I kinda need one like The Wizard™ pictured here with the bendy part so you can clip it to you, anyone have any specific recommendations of those kinds? Bonus points for 18650 and not being like, $13mil lmao.

No it isn't and I'm old too. It's either butt rock, dad rock, pop, rap that's actually just pop now, or terrible country. Barely of each is even passable but there's a few gems in each except for the country which would need to go older or play Charley Crockett and they won't.

And there's still good stuff coming out, it's just (as usual since like '97) it gets no radio play outside listener sponsored or college stations. Satellite excluded, terrestrial only.

Hell still sometimes I'll type "flatpack" instead and it'll just say "hey dumbass that's not a thing," but even then I just go "lol whoops" and fix it, no problem!

Like sure learning the commands is an adjustment but once you learn a couple I still think Linux ends up being easier for simple stuff like that installing/updating, etc.

Dude tbh I had to install chrome on a friends laptop last week (not because he couldn't, just because we needed it and I happened to be the one on the keys), and I legit couldn't do it for a sec. I had to go to google, google "google chrome," get the DL page, dl, run installer, etc.

I literally said "goddammit why can't I just type 'flatpak install google chrome' in the terminal?!" (Would have gone with apt/dnf, but I wouldn't know his sudo password, though he could have just entered it had it been needed).

I can barely install an app on windows (anymore), and I think linux is actually easier as long as you don't have to compile from source. Less likely to get Gogle-Chorme.exe too..

Yeah they complain when they're censored, but love when they're the ones censoring. Just try and say "free speech is good" literally anywhere on lemmy, you'll be called a nazi. Same goes for most sites for most political leanings, even many that do claim they like free speech, post something anathema to their hivemind and you very well may be banned.

Very few actually want free speech, because it includes speech they think is bad and almost universally they think that should be shunned to make them more comfortable, that goes for tankies and nazis and everyone in between.

I've still never seen anyone claim them to be free speech advocates, especially not anyone that runs those instances. I have seen the users complain about being censored elsewhere though, to be fair, you're definitely right about that.

Who said it was censorship free? They're very pro censorship, in fact most people are, actually.

You do in the right circumstances...

I'll take a half.

Hey dingus, it's not complaining about you, it's about being sad for you that you'll never experience that level of innovation since companies are all "minecraft fortnite skyrim again" and nothing else.

 

New list is up! Really short for me this week it seems, just one:

Sacrificers #15 - I'm still loving this series!

Well that's it lol. What're you pulling?

From The World Of Minor Threats Welcome To Twilight #1 - More Minor Threats, not the OGs but so far it's all good, so I'm in. The world itself it just so neat, I want to know more about the city itself almost more than its "notable" inhabitants. I want to know about the day to day, see some background on stuff only mentioned or hinted at, it's just so neat!

Defiant #1 - Looks ok, but "for fans of Dune, Firefly.." well that is me, so I'll grab it.

Assorted Crisis Events #1 - Weird time travel shit, could be neat!

Geiger #12 - Still going

Hive #2 - Yeesh I should read #1 tomorrow...

Moon Is Following Us #7 - behind on it but still picking them up.

Well that's it for me, what're y'all pulling?

 

I'd rather ask my piracy and privacy respecting community here where it can benefit us all than read some dumb gismodo link called "top 15 android torrent clients," so, what are people using for some light android torrenting these days? Preferably something on f-droid if ya got it!

 

New list is up! Short one for me this week it seems

Hyde Street #4 - My favorite Ghost Machine title so far.

Cruel Kingdom #3 - Might have missed #2, but #1 was good!

That's it lol, what are you grabbing this week?

Unrecognized nodes? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Got my first two devices on tuesday and I've been traveling around with them! Seems the t114 has much better range but is a less convenient package of course (and damn amazon didn't ship my GPS module, so now that is on the way with an upgraded antenna and a heltec v3 cause why not?)

I've been able to make a few connections, but I had a couple questions about some of them.

I've been able to connect to a few nodes around town, even got one reply, but there seems to be two categories of nodes, some "recognized" and some "unrecognized." Does anyone know why that could be? Can I still talk to them if they're unrecognized, and/or do they still route packets? Can I fix that or do the other nodes' owners have to?

Glad I finally got into it, been having fun and apparently my area has some activity (even if I'm in a deadzone at the bottom of a hill for now.)

Edit: Ok I keep forgetting about redlib so I think I don't have access to Ye Olde Country because VPN and I refuse all apps, but I just remembered and searched there! So if anyone else has this question like me it seems that:

Simply not enought packets have arrived to get that info

No nodeinfo received. Either wait longer or request user info manually.

And

These appear to be running an older version of the meshtastic firmware [pre-2.5] which likely do not have an updated public key.

 

New list is up! Short one for me, which is fine because instead of picking up last week I got into meshtastic and let my comics sit in my box lol. Let's see..

Toxic Avenger #5 - The End. Was better than it should have been!

Black Hammer Spiral City #4 - Mantis P.I. has been good so far.

Warm Fusion #2 - I think I missed #1?

Space Ghost #10 - Behind as hell but still picking them up.

Well that's it for me, what're you pulling?

 

Hey everyone, I hope this is ok to post here! I've been putting off getting into meshtastic for a while now but the time has come to play around with it. I have done some research but I always like to talk to real people if possible for real world advice and experience, not just youtube salesman and AI top ten lists. I have minimal experience with radio, but some.

