First Helen of Troy, now this. What is the world coming to.

Vi Hart is great. She hasn’t made videos in a long while but her old ones are still around.

This is an ink jet printer that uses HP print head / ink cartridges… Fwiw, repairable impact printers have been around longer than computers. Think of old fashioned teleprinters. Noisy, but likely to survive the apocalypse.

Similar set of problems.

Sticker tag sounds like NFC. Certainly a bluetooth tag is possible too. Thing is, Bluetooth range is a few dozen meters tops. Airtag works by turning the entire Iphone population into a giant surveillance network, so if any iphone anywhere detects your airtag, it informs the Apple mothership, which in turn reports to you where your airtag was just seen.

Only comparable long distance approach I can think of without that is a cellular tracker. Those exist (search: cellular gps pet tracker) but it’s a much bigger box with a subscription plan of its own. Someone else mentioned meshtastic so maybe that’s an alternative in some places, or a LoRA tag instead of a bluetooth tag.

45 minutes bah. With cat > /dev/null I can “read” her slop novel in 0.001 seconds. She’ll never be able to keep up either.

I just have a self hosted Nextcloud Chat. Not E2EE but that’s ok since I run the server. Can be used from a browser, keeps scrollback, etc. UI is usable though not great.

That’s doable right now pretty much, in that the cost of existing batteries is in proportion to the other stuff you’ll need.

Home storage generally uses LFP which is around 170 WH/kg. 270 is NMC which is used in stuff like mobile phones where the trade offs are different.

Fans of The Wizard of Speed and Time might remember the sushi pizza scene. Yecch! :)

David Bowie so he can contact ground control.

Grace Slick and the rest of that band, i.e. starship crew.

Intergalactic Touring Band, you get the idea.

Craigslist.

Costco rotisserie chicken is an insane bargain if you’re into that sort of thing.

The prime minister has endured years of abuse on the social media platforms he now seeks to regulate.

I can’t understand what you’re asking. If you want server to server relays, that’s IRC that has been around since the previous millenium. Matrix also has something like that. If you want single independent servers, that’s regular chat rooms.

I’m on my 2nd Motorola G series. Very good hardware value and the 1st was almost bloat free. I had to debloat the 2nd but it’s mostly ok now. I keep hearing cringe things about Samsung. No idea about Xiaomi.

Sounds like irc?
