Just ordered a €22 LilyGO LoRa32 v2.1 to act as a RNode digital radio transceiver to connect to the #Reticulum Network.

Been experimenting with Sideband app on a couple of phones. Utilises Reticulum Network Stack to create cryptographically secure mesh networks, useful in disaster areas. Can also see many outdoor world applications for this. When I understand the protocol further I might add a Rnode modem which creates a LoRa signal to extend the mesh. LoRa encodes information on radio waves. Early days yet for me but fascinating and interesting technology.

Last night I started reading "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Shoshana Zuboff which looks to be a fascinating, topical and insightful read. Anybody read it? #books #reading

Took delivery today of a Jelly Star phone (Unihertz). Only a 3" screen but a real pocket rocket of a phone, costing just €200 & weighing only 116 grams. 48mp camera, 8mb ram & 256gb storage. Sturdy & well made it's small size means it easily fits in a pocket. Installed a simplified launcher (Niagara) to help digital detox. Going to be my main daily driver for calls, chats & navigation. Social media & all other apps remain on my original phone. #technology #Mobiles #phones

GM Nostr. Anybody know of a good privacy respecting alternative to gboard for swipe text input? #grownostr

Its Facebook Leaving Day! 🎉 🥳 Haven't been that involved for many years but have had to keep a presence for corporate reasons. No longer! I had been using web browsers to view/post as I refused to install their app on any device. What finally broke my resilience was the fact in the last few days they made the web browser route unusable for me. Deliberately IMO. I guess to force the app on me? Feels good. Have a great weekend everyone. #grownostr

What client would people recommend for producing long-form #nostr posts?

Time for an #introduction. For 15+ years I've survived without Microsoft and Apple. Now it's time to de-Google, de-X and de-Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) my life and head for pastures new and exciting.

I don't ever regret utilising and repurposing the swimming pool as a greenhouse. I'm not much of a water baby and swimming pools take a lot of maintenance. How much better to use that water to grow fresh produce. Satisfying. #garden #growyourown #homesteading #selfsufficiency

Excellent post for those emerging out of the gloom. I also like the way you are using #nostr as a blogging platform.
