Such a shame.
Is that the same every wednesday?
Thinking of paying a visit but 19:00 is a little early for me to come down due to other commitments.
Is the time flexible?
Tearing my hair out
What should be a nice , peaceful Sunday morning in the garden with a coffee and some light reading is being spoiled by some inconsiderate so and so that considers it ok to pressure wash their patio for what is coming up for 2 hours now.
How dirty is your patio ?
Why does it need pressure washing ?
Why is it taking so long ?
Can't you just use a stiff yard brush?
I fully expect a petrol mower next
and then a BBQ belching nastiness over my laundry

Cars
Operating systems
Comms

had two heltec v3 overheat and fail , one dropped off the roof of my car when I drove off and forgot to put it back inside. The final one, the USB connector failed after multiple connect / disconnections of the cable. I do have a Seeed NRF that is physically fine but I accidentally overwrote the boot partition and don't have a flasher hardware to fix it .
just as well these devices aren't particularly expensive.

meanwhile 'core is flourishing here.
Still a few stragglers on 'tastic but there is room for both.
I used to listen to Scott Mills on radio one some years ago.
Whatever the reason for his sacking , and the Mirror suggests alcohol may be involved , it is a shame but he won't be without work for long.
I am reminded of this Armstrong and Miller clip

this should mean that when other nodes interact with it , their data is uploaded to the server and start to show as active

same idea , however , different mqtt address.
to update the third party map you need to have your mqtt address set to
mqtt.meshtastic.liamcottle.net
with username and password set to :-
uplink
more details on the map page

people will inevitably forsake privacy for convenience. The only success I ever had outside of my family was Signal , back when it also did SMS to non signal users. I have also attempted to get people to use :-
#Berty
#Briar
with zero success but have a few people migrated to #simplex which is cool but flakey on notifications.
No one I know uses #bitchat
