Trying to avoid proprietary things, where possible. Especially at the protocol/application layer. Lora and other chirp based protocols are incredibly cool, and I've been playing wi…

> the channels are controlled and watched Do you think that ham radio couldn't be? Or isn't? What you really want is privacy, authz/authn concerns, and decentralization, it sounds …

Yeah, I definitely think they come from an era where we all didn't have a pocket communicator that plugs us into any community at will. When I flung packets across the bay with a f…

Yes, but ham radio is all about being open and a community of people communicating together. And if that's the use case you want, you should look elsewhere.... At least, that's wha…

It took me almost a decade to become licensed because I couldn't find any tests that weren't at 9am on a sunday, an hour drive away. Maybe that seems like a low bar, because it is!…

> illegal to transmit encrypted data over the air While a massive restriction, you can prevent interference (but not eavesdropping!) by signing your payloads. Maybe it's because ha…

I said 40 years for a reason ;) But yes, those laws were horrible, and stifled innovation.

But you can "buy less stuff" in general. And that will reduce your impact.

I'm not entirely convinced that fully disconnecting is necessary, although it is nice. Instead, I take an old phone without any work stuff on it, and go moto camping. Occasionally,…

>I think the only time I've found people this far off the main track is users that only know C#/mono coming from Unity Engine. Damn, almost direct hit. I was a game developer for a…

Frankly, I don't remember. It's been a long time and using .net was a failed experiment. >Why were you targeting mono then? Well here's another issue with .net I ran into... really…

Ah yeah, I was using core I think. Sorry, it's been a while, I kinda glazed over the acronyms and names over time. Since it was my own project, I really was trying to do things "th…

Yes, I quite like C#, the language. That's why I put so much effort into trying to make it work - it's become one of my favorite languages!

it's been about a year but it was a death by a thousand papercuts kinda thing. I want to add that I was not an experienced python developer at the time - I'd used it for a handful …

I started a project that I hope to maybe turn into a product (foss/community edition hybrid approach). One of the tech stacks I evaluated was mono-based, using c# and the .net libr…

Correct. These vaccines are pretty safe, but we're at the part of the cycle where we're able to shave off .1% of risk, and thus are doing so.

For what it's worth, this guy is also known as "Tron Guy", one of the first widespread famous internet meme/personalities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Maynard#/media/File:Tro…

Car accidents resulting in fatality are relatively uncommon, thanks to modern safety standards, and Tesla FSD doesn't have nearly as many miles as it needs. Your sample size is way…

> scroll back a few days I did and I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Could you do it and post here so that I can verify what you're talking about?

>Sure you document such stuff before releasing it? These are all likely documented internally - the process of cleaning it up is probably something they only care to do once a year…

I can't go too into details, but now that the AOP is doing cryptographical operations and key escrow, the internal bus is likely to show up in future documents. Maybe not the AOP b…
