Today's random sketch.

Gah ... what a rookie move.

Yeah for sure. I should clip the one I made, I think I got the pacing down and the static. I was going to play a trumpet song first but I had only 10 seconds left on the tape.

GM music and freedom lovers 😘

You could play that melody on the trumpet and fade it from the station's recording.

Lincolnshire Poacher vibes ftw.

I know it’s controversial, but a late night coffee is something I enjoy every now and then.

Yes, is all text. Voice is instant, so better for most high priority things (rescues, equipment on/off, etc.), In some cases, like ours, text works fill the gaps or dead zones. In a larger operations it could keep comms channels open for higher priority things at a minimum. I do like the ability to have subchannels that groups can talk outside of the main channel.

Going to be testing them some with search and rescue soon to see if they'll fill any needs. Carrying small card deck devices into the bush to hang in trees to setup a mesh network is easier than bringing large radio repeaters and batteries into the bush or top of hills. Has some potential to fill some gaps in comms at least.

Nice thing is it's just like a texting app on the phone, so pretty much anyone can figure it out. Connect to your node via Bluetooth and you're good to go.

Yeah the other handheld radios (voice) would only go straight down the shaft, they didnt work once you we stepped out of the shaft opening. The mesh allows the signal to be sent to all devices connected to the mesh network. We actually did see some decent mesh signal even when not light of sight. (bouncing signal I'd guess?).

One last thing..... We need more podcasters, more musicians, more listeners, more developers, more everything. THANK YOU FOR ASKING NOSTR how to do this. We need you. Jump in. Get your hands all nerdy. I'm happy to jump on a call and dive deeper with you.

Using Meshtastic devices the past two days at work. Communicating down a 120' vertical shaft and then down a corridor at the bottom. Solid concrete everywhere.

Using T-Beam Supremes and a Heltec v3 (it has no issues on the shaft either).

Radio comms don't work unless we're standing at the top and bottom of the shaft. The mesh allows us to even slightly communicate around corners since Bluetooth will go ~50'.

Very awesome! Now just need a intrinsically safe (explosive atmospheres) version of something like the T-Echo for when working around gas.

Tonight is the night I watch Pirates of the Caribbean movie for the first time with the family. It came highly recommended by my eldest son.

Is it any good #AskNostr?

Will I want to watch the other films?

Also worth noting value comes in INFINITE forms. Some producers may not send money but can create art, jingles or merch, help with tech, tell others about your work, or even provide lodging during travels and become IRL friends. 💜
