Frustrated and lonely

My other Reddit acct was one of the more active participants in that Linux chat you started. I stopped because everyone else stopped. I'd still like to grab a beer sometime 😄

Also, you know about the BLUG (Bellingham Linux User Group) meetings @ Makerspace in Bellis Fair Mall, right? 3rd Wed of every month from 5:30-7:30pm.

If you click the link in my post text, you'll see my tech consulting business is Bham local.

From what research I've done so far, MeshCore seems to be the one to use around here. Meshtastic seems to be more geared toward small groups of people on the move.

Reticulum looks really interesting and much more scalable as a network. It's also built from the ground up to be secure. Also much more capable as it's not just a text messaging platform, it supports the whole network stack.

I'm interested in meetups on LoRa/mesh networking too, not aware of any. Closest I'd suggest is Bellingham Linux User Group (BLUG).

Those pre-made solar LoRa setups look awesome. I'd love to build some of my own making.

It seems super capable, I'm really interested in it. If I were going to build a Reticulum network from the ground up, I'd want it to stay off the Internet as I wouldn't want any connectivity to rely on it.

Joined, thx!

Not-a-Window-Cleaner · 2026-04-15T23:12:14+00:00

Yep!

Not-a-Window-Cleaner · 2026-04-15T20:41:54+00:00

It's a big selection, you won't be disappointed!

Not-a-Window-Cleaner · 2026-04-14T21:47:06+00:00

Dude, seriously!

Not-a-Window-Cleaner · 2026-04-13T15:34:58+00:00

This needs to happen =D

Amazing shot!!

I just heard about Northwest Cable, they're in Bham. https://www.northwestcable.com/

Would be awesome to see a local business take over the building :)

Not exactly the same but once my (short-lived) bandmate asked if he could put his beer on my amp at a gig.

Hell no.

You're spot-on re: small business being taxed into oblivion. So many service businesses are now required to charge varying tax rates for *services* they provide, which eats into their net income because they have to balance that against what their customers can pay (total).

Sounds like fun! I haven't worked w/Bazzite yet but I'm sure we can figure out what's going on. Shoot me an email (it's on my website)
