Got some new Meshtastic tags in to test for off-grid comms. The idea is to put them on my dogs for hikes so if they get loose, I can track them within a few miles using Meshtastic, and yes, they have GPS too. IP66 rated and I believe a 1000mAh battery too. #Meshtastic #Radio #offgrid

This one fixes a lot of that: 2400mAh battery instead of 850mAh, plus a built-in carabiner clip for my backpack. I also tested the stock antenna and the SWR was bad, over 3. Luckily the yellow antenna I planned to use instead tested at 1.2. #meshtastic #radio #amateurradio

It’s interesting looking at the analytics for my @npub1d7w…zwl9 bot. Of all the solar weather features, the Aurora forecast is by far the most loved by the #HamRadio community. Also noticing Mastodon is way ahead with 38 followers vs Bluesky’s 9. I’m planning to experiment with the Threads API eventually so some of my bots can post there too, but it’s low priority. Threads still kinda sucks in terms of capabilities and engagement.

Threads is something else. I shared a genuine critique that Apple isn’t as intuitive as people think—coming back after years, even as a former user, it’s confusing. But apparently, that’s “engagement bait”? Since when is honest feedback bait? Intuitive means it just works, right?

Read further in, it reads as if it only applies to things like actual things that can look like firearms like replicas, paintball guns, firearm accessories or more.
There's a total different argument for artwork that is 2D which in no way shape or form can actually be used to harm anyone. Like I said I am having the same things engraved in Germany which has very tight laws and regulations around similar things.

As a cybersecurity professional, I’ve been involved in investigations where employee communications exposed leaks of proprietary info. This isn’t unique to TikTok—it’s just how corporations operate globally. Share non-public data, and there are consequences.

Every argument I hear against TikTok could just as easily apply to U.S. social media companies. The most “shocking” claim? TikTok fired employees for speaking to reporters and leaking non-public info. Hate to break it to you: that’s standard corporate policy, not a conspiracy.

The push for a TikTok ban has revealed a glaring irony: the USA is so concerned about TikTok spreading propaganda, yet the loudest voices supporting the ban are feeding us propaganda of their own. Yes, I’m sure China cares deeply about our cat videos and dance trends. 🙄

Bluesky has officially hit 20,000,000 users! This is quite amazing to see as I was among the first 50,000 people on Bluesky back during the invite days.

Bluesky's nearing 20M users! My Bluesky following is now 80% of my Twitter when I stopped posting a year ago. Mastodon has grown to 2x my old Twitter size, while Threads has stagnated at around 1/3 my Twitter following for weeks. Fascinating growth trends! 📈 https://bcounter.nat.vg/

2024-11-17 06:31:48 UTC

See as Threads basically has almost no engagement, and even my Bluesky has almost double the followers of my Threads. I may be removing mentions of Threads from my links, YouTube, twitch and more.
I will still crosspost to Threads but focus will be on Mastodon and Bluesky

This just about sums up what happened. Still blows my mind we voted for a criminal. May as well vote for P Diddy next election at this rate

Can we just start publicly shaming people who are on speaker in public? No one wants to hear your conversation and no one wants to hear your music.

Woohoo I got the #BlueSky #Mastodon and #Threads #YouTube video pretty much all finished with the majority of editing. Now it's just a matter of rewatching it, adding a few more images and memes, plus some background music. It will be 54 minutes long, my longest yet!

Seem to be having an issue with the #Mastodon feed on @npub1nwk…dgjz it’s not loading anything before 18 hours ago, tried clearing cache and restarting app. I can see mastodon posts in the other feed.
Trying to consolidate to one app for #Bluesky and Mastodon

All these people bickering on which platform is better and I’m over here crossposting to them all from one singular app. Apparently OpenVibe has Nostr support too but not sure how I am feeling about Nostr IMHO. Anyone have feedback on that one? #nostr

When I was younger we were forced to do the pledge of allegiance in class. Then after 9/11 we also did the Star Spangled Banner. My teachers would always get so mad that since second grade whenever we were done I would always yell, "PLAY BALL!" like we were at a baseball game. My parents laughed

I have Zapier from when I used to use Twitter don't they have some limits? And since when did they add Mastodon integration?

