A generous member of the #AustinMesh passed out some FemtoFox nodes (Linux based with meshtasticd) to other members. github.com/femtofox
And as a bonus I received a Ikoka node as well! Same radio as the FemtoFox but is otherwise a minimalist low power node that includes a QWIIC connector for expansion.
It’s been an afternoon of fun exploring these new (to me) nodes. After meeting my “dealer” in a parking lot to pick up a baggy. 🤣

This relates directly to my explanation for why openbsd is "slow". Somebody does something dramatically stupid in a hot loop, but it happens to be optimized to hell and back on their platform, so they don't notice. Users will never blame the app ("works for me"), only the platform/os/etc.
Does anybody say tiktok is poorly coded? No, they say firefox is slow.

Sweet granny on toasted bread, the man really doesn't understand world-wide integrated supply chains does he?
His thinking dates from the post-WWII period, and even then the USA wasn't an island.

“Why is all the coal still here?”
“What? What do you mean?”
“Well, the coal is supposedly 300M years old. And the half life of carbon is 6000 years. Shouldn’t it all be gone by now?”

A Dallas man says reality show “The First 48” edited the episode to suggest he’d become a police informant, resulting in death threats.
In 2015, he was shot several times at a barber shop in an attack police say was connected to his appearance on the show.

These ants are almost cryptic. They live very very deep underground, forage during cold months when other ants are not seen, and they can't tolerate much heat at all. Very hard to keep as pets since they like about 55F and not more than 80F ever.
I still love them.
