Agreed!

Really? Cause im seeing new stuff all the time. Maybe you need to find more things to subscribe to? Piefed hasva ton they give you the option to subscribe to as well as feeds (groups of like communities you can subscribe to).

I had one. It was great.

Looks neat! https://www.heyvictorfrost.com/workshop/Community_hub_V1

Honestly it just looks a bit different. Same community and people (one of the benefits of the fediverse). I remember it was a fork of another project (I want to say Kbin but im not sure).

Filters make the fediverse so much nicer :)

I might have to make a couple more after all of this.

Theres a couple people I saw recently that went though the process of getting another job.

One was network engineer, he was snatched up really quick (less than a week looking). Another was a software developer and had a harder time (something around a month from what they told me in the meetup).

Both were remote.

I know it kinda sucks…but there are still jobs out there. They are just not in the MAANGA world ATM. I personally think those companies are trying to get beyond having staff as much as possible (which is silly).

I have the same ipod for the last 10 years. My ebook reader is from 12+ years ago. I see young people buying vynals for some reason.

When everything is an app to be streamed, physical goods seem to have an appeal.

Ed when i need to get into a server and i have no clue whats running.

Nano when i know whats running and i cant install things.

Vim when i can install things.

At wprk we use vscode wnd jetbrains products but they are omly ok. I still like vim more.

Yep! Ive used things that work perfectly for years in COBOL. It mostly doesnt matter what a thing is made out of unless I have to look under the hood and fix something.

Rust is fine. Its not revolutionary though its just another language. I made some cool one offs with it. But its everything else thats an issue.

We had things break at work because of rust-coreutils. I dont particularly care that its made in rust. It just needs to be stable and compatible.

However, the project is not 100% compatible with GNU coreutils. Putting aside the licensing issues, if it cant do what it says on the tin, then it should be on experimental linux distros not our most popular distros.

But this is linux/FOSS so people will do what they want. It means I wont use Mint, but its also ok for Mint to decide this. GL! hope everything works out either way.

oh nice, maybe ill give it a shot.

Its for fun. :)

To expand on what others have said:

Meshtastic:

Has more users
Has really good info on traceroutes, historical details on signal strength, etc…

MeshCore:

Messages often get recieved because of a better* algorithm (much higher hop limit). Chat feature makes a node into a chatroom. Messages get saved and anyone logging in can see messages.

Both are good. I wish they did more work interop TBH. But both are in their early days. reticulum is also another protocol in the space. Much harder to set up but actually is more like everyone things of a mesh network (websites are hosted/viewed via multiple ways).

Ive worked and contributed to both mesh projects. They have VERY similar hardware so its really just differences between what you want to play around with. In an actual emergency though…walkie talkies are MUCH better (as well as ARPA).

!meshtastic@mander.xyz is where we hang out.

I find it does this off and on. If you change the user agent or open the site in desktop mode itvsuddenly goes away. They are still tryingbto push the app. And the app still looks terrible. Rif used to be my jam.

I did the same. Thres even a tool that lets you pull everything from github real easy.

Once PR/issue federation works…its going to be SOL for GitHub. Or just a slow decline.

Fairly talkative but you only see half the convos most of the time.

Yeah work is thinking of switching.

Gl! It only gets better if you put in the work. We dont agree but hey thats life.

Have a good day.

Ive done my part!