I just want to say I am proof after getting CISSP, that you don't need a college degree to be in the field of IT and Cybersecurity. Hard work alone and lots of tinkering and homelabbing alone can be a path for many of us.
The CISSP is my first ever cert I have attained. Not sure where to go from here, but at least I can say I definitely worked my ass off to get here.
Plus look ma' no massive student loan debt!

yup and I have witnessed at a prior job where we had Russian employees all get caught at the Russian border trying to flee during the start of the Ukrainian crisis. Everyone using Signal and Whatsapp were fine, everyone using Telegram was stopped. Coincidence? Maybe, but I don't think so.

yup it really irks me that Musk and other hypocritically jumped to "they're attacking free speech" like bro... A lot of what happens on that app would be appalling to most, they aren't going after WhatsApp, @npub1rkw…5q62 , or @npub1m9z…whzq . They just went after Telegram as they notoriously were bad at moderating for things that should be moderated on their open and unencrypted channels. There were so many blatant cryptocurrency and other scams I discovered on there.

2024-08-27 12:54:29 UTC

It irks me the amount of people that jump to conspiratorial reasons for Telegram's founder being arrested. It's not like the platform has been notoriously bad at moderating the open and unencrypted channels with CSAM, Arms trafficking, Drug trafficking, frauds, and scams. I've never cared much for the platform and when I had reported legitimate issues I have noticed, they wouldn't do anything about it.

Do not ever eat from the hot bars at supermarkets that’s the only thing I can think of that gave me food poisoning. Had to call off work and hurl my guts up all night because of the Whole Foods hot bar. NEVER EVER eating that again

like I’ve said they’re still developing the tech. You do realize this is all new, and again moving goalposts. You’re acting as if this wasn’t new tech only a few years ago and tech doesn’t change over time 🤦‍♂️.
As far as drilling down we started on ERP, you went left field into healthcare. That’s a goalpost move when I never mentioned healthcare. This all started because you asked for one example of utility and I gave one, and then kept moving the goalpost. Have a good day

there’s many articles how blockchain can be used in healthcare.
This one is from HHS for example https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/blockchain-for-healthcare-tlpwhite.pdf

you keep moving goal posts, first it’s Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP. I show how they are doing blockchain, now it’s FDA because they’re not selling you something but the FDA isn’t ERP, they are government and I already said government is slow to adopt new technology I mean the government still uses systems running FORTRAN FFS. You want to talk healthcare we have Deloitte and others proposing solutions for it https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/public-sector/articles/blockchain-opportunities-for-health-care.html

Accumatica one of the ERP's I mainly helped consult for has been working on blockchain related things as far as 2017 I can recall.
Many banks are still looking into blockchain related solutions. There's a few integrations into SAP, Oracle has a blockchain solution as well... https://www.oracle.com/blockchain/ don't know how you missed that one.

blockchain can be updated, and yes it’s being looked at for many ERP’s in private blockchains. I used to do ERP consulting. Do a little googling you’ll see there’s a lot of people looking into private blockchains to solve many problems that don’t involve cryptocurrency.
Don’t conflate what cryptocurrency does with what a private blockchain is capable of doing.

2024-07-08 20:01:02 UTC

which relies on an additional function, but that doesn't change the fact a private blockchain can be better for many types of softwares or industries such as financial, and especially in the ERP world. Many companies have been looking to blockchain to fix a lot of complaints with most databases for the past few years.

It's not really trivial when you can modify a SQL database without an audit trail. Blockchain relies on the output of the previous block to determine the next block so if you go back and alter it, it invalidates blocks forward.
These are actual benefits known to blockchain, and keep in mind I am saying blockchain which can exist outside of cryptocurrency. You can have blockchain without being tied to cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency happens to be one of the most well known uses of it
