Following a post on r/ossmalta on Meshtastic, I decided to invest in a couple of radios and see what was out there. I also left it turned on while I travelled to Warsaw over Xmas and saw what I could see. OSSMalta has a page about their ambitions (slow link).

A combination of age (sedentary work) and too much good food has left me heavier than I’d like plus acutely aware of the intra-abdominal fatty deposits so I’m back on the diet that worked well enough just under a decade ago. My aim is to be lighter than I’ve been since, well, forever. That’s a Continue reading "The Hardest Journey" Related posts: Did the EU force Apple to adopt USB-C? Belfast…
In 2022, a law was passed by the European Parliament that required all manufacturers of certain types of consumer electronics to switch to the USB-C connector. Apple, though not alone, was opposed to this. You don’t hear about who else was opposed because, well, no-one cares. Journalists love a good Apple story as it drives Continue reading "Did the EU force Apple to adopt USB-C?" Related posts:…
This morning as I was running early for meetings, I dug out my old Raspberry Pi devices that I have sitting in a drawer.
