It allows us to make a mesh network (interconnected nodes where you can contact a node even if it's not in range for you, by using other nodes) with Lora radio devices. Lora is slow but has long range. I think it works better when you have line of sight, like if someone can put a node on a mountain, it would help everyone.
I think people might have sent audio with it but it's mostly useful for text messages. It could be useful if the Internet is down, maybe, but it's more like a toy.
Clickbait title. Just say it's meshtastic.
Don't forget Chinese corner cutting. You probably have to knock 25% off of that if you want infrastructure of a level of quality and safety tolerable to Westerners.
Is that a thing? It sounds a bit like some bullshit propaganda from here. China = bad.
I wonder if Keet with every be open sourced. They still are missing a lot of features that I personally find important like trying notification, read receipt.
I wish xmpp was p2p. I can self-host but it could be way simpler if people didn't have to.
When I complained about it, Matrix told me that my public complaints were hurting the ecosystem and I should be quiet.
Weird. I think they did some improvement to prevent those abusive messages but it took a while and it was embarrassing. Maybe it's hard to prevent them with a federated network but still, the abusive messages where basically a copy paste.
I watched Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space (2002) this week in preparation to see Tamala 2030: A Punk Cat in Dark on Sunday.
It was pretty weird and I had to watch a YouTube video to help me understand a bit more. I still liked it though, the music was great, there was some good visuals and I prefer watching weird shit over boring Hollywood regurgitation.
I like that I'm able to use keepassxc as a keyring on Linux. I like that there is a prompt on access so no rogue script can real my whole keyring.
Falcon BMS is pretty nice. It's like 5$ and the latest version just got out.
I don't know. It's the same for me but I got a pretty bad reception. The only time I saw some messages was when someone was sending some from a plane, so I guess it was a special occasion.
