Chatted with some other hams on #MeshCore and we all hopped on 2m FT8, which is usually dead silent around here. :P #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Maybe there are some strict rules for the construction project or maybe they just want to keep tabs on things. I have seen those only once or twice, in big cities. They never seem to be permanent, because after a while they disappear again. But I am half a globe away, so...


There are few things more cyberpunk than mesh and distributed networks. 🤔









Having to frequently apply eye ointment when you have long eyelashes and wear glasses is suffering. Constantly dirty glasses no matter how much you clean them! :(


Had to drop £8 to unlock repeater management features in the Ripple firmware. :( #MeshCore

sorry I misread. meshcore-open is a phone app that allows you to configure repeaters remotely. Which they make you pay for in the proprietary app or place arbitrary restrictions on if you don’t pay. there is a an open source alternative to ripple OS on T deck called aurora but I don’t think it includes remote config of repeaters. If you want to remotely manage repeaters without shelling out maybe use the phone app for that side of things. It would be a good feat to add to aurora though

I can't for the life of me get this stupid Heltec V4 #MeshCore repeater to connect over serial. I'm trying to reconfigure it (I can't use the Web flasher, devs! >:( ), but I can't get into it at all because it defaults to the EU band and I'm in the US. How do I get the thing to respond?

No change. :(

Okay, after reconfiguring my T-Deck+ to use the exact same settings that are displayed on the Heltec V4, it can find it. Thanks for the help. :3


Man, you really are SOL if you can't use the Web flasher. >:( #MeshCore

I sometimes have to use the flashing procedures from the chipset manufacturer when I do it manually.

i've built the firmware and used platformio to write it in my devices.




Trump is making China – not America – great again, global survey suggests
A year after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a global survey suggests much of the world believes his nation-first, “Make America Great Again” approach is instead helping to make China great again.

The 21-country survey for the influential European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank also found that under Trump, the US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies – particularly in Europe – feel ever more distant.

Most Europeans no longer see the US as a reliable ally and are increasingly supportive of rearmament, it found, while Russians now see the EU as more of an enemy than the US, and Ukrainians are looking more to Brussels than to Washington for support.

The poll, of nearly 26,000 respondents in 13 European countries, the US, China, India, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and South Korea, found majorities in almost every territory surveyed expected China’s global influence to grow over the next decade.

These ranged from 83% in South Africa, 72% in Brazil and 63% in Turkey through 54% in the US, 53% in 10 EU states and 51% in India to 50% in the UK. Most EU citizens expected China to soon lead the world in electric vehicles and renewable energies.

Moreover, few seemed concerned about it. The polling found that only in Ukraine and South Korea did majorities view China as a rival or an adversary, while more people in South Africa, India and Brazil saw China as an ally than they did two years ago.

"Sportbike Riders in Ellensburg"


I saw them zip by while I was taking photos of the Yakima River Canyon, and one of them said he saw me getting photos at the Clear Creek Falls Overlook. He told me they were taking a break from the crazy and gusty wind.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who bought a $100k+ pickup truck or SUV with financing because of the COVID stimulus checks they received. :/
