@dave 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

@stephan 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.

@ratcatcher@beige.party 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

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

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
