It's OK, I've seen better, I've seen worse.

I believe the trust thing is the metric used in WoT relays

Reticulum works bottom up and is focused on the protocol enabling you to emulate any network, even TCP-IP.

Meshtastic works top down, and focuses on the functionality. It primarily uses devices to relay messages.

LoRa mesh routing is so going down the route of Internet routing in the 1980's, it's spooky!

Can I be honest?

My wife, who is a podiatrist and very dextrous, assembled them for me πŸ˜‚

I ran nodes for both SIGFOX and TTN until 2016, during the 5 or so years of running them, I never saw a device or any other base station.

I might have been too early.

Meshtastic may be the answer.

I'll be building a repeater node and putting it in my loft with a decent aerial in the next few weeks.

The great thing about meshtastic is, as the name suggests, it operates as a mesh so devices (both input and repeater) will repeat a signal to help it get to its destination.

You can choose weather to repeat messages between 0 - 7 times)

Houston, we have a Meshtastic network.

I’m in the countryside so I’m not seeing any other nodes, but I’ll do a drive around later this week.

When I ordered a pair of LoRa meshtastic transceivers, I didn’t expect this πŸ˜‚

Ask not what NOSTR can do for you - ask what you can do for NOSTR

Reply more than post

Zap more than receive

Pay for services more than you use free services

Post more on NOSTR than other social media and link to that content from other social media

Talk about more than Bitcoin

Onboard others using apps like Primal which include Bitcoin + Lightning wallets, meaning that in one app newbies have decentralised money and social media - Purple pill + Orange pill in one go

That’s a very open question, so I’m just going to give some options.

We very much enjoyed our recent Celebrity cruise, they have the best food of any ship we’ve been on.

Princess is the best allrounder, we loved doing a transatlantic with Regal Princess.

MSC have the most glamorous ships, but we’ve been disappointed with the food.

Norwegian are modern Scandinavian chic, they have some great ships.

Cunard is classic upper class British luxury if that appeals.

If you wish to push the boat out πŸ˜‚

Consider something like Silverline, Emerald or Ritz Carlton which are smaller more luxurious ships. We generally don’t do these because they tend not to have theatres on board and have limited choice for food and drink, but a lot of people like the higher crew to guest ratios meaning the service is at a different level.

Star Clippers would be really special they have tall sail ships, a very different experience.

If you want to explore further, Emma Cruises is a great YouTube channel to peruse:

The last time I was in Switzerland, I flew home on September 11th 2001.

Yes that day.

My friend and I were visiting another friend who'd recently moved to Zurich, he was working that day so we were staying in his apartment killing time till our flight. We turned on the TV with the sound off and saw what we thought was a re-run of "Towering Inferno". I'm not a big fan of the film so we switched channels to see Captain Pugwash on the children's channel.

When we switch back, we realise it isn't a film and start to understand what is really happening. We catch live one of the planes hitting the towers, we are in shock.

Later, we arrive at the airport to the most deathly quiet terminal I have ever encountered in my life, we see a line of passengers queuing at the American Airlines desk complaining about the service and exclaiming they'll never fly AA again. They don't know.

We catch our flight home, but it's the most quiet airplane I've ever been on in my life.

Driving back through the city of London, we pass Docklands with it's gleaming towers, slightly nervous as to what might happen.

When I arrive home my landline answerphone, is full of messages from a friend who's parents is holidaying with my parents in the U.S. I'd totally forgotten and so call her back.

My parents had to extend their holiday to the US as no flights left America for several days.
