Sailfish OS

Human people. My source is the old ham dude who gave us the ham exam I managed to bungle and haven’t gotten around to retaking.

He was the type who used morse code at gigabit speeds with a funky looking sideways key

Finland. The questions for the basic test require you to actually know your shit, they’re specifically worded so that you can’t wing it

I failed it, that’s how I know. By a few points but still 😀

Both can coexist, more options is better when talking about decentralised systems

Internet routing is a bit more complex, but basically yes.

It all depends on the environment and the amount of nodes. I’m not exactly controlling Fort Knox here so 100% reliability isn’t a big point

It’s still cool to be at the store 2-3km away and get a notification that the fridge door is open, via a completely independent network 😀

I get the exact same notification via the internet, but it’s not as cool

They dropped the morse requirement because people just stopped taking the test

The HAM license isn’t a trivial checkbox test, at least not over here

Controlling home automation remotely without any internet access.

Tracking dogs, people or vehicles - again with no internet.

There was a massive power outage in Portugal not too long ago and people used Meshtastic to communicate between cities to see who had power.

It does work, but it’s not a Final Solution

Antennas and location.

I can see one node on top of the tallest building around here and it allows me to connect to nodes 20-30km away.

They’re a mesh walkie-talkie, but you don’t need to walkie or talkie 😁

Meshnet means that if A can see B and B can see C, then A can message C, it’s routed through B automatically.

Also it’s text only, not enough bandwidth for speech

There is no “-ism” that can save the US anymore

They need a revolution and a new system. More than two parties and limits on presidential power

Same thing would happen if they were a non-coder project manager or designer for a team of actual human programmers.

Stuff done, shipped and working.

“But I can’t understand the code 😭”, yes. You were the project manager why should you?
