Observation:
I've been a lot of places this last year and done a ton of work. Travelled somewhere in the ballpark of 23,000 miles since June.
Things are declining at a rapid rate. Seeing is believing. The cities are fucked up (mega cliche incoming) dystopian nightmares and the smaller towns are becoming walled off insular communities where they suspect all outsiders and challenge you on the street as to why you are in town if they don't recognize you.
The cities seem to be trying to push the normies out and suck the people who have serious mental health and drug issues in. Don't know why.
In some of the medium sized towns it looks like they are building tons of apartment complexes. Maybe the idea is to move the city people out there and change voting demographics. Spread the 'wealth."
The cities are absolutely inundated with the "housing challenged." Every small stream or river on the edge of every city has strange garbage dump communities on their banks. Burned out cars, piles of the nastiest of garbage, huts made of stolen tyres and stolen plywood and cheap blue tarpaulins.
The mentally ill scream and curse you in the streets even as you drive by. They wrap themselves in smelly stained blankets and instead of asking for spare change they ask for $20. If you give them anything other than $20 they curse you and threaten you.
Drug use is obvious in the city, drug manufacturing is obvious in the small towns. People in the city are high, worn out in worn out shoes. Every small town has a couple of people with no jobs but they drive jacked up diesel pick ups or small stanced foreign hot rods with chrome edged leaned out mudflaps.
If the Spirit of America or the American Dream ever really existed it feels like it is gone. The soul of the world has been ripped out. Everyone is gutted and angry and resentful of you working or resentful that you don't refuse to work to fight an unseen force in a war that exists in their mind. Houses are covered in political propaganda and they are freshly cleaned and painted, lawns manicured by a mixed fuel of confusion and rage.
I don't think we are going to come out of this one. It us a straight nose dive, screaming and hurtling toward the earth, weighed down by black depression and purple greed. There is no center.

Shout-out(again) to @Gargron, the ActivityPub devs, and @eurasierboy for making my journey in the Fediverse possible! I know these tools don't just make themselves.

I am so tired of group texts, but it seems to be the only way my family plans things. It's annoying for hours, the interface is wonky...I would just start an XMPP server, but they wouldn't use it. Maybe if I got the kids to work on some site artwork and got them hooked up with their smart devices?
@blueberry I just noticed @Citizenzibb was gone, was going to ask them something...kinda sad. You keep in touch?
@stevelord So are the custom Retrozer0s you're making use the ESP32? If so, what kind of power consumption have you seen when running all out? I see that it can go into deep sleep down to 17ΞΌW. Also this might be an ignorant question, but if we're talking simple dedicated uses, how hard would it be to forgo an OS all together?
Eating some lentils for lunch and was curious. Will make room in the garden for these.

I just woke up from a terrible nightmare. If you were to ask me what I was afraid of, I would have had a hard time answering you before. Spiders, snakes on a plane, clowns? No, I was just about to be inaugurated as the POTUS on the 20th. Having the weight of so much responsibility just thrust upon me, unexpectedly, was absolutely terrifying. Pray for our leaders, they need it. It really made me think about the gravity of the Bible verse about Jesus, "and the government will be on His shoulders".

Armbian installed and / has been moved to the ssd. Armbian is great BTW.
Not the best picture, poor girl is getting the last few teeth in, but she is wearing a dress that her great great grandmother made for my mother. It is of excellent quality and the first of many that she is big enough to wear. My great grand parents wore a lot of hats to make ends meet, but there is no doubt that my great grandmother was a talented seamstress. My guess is that these dresses were made of leftover fabric from well to do clients.
