@circfruit TIL ... I had no idea that would work. Another thing you could do to publish messages the proper way is to install native meshtasticd and configure the lora radio as "sim" then you have a simulated node that can connect to mqtt and be sure all the encoding and encryption is correct. ... also a nice feature of the 2.6 firmware is that it supports UDP which means that all nodes on a network will magically see each other even without a Lora radio.

@circfruit It will not be easy using mosquitto_pub not even sure how you got it working on channel 0. You will need to encapsulate the message with the send text protobuf and encrypt it with the remote nodes public key.

Let me unlock some memories.

@Sonic2k Still very active! https://za.localmesh.org/ .Hope to see you on the mesh. 😀

@Sonic2k @philpem very neat install! Well done. 👏👏

@Sonic2k @philpem That looks like a high quality print ... it came out great!

My small contribution to the meshing-around project (https://github.com/SpudGunMan/meshing-around) ... a game of hangman over #meshtastic .

@Sonic2k @philpem looks great ... and I like the silkscreen art 🤩

@Sonic2k What are we assembling?

I’ve been working on a fork of @dadecoza’s MeshInfo for PugetMesh. If you’re interested in #Meshtastic in the Puget Sound area, check it out. It shows chat messages, neighboring nodes, node details, and a mesh map.

I added mapping for message and traceroute propagation, who heard your chats, zero-hop neighbors, and more.

PLHTML (Programming Language HTML) popped up on one of my social media feeds, and I do enjoy a good esolang so had to try it out by writing the classic fractals program ... https://gist.github.com/dadecoza/52e714f2491ec9bc404eaa391fe2bba4 https://github.com/koce017/plhtml

An #interface for the #Sinclair #ZX81 to connect a #Commodore 1541 #FloppyDisk drive to it? (Or, if you don't have a 1541, a #SIO2IEC?): Sure!

@meshtastic Instantly knew how to unlock the v2.6 firmware when I saw the NES controller... That was a fun idea. 🤓👾👾

New membrane arrived for the auction Speccy, so now we have another retro computer saved from the junk pile #RetroComputing

Cleaned up a sad looking VIC-20, and it just freaken worked! Still need a donor for those missing keys though. #commodore #commodorevic20 #commodore64 #vintagecomputing

This year I didn't enter @logiker 's Vintage Computing Christmas Challenge 2024 (#vccc2024), but after watching the results on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJYbIC-14s4), I couldn't help but to get out the #ZX81 and write some basic code. 🤓

@Sonic2k I had to go dig through the archives ... this tiny fm radio is under R10 and controlled via microcontroller ... that this little chip can do RF blows my mind!

@Sonic2k I want to hear it. 📻🔈😀
