 @a6a77f57 @b92dcc07 @bf18b143 That is a nice tagline but don't forget the truth rarely rhymes or is a witty tagline.

Real work needs to be done organizing the various parts of #it #labor force 
 Thinking a lot recently, about interesting signal propagation methods. 

Typical 2.4/5ghz wireless transmissions being omni-directional (insecure for 1). Of course, not counting you using a yagi steal wifi from far directional distances, or bridge distant buildings

Been thinking about propagating ultrasound in water, between UAV nodes, and have been inspired by this pre-computer technology in the UK. A series of concave stones, used in sequence can propagate signal

 @3ddab33a When they going to add mPCI or M.2 slots? One with a dev board like a router/switch would be cool too. Never been a fan of the default form factor.

Does this require a heatsink or other cooling? Does anyone know the average temperature vanilla of the ARM chip? 
 @b92dcc07 
Felt incredibly silly/embarrassed after reading through that article and it literally addressing every thought I had about it and more; but that's okay, it is apart of the learning process

Lesson learned I will do my research better next time

I love the way you have been more ambitious with your mixture of labor issues and technology, you are one of a kind 💜 
 @b92dcc07 You are probably already aware of this; but if you are not, the character limit is defined by the instance. 

For example, I believe pleroma.social has 5,000 instead of default of 500. 

Mastodon.de has 4,000 as their character limit. 

Unfortunately there is no easy or builtin migration functionality that I'm aware of. 

But I don't mind the method you are using, just thought it might save you time. 
 @5b00f2ed *Sigh* the block chain is even the interesting component of a failure of an experiment 

It's not an accident it's not named blockcoin

It has essentially a single use case, and arguably none w/o a sensible consensus protocol which has yet to be proposed b/c all current proposals don't accomplish stated goals

If there is magic in cryptocurrency its so obviously asymmetric cryptography+merkle tree. 

Hence the  name Bitcoin, as in BitTorrent b/c the common use of merkle tree 
 @b92dcc07 I have read all of your books, and I didn't even pirate all of them just most. ❤️ 

I also was CCC once and saw you in a small talk I was in but. was too shy to say "hi".

Hope you are doing well. I read through what you have been posting and I love it. Very happy to find you here. 
 IF we are going to be forced to have the word "plandemic" introduced into our lexicon.

Then we should at least use it correctly, like opioid plandemic, or fentanyl plandemic. 

Far more evidence of that than COVID-19.

 @872ab8e1 Remember when they were hacking routers from their cars taking pictures of everything and got a fixed rate fine from like the 1920's? Don't worry no one else does either.

 @425a31b8 I thought this would be obvious, but their solutions will be like adding nano silver particles or something similarly potentially dangerous to solve such a simple problem: clean your wrist regularly.
