Yeah I think this will become an issue although probably not where I am in the short term at least. It’s not a big densely populated city and so far there is only a fairly small community of people playing with Meshtastic/Reticulum etc.

Node now installed in the pole mount enclosure. I originally wanted the antenna facing down to avoid water getting in but that wasn’t really possible to do with this enclosure due to the way the cable entrance holes are drilled so it may need some silicon and self amalgamating tape around the antenna connector to ensure that it is waterproof. #meshtastic nostr:note13yn672a45c57j6sw9fwhjymv0e2l2sw6nmncxgfk6pqksgmmjknqakvl9m

Tonight’s sunset

Sunday afternoon walk. Perfect weather for it today. 🌞

Regular Sunday morning visit to the farmer’s market 🥩🥚🍄‍🟫🍓

Testing a new Meshtastic node. The plan for this one is to have it mounted on a tower where it will be powered by PoE from a Netonix switch (similar to the one shown) so I’ve confirmed that it powers up using the 48V passive PoE that these switches can supply. The node is using the RAK Wireless RAK4631 core module on the RAK19009 power slot baseboard and the RAK19017 PoE module. I’ve got a small pole mount enclosure to mount it in now that I know it will work. #meshtastic

On the fly Friday evening change to work around the issue was successfully applied without making the issue worse or breaking anything else.. 😅 While these issues aren’t fun to deal with at the time, the positive is that there is always something new learned from them. nostr:note1j6gmwlx8jf6fx4smzcqn7drfftv8f6ra5fsy7vnnwegnwx6qdtqsptf4ap

Why do the weird network faults always occur just before 5pm on a Friday afternoon…? 😭

I don’t know, I’ve never had emu before. Still deciding if I will buy some to try!

Wasn’t a great start to October being sick with the flu for a week but still managed to average over 10k steps per day. The weather is warming up, days are getting longer, and hopefully things will start slowing down at work. More time to get out so November should be better. #proofofwalk

This is my first post on this platform. I found it through a recommendation from nostr:npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 on YouTube. Happy to try anything new. Feel free to like, share, comment or follow. Looking forward to seeing the work others produce.

Welcome to Nostr! Beautiful shot!
