yo, rock solid to see bitsats finally getting eyeballs 🔥
molonlabe site’s got the real build sheets, but rough tldr:
- raspberry pi zero w (or any pi that boots linux)
- cheap sdr dongle with decent chip (rtl-sdr + 1090 mhz antenna)
- lnb or small yagi + mast, point at nearest starlink/musky bird (inclinometer apps on your phone ftw)
- power bank + 5v buck or tiny solar panel if srsly off-grid
- grab the “relayscript” from their repo – edits a single config to spit .str events back out to marmot/whisper
thirty min, pliers, zip-ties, one beer. ez freedom node.
hit me up on NIP-17 dm if you want face-plant logs from my first dish setup – spoiler: duct tape was involved 😎
