I'm digging down a deep rabbit hole on the font wars of the 1980s and PostScript et al: cubic Bézier curves v. conics v. quadratic B-splines and mathematical taste v. typographical beauty. Of course, I don't understand it (at) all but I'm enjoying myself. #Nerd

I've been reading about Reticulum, which is a network stack that can run over just about anything, including LoRa.

It’s not compatible with Meshtastic so it's either/or with choosing one to run on a node.

It's kinda interesting. It's intended to allow running any application over the network and it will be securely and privately routed.

Meshtastic and Reticulum aren't really comparable. Meshtastic is more of a messaging application that uses the LoRa radio. Reticulum, by itself, is infrastructure to put applications on.

There are messaging applications that work on Reticulum using Lightweight Extensible Message Format (LXMF). I think these applications can work similar to how Meshtastic works, though I'm not sure if it can do anything like a "default" channel like Meshtastic for just broadcasting messages.

I guess I have another rabbit hole to explore.

There doesn't appear to be any iOS apps for talking to a Reticulum LoRa node, so not sure this is something I'll commit to.

My stationary node will continue to run Meshtastic for now.

"If you want to buy a bespoke, brand-new machine to cut your own vinyl records at home, there seems to be just one man who can help you. Ulrich Sourisseau’s workshop is in a disused railway station in a remote part of the Black Forest in Germany, and he is in extremely high demand."

Starting all over again here in mastodon, let me re-introduce myself:
Spanish leathercrafter, armour-maker, fantasy-lover, appearance-deceiver, wing-witch, always-learning and sapphic-fangirl.
I love a good challenge (as long as my regular job and my neurodivergent ass let me).
All 100% handmade (my only mechanic tools are a dremmel and a sewing machine I still didn't learn how to use)

Two pics in vertical. The first shows the right side of a green and golden fantasy leather helmet, with border decorations, protection for the cheeks but not the rest of the face and some leaves made with modelled leather and painted in diferent colours; the helm is on a head mannequin made of leather too The second pic is a woman wearing a red and golden leather armour (cuirass, corset, pauldrons, tassets, bracers, greaves and a winged tiara, all decorated with viking inspired knots and filigrees), a viking spear and a round shield
Collage of two vertical pics. The first is a very close photo to a leathercarving, the face and torso of a witch, with a hat, a long braid and a tunic waving, painted in black with some highlights of the volumes embossed, and with the sunlight making the embossed volumes standing up. The second is a pic of four wing bracers painted differently (golden one, red and yellow like a phoenix other, a rainbow the third and a ravenous blue the fourth), all with feathers textured and undercut to make them look real
Collage of two horizontal pics. The first is a cilindric case with a cap and a long strap, and an square board game Tak, from the novel The name of the wind. Decorated with leaves a flowers motifs, the Tak logo in the center of the board and the top of the cap and in different tones of brown. The second are three sporran bags with lids crafted as medieval shields: a simple steel triangular shield, a viking one textured with the wood planks and a noble coat of arms in red with a bronze griffin and a silver hippocampus carved in the leather
Collage of two horizontal pics. The first is a close up to some triangular pieces of leather perfored through the whole borders and with numbers embossed in the center. They are painted in white, blues and grays making it look like marble. The second are 15 flowers (tulips, orchids, magnolias, lillies and roses) modelled from leather and painted in different colours (from realistic flowers to fantasy combinations of colours and even metallic ones). On the top left corner, some pairs of leaves also modelled in leather

So the plan is this. First my #fairphone. I decided to give a #UbuntuTouch a try first because getting away from android sounds nice. If that's not working for me, then i believe I'll bonder between #e/os #calyxos and #lineageos or maybe #grapheneos needs to think realy hard then because.. Well.. I'm open for information from experiences of others.

AFTER I'm happy with my phone. I'll move to my mediapc. It's a hp mini thing.. I had #linuxmint in it before, but then we had television that had weird stuff happening and I couldn't get them to work together, so currently there's win10, but now I got, for free, newish tv so I'll definitely want to go back to linux. I'm thinking of #zorinos and if it's good then probably but it on my school laptop also. There's #fedora currently, it's working and quite stable, but there's also lots of aspects that I don't really like.

So that's my #nerd plans.. When I have time.

But please, don't tell my boss, he already has gotten a smell, that I know more about IT than I feel comfortable..

Wow I didn't know that! I've used them, apart from tape on an Akai and Revox tape recorder. I hated noise (the hissing sound, not the high number of dB's) and now I could use Dolby in my ears for combating Tinnitus...

There's so incredibly much to learn!

One of things I've been making are tiny electrostatic deflectors for use in an "Ion Beam Pattern Generator" - extreme requirements such as suitable for use in UHV (Ultra High Vacuum), high voltages etc.

Being a tech nerd is fun!

Yesterday the barista at my coffeeshop told me the code on the bathroom door was:

_"zero three twenty-eight hashtag"_

... and I had to suppress a reaction to them calling the pound sign a hashtag lest they know how incredibly old and nerdy I am.

@crecente @stopTDV Jitsi is an open source, encrypted voice/video conferencing program. Unfortunately, it is made by nerds and hard to install/run. I'm about to launch into seeing if I can get it up and running on my server (not for public use, but to see if I can help others install it).

We need the nerd army to come through on video FOSS and encrypted conferencing alternatives. (Maybe there are some and I'm not aware).
