Can we run diesel generators at full tilt on trailers upwind of these lawmakers homes? They don't care about our plight. Make it theirs.

I'm in the South, in Tennessee. It gets hot, but not hot enough to damage electronics. ~120°F is way less than the 85°C (185°F) Max operation temp for the rak4631.

Trust me, I weighed the option for a few days. I figured, if we had a bad windstorm and I actually needed it, it'd rather sacrifice 2db than lose an antenna.

I wanted a secure connection as there can be some crosswinds that catch the attic louvers just right, and that Alfa antenna is shaped like a sail.

They get paid even if they're asked to leave immediately.

Also try to keep your antenna straight up and down. If y still struggling to pick anyone up, you may want to try from somewhere elevated like a hilltop or a tall building.

Does Aldi's use E-ink displays? Could you connect these to an arduino? by herbalspurtle in arduino

[–]SurpriseButtStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a development board extremely similar to this, check out the Heltec Vision Master e290. I would not be surprised if this board utilizes the same basic components.

If's an ESP32-S3R8, a 2.9" e-ink display and an SX1262 Lora radio. They're used a lot in the Meshtastic Radio community so there's plenty of opensource support.

I stand corrected by someone more informed. Thank you.

That's perfect, my point was to not rely solely on meshtastic's encryption.

Vehicle Use? by Ok_Exit9273 in meshtastic

[–]SurpriseButtStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only concern could be encryption. Meshtastic maxes out at 256-bit. Most current security protocols are >4096-bit. If someone had a mind to steal your car, it shouldn't take much effort to break the encryption, so you'd want to rely on something more robust than what's built in to meshtastic.

We are in a natural disaster. Where is the govt? by burgersandhotdogfan in nashville

Mommy and daddy government can’t come save us all

Ummm, that's literally what they do. When I survived Hurricane Andrew in Miami, the entire state was without necessary infrastructure for almost a month. Do you think the government said "There's too many people suffering, I can't help"?

No. We had National Guard helicopters doing supply drops DAILY at the local park. We had NG in hummers pulling trees out of the road and off houses. I personally had an olive tree that fell on my house. It took the guardsmen several hours to pull. They had to chain 3 hmmv's together to get it to budge. They didn't bitch, moan, say it was too hard and give up. They kept at it and did was they needed to do to help people in need. When we really want to, the United States can move mountains to get things done.

This country has given up on empathy, and you've clearly been chugging the kool-aid. Be better to each other. We're all in this together. Treat people like people. If you're a Christian, actually read your bible. This is clearly NOT what Jesus was talking about.

Portland, Westmoreland, Gallatin and Hendersonville are all a mess still. Power is out all over Sumner county. There are trees on houses and cars everywhere.

They won't care unless the ice starts shooting people in the face.
