such a pleasure to read. I've followed lcamtuf's work since the 90s and also now live rurally. this week's project was figuring out how to fell a large dead tree without being killed by its upper limbs breaking from the pressure release, and working on some home sigint tools for doing rural property security, but mostly to justify upgrading the rtl-sdr to an ettus. country life isn't for everyone, but you see the impacts of tech, economics, and cultural change more clearly in the country because they're more stark against the backdrop of natural rhythms and things that change at the pace of seasons.

Couldn't agree more. Aside from a few short stints I've lived in rural locations my entire life and one of the things that encouraged me about the major shift to remote work is that the folks that are shaping so many of these factors also have a better opportunity to experience it first hand. >working on some home sigint tools for doing rural property security, but mostly to justify upgrading the rtl-sdr to an ettus Never did upgrade to the ettus but spent lots of time ogling their products. My 'project I'll never do but it's fun to think about' lately has been figuring out a way to watch the behavior of the uplink beam from my starlink with some kind of mesh of detectors/receivers. Seems very doable but the dopamine of finding a viable way will probably be enough for me to let go of it haha.
