love all things security, homelab, economics, travel, Home Renovation, and having aspirations of living like a creepy old, bearded man in a cabin running a small hosting environment on solar....Everyone needs goals.

I’m we are planning on a 10am meetup at REI, and then heading south down the Platte to Bear Creek Greebbelt. We will try and choose a place for lunch, and a beer on the way back closer to noon.

I’ll take it as my #nerding for the week, but it lands in #gardening.
I built a three bin #compost bin last weekend. I had transferred my old pile, and made better care for layering browns and old/greens. A week later I have finally gotten my top 12” inches at +140 degrees. I think that might be my best over 120 degrees before!

I would like to thank those that made it out last night. We had a few new faces, so that is always nice to see.

Special thanks to @technick for the sticker drop off. Everyone loves stickers!

Also our next bike ride should be next on Sunday, June 1st. All are welcome to join.
Edit: totally forgot the picture!

New from 404 Media: Trump just said his "Golden Dome" project would start soon.

Scientists we've spoken to say it's pure fantasy.

Happy May to all, and hope you had a good May the 4th as well.

This is your monthly reminder for our meetup May, 21st at 7pm. @impropercity

As summer is upon us I would like to remind the community to get outside, and have some fun in the sun! We ride bikes and others below.

One of my favorite recommendations is free music. My two favorites are
1. Levitt Pavilion
levittdenver.org
2. Denver City Park Jazz
cityparkjazz.org

This one I am planning on talking a lot more about #meshtastic, and hopefully getting some of you that want to join me down the rabbit hole. Links below.

Meetup is normal day April 16th at 7pm @impropercity.

Tons of links out there, including the main site, but here are two primers I liked.

Meetup tomorrow night 7pm!

Sounds like we may get snow everywhere around #Denver, but not in the city itself.

If anyone wants to talk to me about #meshtastic I would to chat tomorrow. I bought some dev boards and just need to put them together, so any experiences welcome.

Meetup reminder: we meet next week, 7pm in the #Denver #RiNo area.

A thought until then: I have been hearing some people listing remote work as a security risk.

I will admit it could lessen some DPRK workers, as they need to be in-person, but dubious elsewhere.

Thoughts?

March has arrived and with it, the wind and more than a few gorgeous days.

I know it is a false spring, but if you want to chat more about scheduling a bike ride let’s do that at this month’s meetup.

We meet in two week on March 19th. 7pm at @impropercity.

Sadly, I am stuck in the Arctic cold, and after yesterday’s flight cancelation, and today’s flight is looking little better for me being back in time.

I am just going to just proactively cancel this month’s meetup. Stay warm out there!

Welcome to summer… oh wait, it is just a gorgeous day in February ☀️☀️.

Either way, make the best of it out there before Winter returns. I got on the bike and rode into work today, hope you can do something similar.

This Month’s meetup is February 19th at 7pm.

I think everyone needs to watch this, so funny. #snl
