Calmly and intelligently explaining the reasons private gun ownership is beneficial and necessary has done precious little to preserve the right. It will be no different for the defense of personal privacy. The solution to government attempts to erode personal privacy is two-pronged: 1) build tools to protect privacy, and 2) poison the hearts of the people against government secrecy If no privacy for us, then no secrecy for you. Full stop. God bless the leakers and whistleblowers, especially the ones who've been persecuted for it.

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.

Why, did YT put the 0.5X button behind a paywall? 🤣 No matter how bad things get, Ben will always be able to find work as an auctioneer or the side-effects reader in a pharma ad 🤣 View quoted note →

Avalon mini 3 has a mining mode that uses full power and fan speed, and a heat mode that uses less power but because it runs at a slower fan speed, the unit itself gets significantly hotter and doesn't circulate air well in the room. Not sure if I should run it in mining mode (ignoring the 80% rule) or heater mode with a desk fan blowing on it to help move heat. Also tried to update the firmware and it just kept throwing E-01 error.

There's a lot I still don't understand about Meshtastic and MeshCore but I assume there's a good reason that mesh-related discussion needs to take place on a centralized social media platform as opposed to just using the mesh?

What the heck is DLR talking about? I've looked all over this Christmas stocking and don't see a line running up the back. Is he talking about the stitching? 🤣

I'm literally in awe sometimes at how self-sovereign some folks are (assuming they're not just larping or trying to sell you something). It's like, you mean your cars never break down, kids and pets don't get sick, appliances don't die? If someone's got the freedom to suddenly put everything on hold every time their Lightning Node or Nostr client craps the bed, they don't need Bitcoin to hit $1M. They've already won at life.
