I’m going to say Alpine/postmarketos. The reason I say both is pmos uses Alpine as a base, but a lot of the code is built from the ground up as its a linux distro designed to run on mostly ARM devices (old phones and tablets. Even some old iOS devices!)
everything is political shit as we evolved passed being hunter/gatherers :P
that’s fair have a nice day.
youre on lemmy. that in itself is political. get off lemmy.
Bridge meshes could be interesting. Like if I could convince a friend to get one as well, then we could use meshtastic when were nearby each other or miles apart.
MQTT is kind of a PITA to get working. I had to use MQTT-Explorer to figure out a proper configuration. It seems since then, the developer has started using Copilot to write and test the application.
Oh wow! I was not aware how inexpensive pre-builts were. I may just pick one of those up then. Thank you for the link!! Is there any benefit of having nodes connected to MQTT? Ive heard theres some smart-home applications for people with acres of land, but would you say theres a usecase for people who live in an apartment or in.the suburbs?
If you don’t mind, would I be able to pick your brain? I’m trying to get into meshtastic but I’m kind of confused on where to start. I have a couple ESP32s, and I know I need some sort of lora radio for them. Do you have any good starter guides/resources?
This looks cool asf. I wish I could have enough time in the day to set something like this up.
This feels a bit fear-monguerish. People should be worried about state surveillance, not Giuseppe the first time business owner installing local CCTV for theft prevention.
I don’t like the idea of being recorded without consent, but i also am more worried about Flock, Ring and Nest services more than I am general CCTV. Most CCTV systems are local, and not uploaded to a central Palintir powered AI database. This graphic feels misleading without disclosing if CCTV counts as “locally owned camera used for insurance claims” or if it means “No warrant needed government surveillance device”.
edit: and this source is sketchy as fuck. What does “Visual Capitalist” mean?? The website provides no “about” page, in fact it provides nothing outside of an infinitely scrolling “posts” page and a “sign in/sign up” button. It looks like venture capitalist startup garbage. https://www.voronoiapp.com/
edit 2: I found the actual source, and the actual source says basically the same thing I did.
Where possible, we have only included public CCTV cameras, including cameras installed on public buildings, cameras used by law enforcement, cameras installed on public transport, and traffic cameras with surveillance capabilities (i.e. automatic number plate recognition). However, in some instances, it may not be clear what cameras are included, meaning some private camera figures may also be included in the totals. We believe this may be the case for Indore.
So this admission, in my opinion, taints the study entirely. I’m not going to say surveillance isn’t a problem. Surveillance is a HUGE problem, but we should be relying on hard facts, not grey area statistics that may or may not be true. Flock ALPR cameras are funded by Palintir. Palintir is Peter Theils brainchild. Palintir’s goal is the mass profiling and survilleing of the general populace. Palintir has partnerships with international companies, so it is not limited to US surveillance. All of these are hard facts that can be easily proven with no grey area. If we want the general population to start giving a fuck, we need to stick to those kinds of facts.
HOLY SHIT THIS ANALOGY IS PERFECT
(and if youre okay with a closed source android app)
You mean meshtastic?
Sure, I can answer that for you! ☺️ Here is the answer to your question—“What is Flesch Kinkaid?”
Flesch Kinkaid was an American painter of popular realistic, pastoral, and idyllic subjects. He is notable for achieving success during his lifetime with the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions and other licensed products by means of the Flesch Kinkaid Company. According to Kinkaid’s company, at one point one in every 20 American homes owned a copy of one of his paintings. 🫨
Wow—That sure is a lot of paintings! 🖼️ Would you like me to look into how many paintings the average American home contains? 🇺🇲
/uj on a more serious note, yeah I had to look up what Flesch Kinkaid is (without AI, the old fashioned way), but i dont feel like small gaps in knowledge like that should be the bar for people with literacy skills. Literacy is more about being able to read and understand natural language. Knowing about that specific test is not a sign of literacy.
not a fan of either party but i agree with this decision
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but the entire us just banned new routers from being purchased: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c74787w149zo
If youre on linux, give Phoenix for Firefox a shot. It installs a bunch of enterprise rules to harden Firefox, so youre always on the latest security patches but never with AI/Telemetry bs.
Librewolf is also pretty good, but i mention phoenix because it is vanilla firefox
or the head of the HOA giving a $500 fine for the $100 basketball hoop not being approved before “installation”
From my POV, the “if we didnt spend so much on military we could have healthcare” argument boils down to someone holding 2 opinions and presenting it as 1.
Opinion 1: War is bad, we should spend less money on the military and stop creating new wars
Opinion 2: Healthcare should be government subsidized (Universal Healthcare). If we are already anti-war, let’s put the savings from not doing war into healthcare.
I understand your point completely though. Most Americans are paying more than their fair share, while the oligarchy clan pays less than one of us at the bottom. We (the 99%) should be able to get healthcare by taxing appropriately and getting rid of the corruption at the top. It shouldnt be tied to military spending.
I think what you’re saying is correct. It “widens the lens” of the issues out to the system being corrupt which is completely true. I dont think most people have faith we can fix the system (at least within the next 2-6 years), so we are coping with smaller thoughts of just having the option to be anti war and pro UHC.
No one commenting about this post being political. Curious!
