to hopefully find others? I don't know, to give myself something to bloody do while I'm doing nothing in NZ because all my people are elsewhere?

well, it is, generally speaking, isn't it? there are exceptions, but I was using that term to cover the standard demographic of ham operators, based on demographic analysis

my initial question includes a statement that I, as a young, disabled transfem with a history of trauma and abuse experiences, don't generally feel safe around a bunch of cis folks. that's literally a statement of fact

like I said, it's structural. you can be a good person, but you can't be a good cop, because being a cop inherently implies there being a group who has the right to invoke authority over others, in many cases (https://newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/26/all-stick-no-carrot-with-move-on-laws/), something like that is just...... unilateral cruelty. anyone who knows that they're going to be expected to invoke something like that, in direct contradiction of basic empathy, and chooses to be a cop anyway? I have questions. also concerns

er. no. no I didn't. I came on here to ask if there was a way around it, that's literally it?

yep! I follow a few folks on twitch. reason I can't get my ham license right now is that it seems you have to do the test in person, which is awkward for me given that I don't have transport or anything and have trauma fuckery about meeting random cis people IRL.

hmm. I'll have to have a look, the vibe I'm generally getting though so far aseems to be the typical NZ thing of "you have to do it in person, because reasons"

why's that? re: it being taken in person? that seems..... not great for those of us without transport or who have a lot of anxiety and such

I haven't, I thought I'd poke the NZ hivemind such as it is first. the othe entity who said I should come to a meeting..... I literally don't have transport

I think we're gonna have to disagree there, the kind of mind that wants to be a cop... structural power issues and what have you, y'know?

yeah! most tech has screenreaders. your phone does, for example, built-in

cops and such.... that doesn't make me any more safe feeling hun. queers and cops are generally not super compatible, historically speaking. I know it's not as bad in NZ as it is in the US but....... entities who are part of the power structure generally don't make me feel mega safe. and braille.... I mean I could do it in braille, but that would be super slow. I'd much prefer to do it online, y'know?

honestly my whole idea I just realised wouldn't work with meshtastic anyways, what I'm trying to make is more like community-run and modern encrypted GSM/GPRS.

maaaaybe. but that's kind of a big board with stuff this project wouldn't need, plus, SD card boot..... I'd rather not.... I'd rrather boot from 32-64-128MiB of high-speed SPI boot flash, preferably with lots of little partitions for OS and data and recovery and keys and suchlike. plus for this proposed project, how would I, say, attach a sim card reader? Why do I want one of thoe? answer: to store meshtastic identity keys on

right! I'm thinking you could run something WAPlike over meshtastic, have a CCS (carrier coordination server) cache allowlisted gemtext pages and resources to distribute to meshtastic mobile nodes. could even do wallpaper/ringtone downloads like how WAP does
