I bought this Solar Radio Node, ready made, on Etsy. Not the cheapest solution, but it was still pretty reasonable and it works beautifully.

I bought peakmesh’s smaller solar node (micromag?) and it’s great. At the time I was using it on my campervan but now it’s stuck to the side of the two-story apartment where I live.

The Innovation That’s Killing Restaurant Culture

America never had a restaurant culture, as far as I can tell.

I tried bringing out food and water, but it won’t let me anywhere near. Is there anything I can put out to help this dog through another frozen night, assuming it comes anywhere near my house again?

Warming pad set out by the food?

I have a Amazon thermal printer (“TATTMUSE”) running on vanilla debian. related blog post.

It’s annoys me that there’s no way to set a default posting language and have lemmy honor it.

uncovering the origins of phở

dunno the origins but I can tell you the destination is my belly on a regular basis. At least when I can afford it; prices have gone up substantially in the places I visit.

Evolution.

Thanks for posting. I wonder if they know something we don’t, or it’s their way of saying “we don’t carry it anymore”

Now I get an email they are discontinued and it sounds like the order is cancelled.

Can you please post the relevant text from the email? Was it freom Seeed or third party?

Under LoRa settings turn off rx boosted gain… Tjat one setting extended the battery by 9 hours.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m surprised it made that that much of a difference.

It’s cool that you submitted it to the project. I appreciate it!

I wrestled with the choice between these two earlier this week. I liked the aesthetics of the T000E better. It’s slightly smaller and also friendlier-looking to my eyes (less likely to cause concern from muggles?) The Tag has a Death Star vibe…

But after shipping to my location the Tag was actually cheaper and has a theoretical battery capacity advantage. I’ll have the GPS turned off so the Tag’s greater GPS suck won’t be a factor. So I got the Tag. We will see.

Just don’t lose those fancy charging cables!

My understanding is that it’s a generic-ish 4 Pin 7.62mm interface used on smartwatches, etc. (example). I’ve read that people with both the T1000e and Rak Tag can use the cables interchangeably. I don’t have both so I can’t confirm.

I bought one of these from Etsy six months ago and it’s been working perfectly.

Glad to hear it. I bought the smaller variant (1 panel, 18650) a couple days ago. I’m traveling so it’ll take another couple weeks to catch up with me through my mail forwarder.

it’s great for at least two scenarios. If your local cell towers stop working

A related scenario: if there wasn’t cell coverage at a location at all. Boondockers sometimes camp in areas with no cell coverage, or coverage that only works with cell boosters or LTE/5G routers with external antennas on the roof of their rigs.

If you’re going to a protest or other event where you would prefer not to be tracked or monitored

Given the state of play in the U.S. I wouldn’t blame them…

Kinda like how mqtt works, except your own private relay?

Newbie here, but isn’t that what MQTT Proxy on a private channel is for?

I’m running MythTV front/back on a Pi4 with one of those generic handheld keyboards. Power consumption is important to me because I live off solar power in a campervan.

If the Pi4 died tomorrow I’d probably replace it with a ~NUC.

In my case once a tab fails to load it will generally never load no matter how many times I reload the tan. I can close that tab and paste the same URL into a different tab and it works fine.

Ncdu

I learn something new every day. I’ve been running du -a | sort -rn | head like some kind of animal. ncdu runs very fast on my systems and shows me what I want to see. Thanks!

Do you think servers have it easy compared to personal computers? No pesky audio/video cards, bluetooth, etc…

My server upgrade to Trixie had no issues. That’s good because it’s several thousand miles away on another continent… My laptop had a few burps with ranger, jekyll, and autokey that required googling.

my experience so far

I see a lot of complaints about various issues stemming from an upgrade. I do not remember this many after an LTS Ubuntu version

Selection bias? I suspect Debian folks are more likely to notice problems and start looking for bug reports, talking about it, etc. Like my dorky blog entry above.

I set up my ex-MIL with Mint and it worked fine. Also gave my 70-something father a Mint USB and he installed it on his own.

I’ve used other distros for that purpose in the past but since they no longer exist I’m not listing them.

She is getting her masters in nursing online so it def needs to be able to accommodate that

I’d check to see if any proprietary software is required, if there is a linux or at least WINE-friendly version available. Hopefully it’s all web-based so no proprietary stuff needed.

I remember the Franklin Ace but this is the first i’ve heared of the Mimic Spartan.