As to meshtastic the research I've done has pointed me to a few LoRa boards, the heltec t114 v2, and the Lilygo t-beam, and also the Lilygo T-deck plus.

I really would love to have a phoneless standalone set up, but have seen some stuff about the T-deck lacking good firmware and so it isn't "ready," but then I've seen some people say to the contrary that some good firmware exists now. Are there other better phoneless devices for meshtastic? Is the t-deck good enough now that I could pick that up now and add some t114s later to expand the network? Or should I go with a couple t114s, and wait til phoneless matures a little?

As for the phone using set ups, are there other boards I should look at instead of the t114 and the t-beam? I do require either it to come with a case or have available .stl files to print one, I suck at CAD.

My final questions are to the antennas, is there an antenna manufacturer that is commonly recommended for meshtastics (915 khz), and am I looking for SMA female or SMA male connectors on the antenna, or does that depend on the board in question? I tried searching the product page for the heltec board and SMA isn't mentioned anywhere according to ctrl+f. I see some kits with an antenna on amazon, but they don't mention either and I'm sure I'll want to upgrade the dinky rubber ducky it comes with.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, double thanks if you responded, triple thanks if you have answers or any helpful links! I'm excited to be getting into the hobby here soon, and glad there's already a lemmy comm for it!

 

New list is up! Looks like a slimmer week for me thankfully

Eat Sleep Reap Repeat #1&2 - gonna have to special order these, looks fun though! Something about reaping souls, I've been sort of obsessed with the idea of multiple reapers having an agency of sorts and the office-like behavior therein since The Mighty Boosh's cab scene.

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #3 - You know me and my Minor Threats! Best superhero/villain series I've read so far, of course being that I'm not usually a fan of that stuff the competition is pretty slim, but still I'm not a fan generally but like this one, that's saying something!

Let This One Be A Devil #1 - Jersey Devil?! Let's fucking go. Dude also did one recently about Project Blue Book, I think me and this dude would get a long lol.

Herculoids #1 - ?!?!? Other people know this show?! I have to buy this to send to a friend, we used to get mega stoned and watch it lol.

Space Ghost #10 - I'm so behind..

w0rldtr33 #13 - Still haven't read 12 but it's on the "next" pile

I'm sure my shop will be delayed on some, but I'm fine with putting it off a little, I'm delayed anyway. Well that's it for me, what are you pulling?

 

List is up! I'm excited for some of these..

Into The Unbeing Part Two #1 - Liked the first run, I'll keep on it. Basic story, some people find a cave, but the cave might be somethings skull? Something...alive?

Creepshow In Love #1 - Creepshoooooow!

Geiger #11 - Dude honestly I'm about 4 behind on this

Hive #1 - "Mason Shaw is no one. A worker bee. All that changes when he crosses paths with a few stragglers trying to stay one step ahead of a queen with immense powers who is determined to control her hive no matter who she has to kill. Welcome to THE HIVE." Looks like it might be ok, I'll at least flip through it.

I Hate Fairyland #20 - The End of this one?

Moon Is Following Us #6 - The Continuation of this one.

That's it for me, what're you pulling?

 

New list is up!

Frankenstein New World The Sea Of Forever #1 - Anything Mike Mignola I'm down for

Batman Off-World #6 - Wait this is still running? Ok I'm already down for it.

Sacrificers #14 - This series still rules

Cruel Kingdom #2 - Shit I still haven't read the last one.

Short one for me but that's ok because I had to grab 3 weeks worth at once last week since my shop has had issues with Diamond (I think.) What're you pulling?

 

New list is up! Good one this week.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution #4 - Need more Turtles For Adults!

Ice Cream Man #43 - This issue is a series of one page horror vignettes by guest authors (all drawn/colored by Morazzo/O'Hallorhan iirc) of course with at least one being by W. Maxwell Prince (I think..), and including one by another favorite of mine, Patton Oswalt! Still one of my favorite comics out right now.

Seasons #1 - A horror story involving anthropomorphic seasons (winter, spring, summer, and autumn)? Ok sure I'll try it. Remender can go both ways for me, couldn't get into Low but love Sacrificers, so I'll at least look at a few issues.

Also add to that everything from last week, since my shop had none of it in stock. Idk what the hell is going on. Well, that's it for me, assuming my shop has any of it in stock.. What're you pulling?

 

This week's list is up! Sorry I'm a day late lol, I had the day off yesterday so my brain still thinks this is Monday lol. Looks like some good stuff this week!

Toxic Avenger #4 - I really shouldn't like this as much as I do lol.

Black Hammer Spiral City #3 - I like this Black Hammer universe, I need to catch up on the older stuff.

Creepshow Volume 3 #5 - End of the line for the third run, it's been great! Already eagerly anticipating the 4th! Looks like my copy might be coming in next week though, my shop has been having delay issues with Diamond, and it looks like Lunar ships it this week and Diamond the next, so who the hell knows.

Drawing Blood #7 - Behind on this series.

Hyde Street #3 - Really been digging the Hyde St universe (which is distinct from the other THREE Ghost Machine universes.) It's my favorite out of the lot actually, I need to know the details about everything they've been teasing!

w0rldtr33 #12 - Oh shit it's back! Looks like they're going into PH34R's backstory! Let's fucking go.

That's it for me, what're you pulling this week?
