Done!

Yea… I get that.

Not confident in my ability to put everything together and do it correctly.

I have two Wis Block devices I got on Etsy with 3d printed cases. May just wait until that hardware is supported, or if I get access to a 3d printer.

I wish Mark was still selling them on his site, would totally pick one up!

Looking forward to more device support in the coming months and years.

This project is something so valuable and necessary, it is worth reminding myself to have a low time preference for its development.

I have been wanting a laptop to mess around with Linux, and was looking at new ones.

Settled on a t480 for $125 instead of buying a new one.

Still have work on my low time preference, but happy to have found a cheap alternative.

Yep. I feel like he is an agent of chaos. Some things great, other things horrible.

Meshtastic is definitely fun. There are over 200 nodes in my city, but starting to hit the limits of what is possible with that protocol.

Looking forward to reticulum being available on more devices, and wider spread adoption.

Helped me pass my Technician last week!

Sweet!

Can’t wait to hear how this project goes. I have two metastatic nodes, but really want to dive into reticulum. May need to wait until it is a little more built out, and more devices are compatible.

I love the idea of a “distraction free device”. One that is t designed to pull our attention away. One that helps us get back into the moment, instead of pulling us away.

Hope this project takes off!

Parenting done right.

But will he learn emacs or vim? That is the question.

Are these compatible with Reticulum yet? I want to play around with that software stack, but I don’t have any compatible devices.

Congrats brother.

My firstborn is almost 4 months old, and we are so glad we had her.

I am 44, but gonna stay healthy and active to raise her right.

This is the way.

I can’t wait for more devices to be supported on the LoRa network side.

Such a cool project.

Bitcoin is winning.

I don't mean the price, even though that has gone up 24% in the last week.

$92,000 per Bitcoin, or as I like to see it, 2,616 Satoshis per dollar, is also not what I am talking about.

Bitcoin is winning because countries like Bhutan, and El Salvador are adopting it.

Bitcoin is winning because governments choose to spend more money than they bring in, and inflate away their deficit.

Bitcoin is winning because people have a choice to move out of the dollar/fiat system. Fiat loosing value (the government backed currency), just makes hard money (Bitcoin) not inside that inflationary system go up.

Gold used to be the only protection against your money being worth less and less every day. But you can't spend gold online. Gold is hard to transport. Hard to secure. Hard to move around.

I am celebrating Bitcoin winning because it means house prices are going down relative to bitcoin. It means providing for my family becomes more affordable over time, instead of unsustainable.

I am celebrating Bitcoin going up, not just because it means I will actually have some retirement money saved up, but because it means there is a whole new financial system being adopted that levels the playing field.

Money does not have to decrease in value every year.

So I am celebrating that money I put aside for my daughter’s education will grow over time, without having to chase investments that earn a 'yeild' trying desperately to outpace inflation.

I am celebrating people not needing permission to open a bank account, or ask someone else if they can move their money. I am celebrating businesses on a bitcoin standard not getting locked out of their bank accounts, or having funds frozen without recourse.

Bitcoin works on weekends, it works on holidays. It works across borders, and in person. It works without asking for permission.

There is another way. It looks different. It seems complex. But once you start to look under the hood, you realize how complex the current money system is, and just how broken it has become.

And that is why an alternative isn't just necessary, it was inevitable.

I am not saying you should buy Bitcoin. I am saying, you should question if inflation is necessary, if money should be worth less every year, and if the current fiat system is broken.

Once you answer that question for yourself, you can decide to look for a solution. For me, that solution is Bitcion.

Yes! He is where I learned about the all in one bags! Great resource.

Congrats!

Wife and I had our first 3 months ago, and has been a huge blessing in our lives to have our daughter.

Changes your whole world.

Good idea! There are 3 clubs in my area, will email and ask about used equipment.

Thanks!

I may end up just doing a handheld for now, something to cut my teeth on.

nostr:npub1ya20ep3dd0qt0suhzprxztv5y43arqwps73ercvqa44sp7qw0edsp4x9ty looking to get ham certified (technician) next month.

Curious if you have any resources for good used radios for new hams?

My ideal setup would be a man bag I could put in my car, or use at my apartment, but open to handhelds too.

Orange pilled my buddy a few years ago, but he bought ETH too.

Trying my best to keep steering him in the right direction.
