Map of all the things in Australia that are trying to kill you 😂 #AUStriches

Chilli chocolate stout. I don’t drink much beer but this wasn’t too bad. Quite a strong kick from the chilli though. #beerstr

I reached 1 year of learning Spanish with Duolingo yesterday. While I don't think Duolingo is the perfect way to learn a language, I have definitely made some good progress. I'm now at the point where I can read some things in Spanish and often get a general understanding,although there are still a lot of words I don't know. Responding in Spanish is harder. I wouldn't be able to have an in depth conversation but I know enough that would be useful for travelling (asking for directions, shopping, ordering food etc). What I found has worked for me is doing an average of 5-6 lessons per day (about 15-20 minutes). Less than that and I felt I wasn't making much progress, more and it is sometimes hard to take everything in. The most important things though, which apply generally to achieving most things in life, are persistence and consistency.

Are there any specific Meshtastic firmware versions that are people running and finding to be very stable? This node is being installed next weekend but once it is 25 metres up the tower I will have very limited access for upgrades. I’m hoping I’ll still have bluetooth access from the base of the tower for future OTA upgrades but want it to be stable to start with to avoid having to do that and the possibility of bricking it.. #meshtastic #asknostr View quoted note →

Meowtastic is a simple iOS #Meshtastic client designed for less advanced users. I tried this out tonight and it looks pretty nice. Here is a quick screen recording to give some idea of what the interface looks like. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/meowtastic/id6535862998

I just realised it is only one month to go until my 2 year #nostr anniversary! At least that is according to when nostr.band says I was first active which I think seems correct.

Something a little different to the photos I normally post on Nostr, these are a few photos taken at the local Christmas pageant this morning. #christmas

The privacy issues with modern cars have been brought up before on Nostr but it is good to see this getting some wider coverage. https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/motoring-news/dont-want-you-to-know-chilling-warning-issued-for-modern-connected-cars/news-story/d7ff23698898127d92098d97671ccb4e

I’ve been testing @primal 2.0 with my test npub. It looks great and is very smooth when scrolling the feeds. The read feeds is great for finding long form content. The search also seems to work really well, much better than other Nostr search options I’ve tried. I’ve personally never been a fan of the integrated wallet but I understand why that was done and I’m sure it works well for a lot of users. I’m still using Damus on this npub but I think Primal seems like one of the best options for onboarding new users right now. View quoted note →
