Yep, it really can be this simple.
This is a Heltec V3, in the bit of Styrofoam it ships with, along with a 2000 mAh battery inside an Altoids tin.
Seems to work just fine. Next week, I plan to upgrade it with an external antenna.

Typically need to enter a code to pair Bluetooth. If it doesn't give you one on the screen, try "123456".

There are a lot of remote energy sources (hydrologic and natural gas) where it is not feasible to transmit power from through lines, but Bitcoin mining can produce an economic output from those sources.
Landfills produce methane that is currently just burned. Instead, that methane could run generators for Bitcoin mining.
So, yeah, Trump won the election.
But more importantly, Americans have resoundingly rejected the woke agenda, the mainstream media, and the Davos/Hollywood elite.
The centralizing gatekeepers are bleeding out.
The world is shifting away from network news towards alternative decentralized media like podcasts and Nostr.
The world is beginning to see the failure of fiat money and embrace Bitcoin.
Let's keep this trend going.
Can Bitcoin mining revolutionize energy production?
Can locally grown food replace big food companies?
Can projects like Meshtastic and Graphene OS replace surveillance technology?
Can sovereign computing replace big tech?
Can the sovereign individual eventually replace the nation state?
We are the people who can make it happen.

Small price break even for quantity of two. Greater discount for greater quantity, of course.

This week on #metaltransmittedbyrelays we're going to hear some cheesy power metal. Power metal bands are known for each having their schtick. Usually it's some type of overt fantasy theme.
In tonight's example, it's Norse Mythology.
Brothers of Metal is a Swedish band featuring male and female vocals, and a good dose of humor in their lyrics and music videos.

More metal awesomeness here
Cellaring tobacco is a fun hobby, and kind of a necessity when you don't smoke enough to use up a bag or a tin before it dries out.
Battery and hardware arrived for my Heltec V3 case so I assembled another #meshtastic device
Last night's project was making a leather pouch for the Wismesh pocket. It turned out okay, but I think for the next one, I need to get some veg tanned leather and do a wet formed pouch.

Morning chores.
Forked some hay over the fence for the weaned calves.

You may need to install an esp 32 driver.
Go to meshtastic.org and click "get started" and it should walk you through all the downloads.
As for the music, it was Dark Tranquillity and Swallow the Sun.
An Exacto knife, a metal cork- backed ruler, a 5/16" punch, and a couple stitching chisels will get you started with leatherwork.
GN Nostr.
No time for scrolling tonight, I have leather to stitch, pipe tobacco to smoke, and death metal to listen to.
View from the workbench.

This will eventually be my #meshtastic router and be in an elevated position with a large antenna and solar charging.
But for now, just sitting in my kitchen window with a tiny antenna, the signal covers the entire farm and a mile on down the highway.
So far, I'm impressed.
