After spending a lot of my time on Django, it's fine for simple to moderately complex things. The ORM mostly good. DRF is fine for APIs. And the admin is super nice as well. But once something gets significantly complex, the ORM sta

I've been meaning to come up with my own digital voice signaling system.

Thanks, it's an interesting hobby. Technically interesting, but unfortunately I think a lot of the politics of it turn people off.

But then you're no longer in the noise floor. That makes you triangulable and bomb-able.

Ham radio Amateur Extra. The license after Technician and then General. The RTLSDR is an easy way to see if you'd like radio or not.

With networks like meshtastic there's this sweet spot of density. Not enough density, no message throughput. Too much density, also no message throughput. It's one of these things where for the early adopters it worked great, bu

My point is that if you can't do spread spectrum, you've got to think about creative ways to get messages out. Something in the noise floor looks promising even if it's not fast. Further I've seen designs for WSPR that

Why bother? Just jam the fucking hell out of it. Most critical infrastructure is not on the ISM bands.

Triangulation is damn easy. If the US can put on bomb on a suspect satellite phone user back in the 2000's (and they did!), they can certainly send a bomb on that today. Sat phones during the second gulf war (maybe even the first) bec

A military won't be killing all Americans, just the ones it can label as "terrorists" to the people who elected them.

No, just blast the hell out of the ISM bands on which they operate. This seem certainly feasible for a military apparatus the size of the US.

But did all the nodes and repeaters update to the version of meshtastic with routing? Meshcore started with routing out of the box. I don't think it's the noise that's too high, my original understanding of the meshtastic 2.

States like Iran have signal catchers, where they can get a rough idea where a signal is coming from through triangulation. The US military has had this for over 20 years now. Often these coordinates are fed in as targets into weapons sys

I've been on Zepbound and Wegovy, and n=1. It seems like the more complex the flavors (at least to me) the less appealing the food is. So Doritos is too much. A butter or white cheese puffed corn snack tastes pretty good -- but I don

Again shenanigans. This is an arguing technique from the bitcoin maximalists who would proclaim something to be false when a google search would show otherwise. You've drank some kind of kool-aid. You've been gaslit. Don't

It's also possible he lied about his end date to throw suspicion off. Or he may be still working for the company and used someone else's resignation to pin the blame on them.

At work there was only one way to test a feature, and that was to deploy it to our dev environment. The only way to deploy to dev was to check the repo into a branch, and deploy from that branch. So one branch had 40x "Deploy to Dev&q

But isn't that a self-inflicted wound then? I mean is there some reason your devs decided not to fix the DB cluster? Or did management tell you "Eh, we have other things we want to prioritize this month/quarter/year?&q

There is some issues with "boomers" and "toxic culture". Ham radio can be pretty toxic -- but you have to find the groups that have the knowledge but don't have the toxicity. There is a stigma to being a Ham these

Here's a thought experiment. Remember, there's only one channel. Let's say you have 100 meshtastic nodes in a residential valley. And you have 1 meshtastic repeater up on a mountain overlooking the valley (or it could be on
