Thanks to @concretedog I stumbled upon the quite affordable Meshtastic device XIAO ESP32S3 with the Wio-SX1262 LoRa module.
Ordered two days ago, arrived and flashed today. Works fine!
I also found a NEO-6M GPS module but not the GPS antenna yet... 18650 batteries ready, 3D printer ready - I guess it will be a fun weekend if I can spare some time 😉

Report: More Americans Moving Away From Urban Areas For Rural Life Where They Have Escalating Feud With Beaver

Meta so scared of former New Zealand diplomat's tell-all they're trying to have it banned.

'tis a good time to top off items in your first-aid and med kit ⚕️
Some extra info on listed meds (and their intended usage):
▪️Ibuprofen (Oral. Minor pain, and fever reducer, e.g., toothache, menstruation cramps, headache)
▪️Aspirin (Oral. Pain, fever, inflammation reducer, e.g., treat/prevent heart attacks, strokes, chest pain)
▪️Antihistamines (allergy relief)
▪️Motion sickness meds (scopolamine patches, dimenhydrinate, dramamine, etc)
▪️Insect repellant (Malaria and dengue prevention)
▪️Azithromycin (Oral. Treatment of bacterial infections, e.g., traveler's diarrhea, gastrointestinal infections, etc)
▪️Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Oral. Severe pain relief, fever reducer)
▪️Aloe vera gel with lidocaine (for burn relief)
▪️Bacitracin/Polysporin/Neosporine (Topical ointment. Prevents infection. For minor scrapes, cuts, and burns)
And finally, a list of extras that you may want to consider adding to your kit (depends on where you are located, if you're far from help, or expecting to have to treat severe wounds/illnesses yourself).
Ideally, it would be a good idea to learn how to use some of these ahead of time (like for a tourniquet, epinephrine injections, sutures, dental kit etc).
A hot water bottle is not necessarily an advanced item, but some people may not require it in their kit. It's useful to treat hypothermia(so, a good idea for sailors to carry).

The most used item from our kit was by far the tub of Sudocrem. It's a zinc oxide antiseptic cream that happens to be waterproof. For all those little scrapes, nicks and cuts you get around boats all the time. Ideal before swimming, because saltwater burns in the tiniest wounds and is full of life that would like to install itself in your body.
Also happens to reflect 100% of UV light, so you can rub it on your nose/ears if it's too windy to keep the bimini up.

Trump knows that his voters are about to find out he lied to them about the Ukraine war. This is the look of a man who has lost.

"Bad news for this world" Trump warns if Putin doesn't fall in line
"Bad news for this world," President Trump warns if President Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire. Watch the full interview this Sunday on Full MeasureYouTube
I don’t think his voters give a shit about the Ukraine war. They just know it’s a trump talking point and it pisses off the libs.
They’ll walk right past this lie because it’s not something they care about and, most importantly, they always look the other way when he’s caught bullshitting.
Otherwise the cognitive dissonance will short out their melons.

(just a small testserver, desktop still running linux)
All important services have been migrated to the new server (thanks to @0xd9a for his precious help on that work).
We now have a faster and more reliable server for our services such the FDroid repo, translations, Nitter instance and Fediplan.
We would like to ask your help on #Opencollective so we can pay one year of server charges in one time (around 370 euros are needed).
Thank you for helping.
