Oh thank you for showing up. I reckoned you’d probably see a referrer in your logs or something and clue in on this! Ever have any crazy RF interference stories on your personal gear up there!? I heard from someone that their camera LCD wen

A community member recently got meshtastic nodes CNT1 and CNT2 installed! Here’s a bit of old lore about the environment they’re located in.

The detection of dimethyl sulfide on an exoplanet is an exciting development, ok. And DMS on Earth is almost entirely biologically sourced, but that doesn’t make it an exclusive biosignature. There are plausible abiotic pathways for DMS for

This is a very personal story and I’ll keep it personal because I don’t know what anyone else’s lived experience is. If you’re young and this resonates for you, you’ll figure it out. My undiagnosed dyscalculia combined with an unnecessarily

FM is not very practical on frequencies that bounce off the atmosphere with any regularity as they have a lot less bandwidth to offer. The reason this conversation is so foreign to most of us is because back in the day of shortwave radio ou

This is either parody or the making of someone who’s never done real work. Source: if you do this stuff or even dare to name another microservice after a Harry Potter character when 11.5 million people rely on it, I’m going to dedicate the
