Updated the way I build `i2pd` to now include the `i2pd_tools` binaries. Building all from scratch and ensuring I layer things properly (in the Docker image) for maximum efficiency during build-time.

Attempting to build the LadyBird browser now... #ladybird

Busy deploying `rngit` now... #reticulum #git

I'm cloning a Git repository over LoRa with Reticulum. This is massive. #reticulum #git #mesh #networking

"This week, we witnessed the unedifying spectacle of Naledi Pandor attacking Akademia, an independent Afrikaans-medium university founded by the Solidarity Movement. Akademia is using private funds to build a massive campus in Pretoria East estimated to cost up to R3.2 billion. Somehow this is unacceptable to Pandor, a former minister of education, who during a podcast interview called for the government to use its regulatory power to shut Akademia down. In response to Pandor’s diatribe, Solidarity Movement chairperson Flip Buys noted cooly: “They're looking for a lightning rod for their own failures. So, we won't pay any attention to her. We're going full steam ahead.” Buys has the right attitude."

I spent this week Dockerizing Hydra, the advanced meter infrastructure (AMI), that I am developing at iPay. Normally I wear the systems architect hat and I'm deep in the trenches coding but this time round I was doing more of an operations task. Hydra and the testing apparatus Webdemo, are all done. The next item was Postgres and BizSwitch (a product that existed a few years after I was born). It's still a work in progress but is near completion now. These are some of the lessons I learnt whilst hand-rolling these images (Docker is a passion of mine). 🗞️ Read it here:

"The settlers claim they are justified in their actions because Jews are the true, exclusive owners and sovereigns of the area and therefore have the right to exclude and expel members of other groups. This kind of ethno-nationalist claim to exclusive territorial rights is far from unique to Israeli settler extremists. All sorts of nationalist movements make similar claims - including, of course, many Arab and Palestinian nationalists. But the ubiquity of such claims cannot justify them. In my book Free to Move, and other writings, I have argued that racial and ethnic claims to exclusive territorial rights are inherently unjust for much the same reasons as racial and ethnic discrimination is unjust in other contexts: race and ethnicity are morally arbitrary characteristics that should not determine what rights people have, including where they are allowed to live and work."

Good. It's weird to live constantly surveiled by a single entity. Especially if (and this is unconfirmed) the townsmen were never asked about whether they wanted this. View quoted note →

Cut these down today and my mom cooked them. This was some tasty baby spinach (espinafre/epinard). #planting #homestead

Doesn't look like it is AI (slop) coded either! #reticulum View quoted note →

Fixed thus guy from wobbling around. One of the U-brackets is rusted and I thought it may have been that. However, I saw that the tripod mounting point, one of the 3, was loose. So I tightened that. Change the most obvious stuff first and then move on. The U-bracket looked tight enough anyways, but the tripod mount was defs moving a lot. #wireless #hardware

Hoping mine will grow once summer comes round. No tomatoes yet but long purple stalks with no leaves. Still cold and wet here. View quoted note →
