Kudos to @selea for jumping on the hotfix so quickly for this instance. No idea when, or if, that guy sleeps 😄

@stux And this right here is why I don't do development full time 😄

@selea Hah, that, my friend, seems a lot like ADHD. I can relate all too well to this. 😄

@m0xEE @evgandr @rl_dane Hindsight adds a lot for sure. A lot of security issues then, but it was a different time. I remember running packet captures on corporate and academic networks and just being awed by what I saw. Back then you didn't have many sites using TLS on the web; so much network traffic was just plaintext. Part a lack of computational power, part a lack of concern by the average computing consumer (using PGP for e-mail messaging back then was rare among us geeks, despite how accessible it was, lol still is I suppose). I jumped on the 64-bit XP OEM release back then, and it was a headache for what could run on it. It was clearly an afterthought for MS to do that with XP. Some 64-bit open-source projects could be compiled or had binaries to run, so I had a good albeit bumpy 2 year go with it. I still have the CD-ROM at home 😄I flipped to more than half the time in Linux in the early 2000s, after tinkering with it since 1996. If you wanted to play around with network services, yes, it blows Windows out of the water there, and I also prefer text configs over IIS and registry modifications 🙂When 64-bit became more mainstream, even Linux was slow to move except for the kernel (that was quick!). I've been with #ArchLinux since it came out, and I remember discussing on the forums and helping get more 64-bit applications going. Not that many years ago from today they have completely deprecated 32-bit, it's a side project. Oh man, have the times changed (and that's a good thing).XP was really a good UI, in my opinion though. The Control Panel was easy to pick up, and NT core was impressive back then. I also liked Windows 2000 over 98/ME for that NT reason. Way less telemetry, search just worked (Windows 10 and 11 are a mess on that still), and the UI stayed out of your way compared to Vista and beyond. That said, I spend most of my time in Linux these days for work, gaming, publishing, etc. It's the operating system that has best suited me for the past couple of decades.

Dangit, @selea. More energy this fall has gotten me looking into #Meshtastic. Furthermore, no, I don't have the time for it, but by golly, I want to and probably will make time for it 😄

Playing around a little with #Meshtastic this week with a couple of nodes, plus the portable card. 3D printed some cases too. Cool stuff; flashing is easy, but it needs tuning for location, and I wonder how reliable it will ultimately be (it is usable). I'll probably look at getting #mqtt going on it with #OpenGarage on my existing #homeautomation setup. #adhd brain is always thinking ahead. I wonder if I could do something with #ntfy as well 🤔

@selea They do; aria2 is pretty robost 🙂 I remember when download resumption became a thing; it made downloading #RedHat and #Slackware iso files easier over modem in the 90s, lol.

@m0xEE Ah yes, someone else's mind who wanders from the BBC 😆I have young kids, and they love playing a #retropi from time to time. Madden 98, MarioKart, Mario, Sonic, etc.

Dang, it's cold (-18 C overnight low for all you metric peeps). No #running outside lately. I intend to run on an indoor track during the week this week.

@selea That's running in shorts weather 😄I do miss the homeland of my ancestors, the weather is very similar in climate here.

@selea Haven't gotten any solar nodes up yet, likely next year. I have some land in a remote area, so I'll probably start there. Good to hear about the Seed Studio kit, I'll probably look there initially.Unrelated, how has GPS been for you with moving nodes? I'm still tuning that for my Heltec V3 and V4s nodes that move.

@selea Haha, that's funny. At least you may have someone to follow up with, though. It could also be AI harvesting your blog and having them copy & paste that, perhaps?

RE: https://sfba.social/@historyofpunkrock/115766880945594462I listened to the Lunachicks on CD back in the 90s. Theo has a vibrant, strong voice - glad the group took off during 90s punk scene. They did some work with NoFx back then too.
