DC-1 will now be more widely available!

Got this newsletter today from nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h

"Moving forward, Daylight Computer is officially back on sale – permanently – with no more deposits. This marks a serious milestone in our fulfillment capabilities, and is part of our promise to make the DC-1 more widely available."

I've been using mine primarily for reading and taking notes with bookmarks. Been great to keep the font and size the same between books and have a paper-like reading experience. I haven't delved too much into ebooks until now. Planning to use it for more, however haven't figured out a stand and keyboard setup for it yet.

I heard they track all of your activity across apps. It is in the user agreement. Might be worth looking into.

Who is “he”?

Chat gpt fact check on FEMA loans.

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) provides financial assistance to individuals and households after a disaster, but it is not always a loan. There are two main forms of aid:

1. Grants: These do not need to be repaid. They are often given to cover essential needs such as temporary housing, repairs, or critical personal expenses.

2. Loans: FEMA works with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to offer low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters, and businesses. These loans, unlike grants, do need to be repaid.

So, if you receive a grant from FEMA, it is not a loan and does not need to be repaid. However, if you take out a loan, repayment is required.

Mesh network devices seem like a good option for censorship resistant communication that is also privacy preserving.

I want to lock down my internet use at home. A vpn is great, but I want devices to automatically connect to a secure network with VPN always on.

Thinking about buying a dd-wrt compatible WiFi router, and setting up my vpn directly on that instead of using software on each device to connect.

What am I missing? Is this a good approach?

My next steps will likely be getting a used pixel and installing Calaxy or another privacy os on it, and experimenting with using that privacy phone as my daily driver.

I really like the Linux phones like the pine phone or Purism Librem 5, but those just don’t seem quite ready to be a daily driver.

More great info about decentralized communication over LoRa. This allows users to communicate text messages, or transaction, via a mesh network.

Ok, this is cool.

Using reticulum, a decentralized mesh network that uses LoRa radios, Juraj is sending and receiving Cashu transactions.

When SHTF happens, or mass censorship and surveillance gets enacted, this is how bitcoiners stay self sovereign.

Congrats! Going to be a dad soon, and looking forward to the experience!

Children have become so much more precious in my eyes now that I will be having one.
