  • Not necessarily, if you frequently reference satellite imagery like in the open street map community, you'll notice that colors and saturation cary wildly between satellites, because they use different techniques to get clearer pictures through various atmospheric effects, and some techniques give greyscale output which may just be combined with color data without much regard for aesthetics. For many applications, color is unnecessary, so many sources just don't bother touching up the colors. It's totally believable that both images are as-is from their respective sources.

  • How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?

  • My *arrstack DBs are part of my backed up portion, so they'll remember what I have downloaded in my non-backed up portion.

  • Same here, ~30TB currently but my personal artifacts portion is only like 2TB, which is very affordable with rsync.net, which conveniently has an alerts setting if more than X kb hasn't changed in Y days. (I have my Synology set up to spit out daily security reports to meet that amount, so even if I don't change anything myself I won't get bugged)

  • VPN only with ID check in UK?

    Jump

  • Not necessarily, sure the average person will have a much harder time, but inevitably, word of mouth networks form and people quickly share which VPN isn't currently caught by the blocks. That's how it is in mainland China, and they have very strict DPI going on so the word of mouth workarounds are like "use this shadowsocks provider" etc

  • VPN only with ID check in UK?

    Jump

  • I think the idea is that any VPN that doesn't comply gets IP blocked. But that's obviously a cat and mouse game since VPN services are a dime a dozen and you can always rent a VPS and tunnel to a respectable VPN through it.

  • Lmao at the person comparing this to leftist infighting. Yeah let's not infight over a genocide. That surely ranks high up on the list of trivial things we shouldn't draw a line in the sand on.

  • Jesus nut

    Jump

  • I think it might actually be photoshopped to look like a print, because that's the same picture that's on the Wikipedia page for Jesus Nut, with the same hand, background, and shadows, except on Wikipedia it's obviously a metal part. I spent way too long comparing them trying to figure out if they shopped a 3D print over the real one or colored and textured it to look like a print, and I think it's the latter.

  • The most notable difference is that meshtastic has range in the order of miles. At least 1 mile even with bad antennas but with other nodes nearby to repeat your messages, 20 miles is not hard to do.

  • Anyone familiar with LoRa Meshtastic stuff?

  • The encryption keys are generated on the device but can be exported in the app / through the API so you can back it up or migrate nodes. As for spoofing protection, it's mainly keeping your key secret and the fact that each device Mac address shows up as a specific color. I believe there's a warning if you see a device Mac with a new key from before (in case someone spoofs your Mac but doesn't have your key), but if you were to import your key into a new device I don't think there's any warning to others besides noticing the different Mac address / color.

    And yeah the L1 looks really good - it uses the same nrf chip and lora radio as the rak4631 and uses one of the 2 gps options of the rak4631 (it might be slightly better than the other one which I picked but probably doesn't matter unless you're in an area where gps is tough). If I didn't have the rak and I didn't want to build (and didn't like the slightly less polished look of the wismesh builds), the L1 would definitely be a contender.

  • Ooh let me info dump... I used meshtastic 5-6 years ago but recently got back into it

    I just have a preference for using it over Bluetooth because I prefer typing on my phone, so I can mainly give thoughts from that perspective. The lilygo t-deck has a BlackBerry keyboard iirc so if you like BlackBerry style keyboard then that might be a good option for you. If you want a different kind of small keyboard, maybe the t-lora pager is for you.

    I had a T-beam early on but the earlier variant has the antenna sticking out the middle sideways, so I was always concerned it would snap off accidentally. Both old and new I believe use 18650, which makes it not very thin, so I lost interest in them.

    Lately I went all in on nodes I can use with my phone where I just have to carry it, preferably with 0 screens for extra battery life or buttons, just charge, turn on, and pair and do everything from the app. Nowadays the app is so much better than it used to be, I have a few nits but it doesn't feel buggy like it used to.

    One I use now is a custom rak4631 with the tiniest base board and gps, paired with a medium (non stubby) flexible antenna that I would guess is 5dbi in a 3D printed case - only things on the outside are the reset button, USB c port, and antenna (I skipped the screen and user button). It's pretty small in the hand, pretty good range I guess? (my longest single hop contacts on longfast are supposedly around 13 miles), but haven't tested battery life since I'm not on the go much. It should be good though because it's an nrf, which is superior to the esp based ones in battery life if you compare like with like. I used to have a bit of Bluetooth pairing trouble after the first connection but it's been behaving lately - forgetting it and repairing it fixes it and no settings are lost, and messages seem to stay so no big deal I guess.

    The other I'm using now is the wismesh tag, since it's also a very simple screenless single button, also nrf based, flat node that you can more easily pocket. No assembly, comes pre-flashed and it's a very polished plastic slab so great form factor. It also has a beeper that plays an annoying jingle when a message is received, and for some reason just turning off beeper alerts doesn't work, you have to toggle off the beeper setting. Oh well. As expected, the range is much worse since the antenna is internal, the furthest single hop contacts on longfast appear to be 5.5mi.

    There are a bunch more options that I can't go over in detail but it's worth checking out heltec (all esp based except the T114) and lilygo (like t-echo), and the seeed L1 is really enticing me, there's a lot of similarly small options with screens among them, watch out for ones that don't have gps if you care about showing your exact or approximate location circle to others, and some have WiFi which I don't care about so mine don't 🤷‍♂️ also the SX1262 Lora radio is the recommended one, which my choices use. I based my decisions on the devices list: https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/

    Overall I think I like my rak better, but if I was in a more crowded place and could rely more on nearby nodes, and went outside more, or if I wanted to lend someone one, the wismesh tag could be handy.

    Also in case you don't know, aside from the wismesh tag, I believe all of their other products are basically pre-assembled RAKs in custom enclosures - not a bad thing if a rak would fit your needs but you don't want to put it together.
