance on specs.

Can anyone who's currently hosting an instance (or who knows the inner workings of one) please reply with:

  • specs on the hardware / VPS that's hosting your instance
  • how many users / posts that's supporting
  • what the system load looks like with the above
  • if locally hosting, the type of bandwidth requirements you're seeing

Thank you!!
