I am owned by several dogs and cats. I have been playing non-computer roleplaying games for almost five decades. I am interested in all kinds of gadgets, particularly multitools, knives, flashlights, and pens.

  • Meshtastic over TCP/IP etc?

    Jump

  • If I understand what you're asking, this is already built in. Take a look at MQTT under the Module Configuration section. It allows you sent link nodes through the internet. You just need a radio with WiFi, which means one with an ESP32 processor board.

  • Tired of high costs, some Americans are importing homes straight from China

    Jump

  • My main problems with AliExpress have been vendors either sending the wrong item or just not sending anything at all, but claiming they did. I've opened a case with them each time and they have ruled against me every time. Also, when I say they sent me the wrong item, I don't mean I ordered an large t-shirt and received a medium; I mean I ordered a a large t-shirt and they sent me a door latch.

    I expect their stuff to be junk, given the prices, but I get offended when they don't even send me the right kind of junk.

  • Luminous5481's ban

    Jump

  • You folks are doing a great job. It is not possible to maintain a healthy environment without locking toxic people out. Those are always going to be tricky judgment calls, but someone has to make them. I appreciate the thought that you put into making those decisions, as well as the transparency in letting us know why.

  • However, if you have a problem, Amazon will almost always take care of it and AliExpress will tell you to go fuck yourself. After the third time I received the wrong item, the vendor lied about it, and AiExpress told me it was my problem, I quit buying from them.

  • A convincing fake?

    Jump

  • I'm not an expert, but that sure does sound like a fake. As far as "fixing" it, I think the kindest repair would involve hitting it with a hammer until it was flat.

  • Beautiful form, 10 out of 10

    Jump

  • You are absolutely right, of course. At this point, after thinking about it, I'm leaning toward doing taxes.

  • America Trembles as Transportation Secretary Announces Plans for Air Traffic Controllers to Lean on AI Tools

    Jump

  • "Someone's got their head in the clouds."

    No, someone's got their head up their ass.

  • Beautiful form, 10 out of 10

    Jump

  • That is either an exceptionally good dance move or an exceptionally bad landing.

  • Happy house-panther

    Jump

  • House panthers are awesome. Alaric is adorable!

  • How far would you swallow your morals for money?

    Jump

  • You're pricing yourself too cheaply. My soul is easily worth seven figures...

    Seriously, if you're willing to do immoral things for money you need to take a hard look at yourself and your views about what is moral and why. And are you willing to do things that will make anonymous strangers suffer? How about your friends? Research strongly suggests that a willingness to put the good of the community above our own needs is probably why humans as a species are still around. What kind of person do you want to see in the mirror every morning?

  • Nova Launcher could soon add a proactive AI assistant that sucks up all your data

    Jump

  • You just solved one of my long-standing problems! I've been looking for a launcher that could replace Nova for me, but I hadn't been able to find anything that really did the job. Octopi for the win!

    I am in the process of moving over my highly-customized setup now. And I made the larger of the two donations, in support of the app.

    Thanks for suggesting it and thanks to the developer who built it!

  • Those who have ever taken medications for depression or anxiety, how long before it started working from your experience?

    Jump

  • I have now been on anti-depressants for almost five decades. In that time, I've used just about everything out there, and transitioned from one to the next. Unfortunately, the honest answer is that how long they take to kick in varies widely based on the specific medication. I'm sure the patient's condition can also change it by quite bit. My average has been around a month to get a useful effect, but my minimum is probably around a week and my maximum more like three months.

  • Cookies, deodorant, socks. Iran war puts military packages in limbo

    Jump

  • The top layers of all US departments have been replaced with people who have no qualifications except for their willingness to do anything Trump wants. It isn't too surprising that most of them can't actually do their jobs. And that's before you get into how many of them are also totally corrupt.

  • Trump Humiliates ICE Barbie With Bombshell Reversal

    Jump

  • The reality is simpler than this. There are very few people who are meet Trump's standards for slavish loyalty. He has limited choices when looking for a new person to put in charge of something.

  • ’25TH AMENDMENT!!!’ Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for Trump’s Removal From Office

    Jump

  • An awful lot of politicians want Trump gone, but none of them want to actually do anything about it. Congress has the power to impeach and remove him, but they all want the cabinet to invoke the 25th so they don't have to take any responsibility. Any, of course, they know there's no chance of this cabinet doing that anyway.

  • “The problem is Sam Altman”: OpenAI Insiders don’t trust CEO

    Jump

  • The rules we have created to govern corporations cause that, in a very direct way. If those positions were officially responsible for the welfare of their employees and customers, and not just their shareholders, the role would not favor sociopaths. We need to change the rules. Otherwise, getting rid of the current crop of awful people will just replace them with others like them.

  • Iran live updates: Trump says Iran 'can be taken out in one night'

    Jump

  • That's a fair point. The prosperity gospel came along well after Peale's time, but he probably would have liked it. He was another sociopath in the same mold.

  • Iran live updates: Trump says Iran 'can be taken out in one night'

    Jump

  • So far as I know, there is no reason to think that Trump believes in the prosperity gospel. He wants the people who do to follow him, but I would be surprised if he believes in anything at all (including religion, philosophy, physics, and other human beings).

  • SOG Ultra XR: No Fooling

    Jump

  • Great review!

    This is simply one of the best knives on the market. It isn't my primary carry, only because I like a somewhat larger blade, but it is what's on me anytime I'm dressing up or traveling light. It is thin, light, strong, reliable, and effective. It even manages to have an excellent grip, despite being that thin. I am not a big fan of SOG, but they got everything right on this one.

  • Maybe

  • As someone who hates the original, this made me very happy.

    Does the Meshtastic app allow any configuration of channel appearance?
