Oh no, you!

Obligatory: Your choice of Linux distro is awful. I don’t know which one it is you’re running, but someone will rip on you for it either way.
Other than that, great to have you onboard. Some tidbits:


Vatnik bot OP aside: Not really. But Orban is sucking up to Russia, so vatniks promote him in an effort to seed a split in Europe. And Orban needs it, as his unpopularity makes his reelection this April difficult. He’s been trying the strongman playbook for quite a few years, but he didn’t have much actual muscle to back it up.


Reported? Check! Vatnik bots aren’t welcome.


Imma have to do some research into how to build a viable mountain solar node, then. It’ll only be physically accessible during summer and in nice weather. Maybe I can hack together something that updates the firmware via USB once a month or something - sounds like an interesting challenge doable with digikey supplies I already have.


Dumping live serial is fine. In fact, I think that might be easiest since I’ll be dumping NMEA strings for positioning at the same time. Should make it easier to parse and map later on.


There are a couple of mapped ones “nearby”. Two hours drive, and a couple of mountain ranges in between. I should be able to reach them with a mountaintop repeater or two. I’ll see what else is nearby (if anything) and plan from there, once my pocket unit arrives.


How easy is it to wire in a pocket node to a laptop for datalogging? While the form factor isn’t much of an issue (I intend to print my own case), I was wondering what sort of I/O protocol (if any) these devices usually support.


I do a lot of hobby electronics, so building a repeater more or less from scratch is the plan, yes.
I still think the car setup is needed, at least temporarily until I’ve found some potential neighbors that I can reach with a repeater. I very much doubt I’ll be able to reach anyone without them, as I live here:
…gotta get over those mountains. And that picture was taken from one of the few locations reachable by car, and I’m willing to bet better positions can be reached by foot. But NFW I’m hiking all the way up there just to test - I wanna map out other nodes in the region first.
EDIT: Unless needed later, the car setup might be repurposed as a rooftop repeater so I can reach a summit repeater from my pocket node.


Seconding your remark about creators being on YouTube. I’m a big consumer of YouTube videos, and the only reason why I’m not (much) on peertube is because of the content.
A reason why peertube isn’t as popular among creators is the lack of monetization. While I would love for monetization not to be a factor, it’s a simple truth that many of the creators do what they do to pay rent a d their phone bills.
So until kofi, patreon, or similar funding methods overtake ads in revenue source, there’s not much of a reason for creators to upload to peertube.


Ukraine has no cards, remember?


“Oopsie”
Definitely not on purpose…


Do it, you pussy. The only one complaining is your lapdog Orban anyway


Trump is dumb enough to believe that Spaniards don’t understand English just because he doesn’t understand Spanish


[Obligatory comment about frog fursuits goes here]
How do we know it wasn’t the other way around?
Just curious, how long is the post-surgery healing process?
There was a project quite a few years back called “open source ecology” where the goal was to develop everything needed to build a functioning farm from scratch. One of the parts involved a tractor of sorts.
However, I think the project lost steam years ago and has since shifted focus.
EDIT: Found it
It seems that the tractor actually went somewhere: https://opensourceecology.dozuki.com/c/LifeTrac
Looks like an URL matcher of some sorts, that isn’t limited to HTTP. Kudos for handling parentheses as valid URL characters.
