Perfect! Thanks.

nice

I agree.

I bet some people/entities use S3 buckets, SQL, etc…etc… just one offs for certain services. AWS can be the cheaper option. But you get what you paid for…

Its crazy, we are seeing unrelated services stop sending emails, issues with DNS, all sorts of strange stuff.

nice. Most of my instances I provide for are self hosted solutions.

Amazon sneezes, the whole internet catches a cold.

Im still seeing services up/down the entire day at work. Services that are not even AWS like Azure are slow for some reason (probably businesses failing over to other infa). Its crazy.

None of our in office infa is having issues. Managers are talking about fail-overs all day lol.

Got the log?

Yeah I heard of wikipedia, but not debian.

git and the lot are a lot better at this than people realize.

Did I miss something? Whats happening to debian stable?

Maybe search by tags? I know piefed allows you to do that. And Mastodon.

Either that or make your own search via api and exclude any community with more than X subscribers. Probably would work well.

I would love to hear this talk!

I’m using piefed on Firefox via my phone lol. Oh no.

I don’t.

There’s roots of patcha. Its very similar.

Interesting, maybe! Ill take a closer look with the RTLSDR. I could swear it wasnt as chatty before. Thanks!

longfast. Thats about it. Ive had the system up for the last year and a half. Switched over to core and it stopped having issues all together communicating with a friend. I agree with you though, the lack of open source is a huge issue. MOST of the code is open source, but its strange their client is not. You can get around it by using the cli tools…but it just doesn’t have the traction meshtastic does.

What I really want is both to work together on a better repeater tech. Core is the only one I can get working over a fairly complex mesh. But meshtastic is much better in most other ways.

It should easily take the traffic, from what my RTLSDR says. Its just the amount of hops. It gets to 3 and stops. If you add more (say 5) it gets to a couple of friends of mine. But it starts doing some stuff to the network (lots of traffic in a short period of time). In an emergency situation, most of the mesh goes down (most of them are powered by the grid). But the personal ones were still working. But yeah the walky talkies were much better and working well at that time.

Heshtastic is fun, but It has the issue (in my area at least) where a good half of the messages dont get through, even though there is at least 40 devices in our area. Its a problem. The bounce limit means we have issues communicating and it comes in waves/sporadically.

We have had more luck with meshcore getting the actual messages out, but it has the opposite problem. No one uses meshcore so it doesn’t matter how much better is it at communication.

Both are awesome projects dont get me wrong. I love playing around with both as a side hobby. Hopefully its better where you are at.

Ironically the best was a walky talky for emergencies.

NGL a piece of paper and a calendar. It’s not high tech but its worked.

I code around 10% of my day. The rest is just meetings about things people want, emails about bugs that occur and small fixes, finding out what network did again and re-doing the automatic syncs again.

Ironically in all my jobs coding is actually one of the smallest/least time consuming things I do. I do much more coding on my own time than at work. And all without AI. Cause AI is silly (and if you dont self host, your coding for Microsoft/OpenAI/Github/etc…etc…).

My suggestion, try to make the smallest MVP possible and just iterate on it. Find a cool game engine? Great! Try to make the character appear on the screen, then do other things. Find a cool library, great! Try to use the library in a small project. It doesn’t work for everyone, but it has helped quite a few people. Do what gives you motivation. Or fix something you hate. Hate is an excellent motivation.
