  • was listening to a podcast last year where they talked about the projections the year before of who would be best for carbon emissions, Kamala Harris or Trump, and it was basically a tie. I didn’t realise the benefit to Pakistan (and Australia, where we basically got solar panels for free for the last few years thanks to government incentives too), was largely attributable to his first term policies. I’m sure he’d really hate to know he’s actually an environmental hero at this point 😂


  • I have a vehicle that uses Chademo, and at bigger rural charging stations, there are usually 3+ ccs chargers for the 1 Chademo. I expect most build out from here to focus on ccs, and there is the tech to convert ccs to Chademo so I’ll not be left with an un road-trip-able vehicle, so appreciate while you think they are useless, the majority of investment now is increasing ccs.

    Good to hear SA is doing good work here, and disappointed VIC sucks on that stretch. There are charging deserts even closer to Melbourne over East too and that sucks.

    agree about most the other points especially queuing for chargers. hope that comes!




  • Meshcore in Australia is taking off and recently made the first Victoria - Tasmania link. Long distance comms are viable within state with many hops - if you are within range of a repeater hooked into the existing network is possible to go hundreds of kilometres quite easily. We have people participating in synchronous conversations that are occurring over a dozen hops from regional to inner urban anew back again. Yes messages do sometimes get lost but people are creating tools to troubleshoot and track. It’s genuinely doing what I had originally hoped Meshtastic would, but could never get messages far enough due to hop limits and telemetry cruft.
