OK, the angle wasn't sharp enough on my first attempt, so I re-did it. I also added the screw hole in the bolt so I don't have to drill any plastic.

I have a specific plan on how to use these and if it works, it's going to be glorious! Stay tuned.

The first thing that comes to mind is knowing who is DMing whom, when, how often, how long the messages are and so forth. This would likely be visible to every hop along the way. I suggest that would leak because that leaks to relays now, though this could be solved with protocol changes.

The Briar Protocol is just a transport layer, although that isn't always obvious if your first encounter with it is Briar Messenger. The briar protocol can be used to deliver email, Nostr notes, RSS feeds... or whatever. You have to write the Nostr parts, but the briar library can deal with getting the notes to their destinations.

IIRC they address messages to a public key. In your case, that'd be the public key of the relays. To jump from the mesh to the internet would just require a node to receive it (addressed to its public key), look at the contents of the note, and send it on the clearnet to the relays if that node has internet access. Just like you described in the third use case.

Maybe. I've ordered a nice power meter that can track power consumption over time to give me the ground truth on power usage. Then I can make changes and have confidence in any power differences I see.

It does not taste like chocolate.

But now I kinda want to print out chocolate bars with this color.

Or even better yet, make a 3D printer that actually does print chocolate!

A 5VDC power source and a battery.

How do I keep my RAK #meshtastic from going into sleep mode? It's configured as a router and power saving is off. I don't know what more I can do here...

It's supposed to be a router. I wasn't it listening at all times and I don't give a hoot how much power it uses. No packets left behind!

The bolt is going to get screwed to the ceiling (or wall) and then the tentacle can be reaching out of the ceiling (or wall) with no visible attachment points. It can also be more load bearing than if it was just taped onto the ceiling/wall.

The large bolt is about as thick as my pinky finger. I forgot to put something in frame for scale.

The first two cases seem nearly identical.

Having diagrams for each use case showing how the messages spead under the different use cases would be helpful. It could also show how/why one note in use case C may go to relays A, B, and C, while a second note goes to relays C, X, Y, and Z.

If you haven't already looked into Briar and understand why they only pass messages to trusted individuals for transport, I'd recommend it. Decide up front whether you want to protect people's metadata. Whatever you decide, please make it clear to users what is and is not protected.

You could also consider using the Briar protocol as your underlying transport. Their chat app is just one example of what their protocol can do. What you are trying to do looks very similar top their goals in several ways.

That is the correct URL, but the prices are all WAy off. Like by 700% or more.

The good news is the online tool has higher prices.

Any suggestions for a meter that can take measurents over time?

I only have an DVOA meter that gives me the current measurements.

According to the RAK itself, it's currently using 166.2 mA.

This is way higher than what I've seen people post about online who were using an external power meter. (They're ssying around 6 mA)

If it were to use 166.3 mA for 6 hours, it'd use about 1Ah, which would mean a 3Ah battery would not even last a full day. So I'm not sure where it's getting that number, but I'm highly skeptical.

What about algorithms that allow you to see interesting posts from people you follow that happened when you were busy doing offline things?

Without an algorithm, those notes are effectively lost to the sands of time.

It doesn't have actual prices at specific pharmacies, just estimates. GoodRx gives more specifix information.

I'm not exactly sure what the capacity of my 26700 batteries are, but it's likely around 5Ah. I was planning on putting 8 of them in my #meshtastic #solar node (two banks of 4 batteries). So in the ballpark of 40Ah.

I just saw someone post that their RAK4631 and they say it lasts for 18 days on a single charge of a 3Ah battery. 😳

Maybe I should make that two pairs of batteries instead of 2 4-packs. Because a theoritical battery capacity of 240 days (~8 months) is probably not the most effective use of my batteries.

Heck, one 5Ah battery would probably suffice!

The good news is that I can leave the case design alone and just rock two pairs.

Crowdhealth folks: what's the URL that let's me check the discounted prescription prices?

I emailed the company asking buy they won't respond to me

OMG, it's so tiny! I need to make it at least 3x larger. I'll take pics tomorrow

I have a tenticle which can barely accept an M6 screw and it's 284MB. What am I even doing? #3DPrinting

It does make sense though. If you're confident in AI, you're not going to check its work. Same goes for if you lack confidence in yourself (be it justified or not).

If you're like me and think AI frequently answers the wrong question (one not asked) and makes errors, which are sometime major, you'll be looking over the results very closely.

Oh gods. Now I'm learning about the 5 different dimensions in every standard shaped grommet only to find that normal retailers only provide 1-2 meausrements and they are ambiguous about which diameters/widths they are.

Guess I'll be buying a sampler pack and using the calipers then... 🙄

First I'm going to try a slot & groove for the lid. I expect that will keep moisture out.

If I'm wrong, It can be used for a gasket but then I'll have to put some ears on it to bolt it shut.
