Adjusted my nanorc to be more screen reader friendly. Also made speech-dispatched speak all the special characters so I know wtf is actually on the screen. Might want to extend my reader to handle reading camel case and snake case along with how it pitches up for capitalized words.

It's not even that I like #OpenSource software just for the freedom. Proprietary software keeps getting worse while open source gets less buggy. Just a few months ago I had problems that are non issues now since someone fixed them for free without trying to get me dependant on some subscription service for it.

So, my observations on #meshtastic and #meshcore so far:

Meshtastic seems like the thing you'd bring on a trip. Excellent for adhoc communication in a smaller area without any established network. One firmware does it all. Very chatty and limited to only 3 jumps, making long distance a challenge. Bring it on a trekking trip or a multi vehicle road trip. Great for tactical and ad hoc deployment.

MeshCore is less ad hoc. While the companion firmware can talk directly to each other, the network's backbone are devices with the repeater firmware. MeshCore supports routing discovery (with fallback) and limits unnecessary repeating by enabling only specific regions. When you have up to 64 hops available, messages intended for your neighborhood shouldn't be repeated to the next city over. Configure this right, and it scales like crazy. Use MeshCore at home. Put a repeater on your roof. Build a consistent mesh and a community. This is where MeshCore shines.

Microsoft are telling customers there is no ETA to resolution and they may want to review their DR plans for their SaaS services.

"Customers may wish to review their business continuity and disaster recovery plans and take actions appropriate for their environment."

I like how minimal and fast https://pi.dev is and it mostly plays nice with my local models. It's absolutely not screen reader friendly and their streaming rendering approach means each sentence gets repeated over and over again with each added word. 💀

Working for large corporations erodes your future prospects as a worker because it makes it easier for a few giants to collude to reduce the average salary with coordinated mass layoffs. This is why there's so many white collar jobs being destroyed, not because "ai" is going to replace them all.
