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?).
Picked up a new bass guitar for a great price a bit ago. Found it at Long & Maquade on the way back from Punk in Drublic. Been wanting Sterling StingRay for a long time, decided to go for it. Wish I had done it a long time ago.
Absolutely loving it! Plays so well and the tone is beautiful. It's a matte black color which I really like. I'm sure Nostriches will approve of the burst color. π

Heh, this is gonna be a mess. I vote yes, I see the other 3922 (or 1 person maybe) have made their thoughts clear. π
For next time, polls are available on Amethyst and noStrudel and other interfaces. Just have to remind people to use an interface with polls or bother their favorite dev.
nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 Thank you so much for the subscription reminder and grace period. I'm an idiot and forgot to renew before travelling. Renewed now. π Just curious, any plans for 2 or 5 GB packages? Might be a cheaper way to entice people who aren't meme machines into your great service.
Thought it was all configured in the splits? Was there a change in how NA would split the zaps or was this just if it was a bday zap? Was thinking a bday zap for next show. π

Nostr really is a protcol, so this question will eventually be silly if every website starts using it.

Hey Nostr, just published my first song!
Check it out on Wavlake

Hey, I get this reference, for once. Are people having fun making music again? Seems like there has been a bit of shift in the last while.

This version adds support for NIP-35 Torrent files (dtan.xyz), adds significant memory pruning for encrypted payloads and large events (DMs, Notifications, Zaps, etc), and completely restructures the way most of our caching works to facilitate immediate subscription updates using the outbox model on custom feeds by NIP-51 lists.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixes lingering cache and threads still active after killing the app
- Fixes crash when opening the Relay screen with empty urls as relays.

- Fixes crash when the relay url of a user is duplicated.
- Fixes padding of short quotes
- Fixes slow down when the last message on chat is a base64 image.

I really need to try out the torrent feature...
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.

Thanks to the awesomeness of Nostr, I don't have to add this video to some stupid website's watch later cue. I can just download it, watch it later and even keep it forever. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely worth a watch. I hope the plans come to fruition and that Americans come together.
Thank you for sharing.
Been here since Dec 29, 2022.
A thought provoking idea. I think it might work.
I've always hated the phrase.
Great episode! I like the concise updates on important topics. Listened to the episode right away but had to top up my wallet to boost.

Nice progress. Hoping to build more interest in my city. Today I was pleasantly surprised to find the next town over actually has a good network setup already. They even have a BBS server.
I'm kinda curious if people said they hated the CPS in the comments.
