I believe the only part of Meshcore that’s not FOSS is the official app, and there’s a FOSS alternative.

Personally, I’d use Meshcore. I tried MT for a month or so. I never saw a conversation, just a few scattered “test” messages. Meanwhile, on MC, I was away from my phone for 4 hours yesterday and came back to 250+ coherent messages in a conversation from all over the region (not to mention the hundreds of test messages).

MT is better in ad-hoc situations since clients can repeat messages.

Mesh also allows you to use encryption.

And both use LoRa which is proprietary.

I thought it was neat and installed it, but I had no specific use cases.

It came in handy when I was trying to combine a bunch of PDFs a few weeks later. Then I used it again to remove some pages from another PDF. I like having it around

I’ve been having issues for a while too.

I’ve always called it the Daily Heil.

They kinda liked the Nazis.

I’ve got a bunch of notes in Trilium.

I have a note for each service with the docker compose file, notes on backups, any weirdness with the setup, and when I update each service.

I also have a note for the initial setup of my server (mostly setting up docker, setting up mergerfs and snapraid).

Other than that, I have one note for each device for my setup. (Wifi AP, OPNsense router, switch, etc) That I populate with random crap I might need to know later.

Damn that’s a sexy plane. Delta wing and canards? Hell yeah.

One shitty EV they co developed with Subaru.

The only controversies I’ve seen regarding bikes I’ve seen as a city dwelling American, are bikes not following the rules of the road.

People get upset when bikes run red lights/stop signs, ride the wrong way on streets or paths, or go way too fast on shared pedestrian paths, especially if they don’t have a bell or horn of some kind.

E bikes get hate because they allow people to do 25 to 40 mph on pedestrian paths (where the speed limit is half of that or less). Where I live, lane splitting for motorcyclists is not legal, but E bikes do it relatively frequently. Motorists are not expecting a tiny, silent vehicle to go flying past their door at 30 mph when they’re stopped. And for some reason, most E bikes I’ve personally seen riding at night have no lights of any kind. I don’t want to hit someone in my car, and I don’t want to be hit by someone as a pedestrian, and it’s a hell of a lot harder to prevent that when you can’t see them.

I ride my bike on shared use paths and the street with lights and a bell. I follow the rules of the road, and I’ve never had any issues.

My dad would set up these awesome toy train tracks in the living room while I was asleep. His builds were orders of magnitude better than what my brother and I could do as 3 and 5 year olds. We’d wake up to a huge new layout every once in a while. We played with those trains nonstop for days. They were awesome.

I asked him about it recently, and he apparently has no recollection of doing that lol.

My network is named “Hot Signals In Your Area”. It used to be “Routers of the Lost Ark”. My guest network is “Guesty McGuestface”

Unfortunately, no one else in my building has anything creative.

I’ve seen “Leader Desslock”, “NSA_Hotspot”, “Wicked Evil Jowls”. In college someone in my dorm named their’s “Business Isn’t a Real Major”

This article is about software tools, not those other things.

Oh, but you can have TV still. Jellyfin

Forget printers. Windows screams about installing drivers when you plug in a mouse or USB drive half the time.

Here’s an hour long video about gas stoves. At about 29 minutes in, he looks at CO2 levels. The CO2 results are not brilliant to say the least .

If he keeps bathing in sewage, he’ll get sick eventually.

The bathrooms at SEA airport are unisex. They’re great! The toilet stalls are large and totally private. There’s a special urinal area too. I honestly don’t know why more places, especially big public places, aren’t unisex.

Here’s what I did: I bought a $50 Dell Optiplex desktop with a 4th generation Intel CPU on ebay. I stuffed in 3 HDDs from ServerPartDeals and a boot SSD I had laying around. This machine draws 50 to 60 watts continuously.

I got caddies for the HDDs from my local used computer parts store. I got 5.25 in to 3.5 in adapters from Amazon.

I added a 10 gig SFP+ card (which isn’t fully utilized since my network is mostly 2.5 Gig). Realistically, the onboard gigabit port is adequate.

I got a SATA PCIe card so I can add a 4th drive if needed.

I also bought a Nvidia Quadro P400 graphics card (similar to a GTX 1050, but half the price) for $30 on eBay for Jellyfin transcoding. I couldn’t get the onboard Intel GPU to play nice with Jellyfin.

Excluding the cost of the drives, this setup cost me about $130.

Tailscale works pretty well, but I usually use Wireguard to connect to my router remotely. I’ve had issues getting Tailscale to work well with my reverse proxy, but I suspect that’s a me problem rather than a Tailscale problem. I have OPNsense and Adguard running on an ancient Mac Mini that serves as my router. (If you follow this route, make sure you get a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter, not a USB one.)

It’s worth noting that the current outbreak that’s occurring north of Panama started prior to DOGE doing its bullshit. Apparently it began in 2022.
