speed will increase as development continues

LoRa is already surfing on the bleeding edge of physics. There is no way to get anything more out of it, other than allocating wider EM spectrum for this usecase.

There are some radio amateurs in my area trying Meshcore on 169Mhz for example. There are also some new boards available that can do LoRa on 2.4Ghz, but both approaches have some downsides as well.

For a more stable and reliable network, we would also need radios capable of communicating on multiple channels simultaneously (remember, the whole thing started off as a reaction to really cheap, almost disposable dev boards), but now we’re approaching the complexity and requirements of the traditional mobile networks.

People who studied the code speak really fondly about reticulum, however, it’s not as popular for building the lora based mesh networks, because the full stack does not run on the simple microcontroller. You need what is basically a standard PC connected to it. Given that mesh repeaters are usually designed to run off-grid on solar and battery, wasting additional power for a raspberry pi or similar computer would make the project unfeasible.

All while Meshtastic or Meshcore are perfectly happy with the esp32 or nrf microcontrollers. And the nrf ones can run without a direct sunshine for days with the reasonably large battery.

I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

Nice. I’ve always wanted to try this myself. One day…

Can only say a person who has never used meshtastic.

done with malicious intentions

I could absolutely imagine this being done as a genuine attempt to help some OEMs. But that’s somehow even more disturbing.

The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it’s sqlite, but ain’t afraid to admit it!

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk

Nobody has ever explained why. What is the difference between executing a script directly from curl, and adding a repository which downloads a package which contains a script.

This might also be the beginning of android.

So far, people have been OK with modifying the existing phones to fit their needs. We’re slowly approaching the critical inconvenience point beyond which it might be easier to buy OEM parts and start assembling un-googled phones.

There. We just broke the law.

They absolutely are. It’s one thing to beg for the right to do something. It’s entirely different to be able to just do it without the permission.

Did people forget how big of a deal the printing press was?

I’ve been using Styrbar remotes with ZHA and ConBee II USB stick. At some point I had an issue with some new device and had to upgrade the ConBee firmware, but I don’t remember which one. Probably the old ikea motion sensor.

Please be aware that there has been some major regression in styrbar firmware released last year. Not sure if all the issues are fixed by now.

For real. The new logo was the reason I switched back then. It was a tough experience, but worth it.

someone with no job

TIL. I’ve only ever heard it as a euphemism for a vagina.

Proxmox is based on Debian, but its installer does not offer you as many options as the base Debian installer. People figured out you can just install debian with your prefered settings and then just slap the proxmox packages on top.

Oracle free tier is honestly not worth the hassle. Their portal is absolutely confusing, and those who figure it out will just get banned.

like the desktop icons, the minimize button, the ability to adjust fonts, change themes, right click menu icons, systray…
