Have you ever seen me talking about Reticulum and gone :ablobcatgooglymlem: ?
:blobcatthink: Have you ever wanted a visual example showing how Reticulum’s routing works?
Well have I got the GIF for you! :blobwizard:

360 photo orbs are neat. Is there an open standard format for these kinds of files?

"America sees the absurdities—she sees the kingdoms of Europe, disturbed by wrangling sectaries, or their commerce, population and improvements of every kind cramped and retarded, because the human mind like the body is fettered 'and bound fast by the chords of policy and superstition': She laughs at their folly and shuns their errors: She founds her empire upon the idea of universal toleration: She admits all religions into her bosom; She secures the sacred rights of every individual; and (astonishing absurdity to Europeans!) she sees a thousand discordant opinions live in the strictest harmony ... it will finally raise her to a pitch of greatness and lustre, before which the glory of ancient Greece and Rome shall dwindle to a point, and the splendor of modern Empires fade into obscurity."
- Noah Webster, 1781

Een vleestaks kan gunstig zijn voor de natuur, dieren, boeren en de volksgezondheid. Consultancybureau EY bestempelde de heffing als ‘onuitvoerbaar’. Maar dat onderzoek, in opdracht van het ministerie van Landbouw, is volgens experts gekleurd en eenzijdig. Niet zo gek, omdat het ministerie de opdracht zo formuleerde dat de uitkomst vooraf al bijna vaststond. ftm.nl/artikelen/onderzoek-ey-

Tolkein: "What if there was a magical artefact that let you communicate across long distances, but it was addictive and secretly spied on you and fed you disinformation and filled you with paralysing despair?"
Me: "That's a phone."

@Berrybunchfamily @StevenBerry I was wondering how you were doing, glad you're not feeling too bad. Thank God for modern medicine!

@mary and I watched Flight of the Navigator last night. I loved that movie growing up and is is still good! Tonight we watched Life After the Navigator and it's about the life of the child actor after the film...People, don't treat your kids like adults, know where they are, and keep them as far away from addictive snares as possible. It was a sad story about Joey Cramer's fall through the cracks, but he has gotten up and we're rooting for him and everyone else in his shoes!

@bjtitus I have a Starlink and loved it, but the antenna got broken by hail. That isn’t covered by the warranty and I haven’t bought a new one. When I cancelled the service, I got a confirmation, but I kept getting charged. There was literally no way to contact a human. I just disputed the charge on my card and they finally stopped. We use Starlink on several construction offices, it’s easier to setup and move, and much better than cellular data.

@christopher That’s pretty extreme! I dabbled in barefoot in 2003, but only was able to run 2-3 miles before my feet hurt. It was a really weird thing to do then, but now looks less crazy. That’s a shame about your back. Don’t underestimate walking. I’ve had back injuries that hopefully won’t stop me. After such a long hiatus from running, it occurred to me that I might lose the ability if I didn’t act now.

I swapped out Linux Mint for Devuan today on a couple of displays in the house. Mint was getting kinda bloated and I needed very few of the packages that I saw in updates. Not a fan of systemd either. Seriously though, I haven't missed fooling around with wifi drivers. Between those and a problem with the USB installer, I wasted more time than it was probably worth.

Since I started training for a marathon, I've been transitioning to minimal/barefoot shoes because there is a convincing amount of evidence that suggests that modern shoes increase injury. It reminded me of the 2000 year old Roman shoes that were found in a well. Wow.

@N3VEM I use Telnyx and like them. I don’t do anything fancy, just run a landline and Librem 5 with them.

@deutrino There is something similar with NomadNet now…
