Is it normal for a bitcoin miner to keep hashing when there's no internet access? I guess it would make sense if it's designed to be a heater that mines bitcoin, but what about in the case of a purpose-built miner where the extra heat isn't necessarily desired? Do the pros have systems in place to prevent their miners from sitting there wasting electricity, or do they just have multiple sources of internet access?

My Gamma running balls out doesn't generate as much heat as the wife's work laptop, lid closed and unused WTF Bill Gates?!

Set up the wife with a Meshtastic node. She said we need to work on our marketing because "meshtastic node" sounds like bad news you'd get from a doctor after an x-ray 🤣

Not to rain on the celebration but I don't think Maduro was the reason my car has to have a front license plate.

Listening to first responder radio traffic while driving is a lot safer than trying to squint at colored lines in Google Maps. Depending on the frequencies used in your area, a $16 Baofeng and radioreference.com may be all you need.

It's 2026 and X expects me to create an account to watch a video one of its users swiped and uploaded from someone else's TikTok account 🤡

No shortage of Meshtastic how-to videos on YT but few that go into this much detail honestly covering both the good and bad. Mesh-anything by its nature needs mass adoption to be useful and speaking as my inner circle's designated 'interpreter' of "nerd stuff", in its current form this has almost zero chance of mass adoption by normies, even those who are into disaster prep. Based on my initial experience, MeshCore seems to have a better chance of achieving that goal and even that may be optimistic. Just one example: maybe I was overlooking something but never was able to figure out how to share channel settings by QR code from Android to iPhone, and it's awfully coincidental that all of the how-to videos I've seen always demo the reverse - sharing from iPhone to Android. I agree that Meshtastic is amazing when it works but not sure if that's due more to the fact it uses affordable low power hardware or because the setup process is enough to make you want to toss it all in the trash and buy a CB radio. Don't know the guy personally but wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Jack Dorsey's motivation to create his bitchat app came from test-driving Meshtastic.
