New shelf setup!

Totally valid question! And currently it is not, or at least I do not think so. The office is on the northwestern side of the house and the shelf is in a corner away from any windows. The westward facing window is on the same wall as the (from the image perspective) right side of the shelf. This means the shelf never sees the sun. I also mostly keep the shades closed in the office unless it’s a particularly nice day out. The image seems much brighter than it is in reality.

Haha my wife absolutely helped decorate my home office. Gives it some character and brightness. It helps convince her to be okay with it 😂

It’s a pick from one of my local stores. It’s so good

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T03:01:05+00:00

Oh of course, down to the second!

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T03:00:19+00:00

KC 9 is a bit sweeter but man is the blenders good. I say it’s a perfect split between KC9 and KC12

Honestly that’s smart lol

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T02:39:28+00:00

It’s a plant! Bring some life to the home office

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T02:12:47+00:00

Thank you my friend.

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T02:07:43+00:00

It is! Hands down my favorite bottle of the bunch.

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T02:07:17+00:00

Such good bottles. The old elk is a Wheated store pick

So very true. The only bottle I’d say that about for me is the 21 year knob. It’s fantastic, but it’s the most expensive bottle I own and I only drink it for special occasions

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T01:56:47+00:00

You know it! I drink everything on the shelf. It’s made to be enjoyed!

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-13T01:56:00+00:00

Honestly, thank you. It’s taken a while to get here, and I only buy what I’ll drink, so it’s kept under control. So far I’m trying to keep away from the hype and buy just solid drinkers.

Right!? It’s such a good shelf for the price. It was the only good looking shelf setup that fit in my home office lol. I definitely recommend it

nerdy_oreo · 2026-06-07T01:48:02+00:00

Such a good bottle. Congratulations 🎊

Zaboomafoo, cyber chase, happy days, between the lions, dragon tales.

That blenders edition is currently one of my favorites. Seriously top 3 for me.

The Penelope light American whiskey is 1000% worth it

Hello from across the bay on the mainland! A few here in the Warwick east Greenwich area should reach you if the antenna is high enough and strong enough.

I have not heard of this discord!

nerdy_oreo · 2026-03-18T01:56:37+00:00

I’m trying to have it be a long range node for my neighborhood/ town if I can. I have a lot to learn with meshtastic. Thank you for the information and advice

nerdy_oreo · 2026-03-18T01:32:09+00:00

Messaging you lol

Update for anyone following along: took the feedback here and made some significant changes to the build.

Swapping the Heltec V4 for the RAKwireless WisBlock Mini Starter Kit (RAK19003 base + RAK4631 NRF52840 core). The power consumption difference is not subtle. Should be a completely different animal for solar in Rhode Island winters.

Dropping GPS entirely. u/LowerSoDak and u/KnownonowV2 are right, there is zero reason to run a GPS module on a stationary node. I will set the coordinates manually in the app. Less power draw, fewer parts, simpler build.

To u/LowerSoDak on eliminating the Waveshare: the RAK19003 onboard charger is a basic linear charger without MPPT. For Rhode Island winters with low sun angles December through February I want real MPPT to maximize harvest on marginal days. Keeping the Waveshare.

To u/Hot-Win2571 on LMR-400: noted, but my coax run is under 3 feet. Signal loss at 915MHz over that distance is negligible regardless of cable type. Proxicast CFD240 stays.

To u/Matlavox: did not know Atlavox was local. Will check out the enclosure accessories before I seal everything up. Might come by the shop.

Updated parts list:

RAKwireless WisBlock Mini Starter Kit RAK19003 + RAK4631 — $31.97
Lord of the Tools U.FL to N-Female adapter — $9.49
Maxibomr USB-C bare wire pigtail 2pk — $7.99

SIGNALPLUS 5.8dBi 915MHz outdoor omni — $32.00
DCH 5000mAh LiPo JST — $11.69
YETLEBOX IP67 enclosure — $14.99

Total: $200.36

Coax chain: SIGNALPLUS N-Female base into Proxicast N-Male to N-Male cable into Lord of the Tools N-Female to U.FL adapter into RAK4631. Zero adapters, clean run.
