I've extensively used Osmand off-line during my overlanding trips, from Cape Town to Europe across west Africa and from Czechia to Mongolia. Why reinvent the wheel?

This is quite common in countries that have regulated exchange rates. From some I've visited, Angola and Iran even had websites with the black market rate, while in Turkmenistan I had to rely on public wisdom.

I used tc, CAKE and ifb for a small ISP router-on-a-stick implementation (around 2000 end-users) and it did wonders with the limited bandwidth I had to work with (around 3Gbps). More simple to configure than HTB, no more playing around with

I went on a 84 or 87 hours (with a 3 hour layover in the middle) train trip which in 2018 was around 114 EUR, from Irkutsk to Moscow and it was not such a nice experience. I found that people like to romanticize transsyberian train journeys
