I love mesh networks, and love the 1999 WAP standard. After I started thinkering with MeshCore I realised text is fun but what about the internet? WAP 1.x was built to be sent over SMS... this might work. Taking my WAP-over-SMS project and two ESP32s and voila!

WAP internet (all you actually need) over a fully decentralized network!

The past days we made a deal with Maartje’s company to place an order with other client equipment for a huge discount. We doubted between new and recycled: energy costs and reliability (plus software updates) made us order a new one. Our old one used 150watts 🤯continuously, which will now be at least 3x lower.

Junior Sysadmin Haj (npub16r4…k47r) saw a box arriving today and jumped right in 💕

Thanks to you all we have our broken equipment replaced tonight 🥰

Hi, as you might know blahaj.social :blahaj: is a small vulunteer ran incomeless part of the fediverse :blobhaj_hearthug:
We built it several years ago with recycled servers and network equipment.

Our Junior Sysadmin Haj (npub16r4…k47r) haj has been working hard but our core switch and one of our HDDs refused to come online after a power cut.
Donations to purchase a replacement are very welcome at https://blahaj.social/about (shark pictures are also very welcome 💕)

this last point is so true that food banks (hi i work in one) rarely get vegan food because they just stay good so long there is never any left over stock that is about to go bad... Any meat or milk products we receive plenty of because it is impossible for even modern supply chains not to waste it...

Hi 👋 Do you or a somebody you know own an NMBS/SNCB ARI Disc? Diskette, CD, whatever? From whenever, I do not care.

It would be amazing if I could borrow one, I am trying to preserve copies of these however they seem to be lost in piles of trash. If you know somebody who has one happy to put a copy of it for the world to enjoy planning trains 90s style!
(If I have enough i might reverse engineer it to ship up to date schedules for it)
