Danke an alle, die uns beim Norddeutschen Funktag an unserem Tisch und im Vortrag zum POCSAG-Pager-Projekt besucht haben!
Es war eine wirklich schöne Veranstaltung mit guten Gesprächen und interessantem Austausch.
10/10 would assembly here again.
Wir freuen uns aufs nächste Event :)

Morgen, 31.5., sind wir an der TUHH (Gebäude A) in Hamburg-Harburg und machen eine kleine Assembly beim Norddeutschen Funktag — im Raum oben schräg gegenüber vom Flohmarkt.
Bei uns gibt es Pager/POCSAG und voraussichtlich auch ein wenig Meshtastic, also besucht uns gern oder grüßt mal auf Long Fast :)

LILYGO T-LoRa Pager is an ESP32-powered communications device with LoRa, NFC, and GPS
Pagers may have largely gone out of fashion in the age of the smartphone, but the T-LoRa Pager from LILYGO puts a modern spin on the class communications device. It’s a portable device with a 2.33 inch widescreen display, a thumb keyboard for tapping out messages, and support for LoRa, NFC, and GPS (GNSS), theoretically allowing you to communicate without relying on cellular networks.
It’s […]
@kallemp I did in fact already thought about a similar project and device.
- As for the anonymous reading / recieval: Using license-free #ISM bands like 27MHz #CB radio to send messages & then recieving them like a #pager would work, only making the transmitter detectable during trabsmission via triangulation, which may have a too narrow window of a few seconds given #OTP doesn't have #PGP-Style overhead. Making it feasible for using #POCSAG even...
I merely focussed on airgapped data transfers as being able to do OTP encryption wasn't feasible until the advent of legitimate 1TB microSD cards and thus negligible impact on key logistics, to even then one could update those OTA in a broadcast encrypted with per-user-/device-keys if that's feasible.
While I agree with all of this in theory, I think it's probably reasonable for people writing shellscripts today to assume the presence of `less`. It was even in SunOS 5...
`more` may have been improved over time, but to the best of my knowledge it still doesn't do everything `less` can, like switching to tail mode with `F` while viewing a log file. FreeBSD doesn't even ship `more` anymore (anyless?), I don't think - `man more` shows the manpage for less. So I think this is a case where literally, "less is more".
I confess I haven't used `pg`. Debian doesn't even provide it.
Including bash-isms in a supposedly portable script is definitely beyond the pale, though 😉

EasterHegg was fun and we had many great conversations about our pager project (and adjacent nerdy topics)!
If you didn't meet us there — or visited our table and would like to learn more —, the next opportunity to meet us is going to be at Norddeutscher Funktag, a ham radio event at Hamburg University of Technology.

There are always more features to implement and bugs to fix ... no egg-ception even on a Sunday at #EH22

Our second transmitter is connected and on air!
You can find it in the Hardware Hacking Area next to the table of draussenfuchs.de
Please do not touch the antenna and respect the tape ;)

For our transmitters, we need an operating voltage of 12V.
Thank you to our friends from DL0TUH (amateur radio station of Hamburg University of Technology) for lending us two modified computer PSUs for EasterHegg!

You can receive our transmissions at EasterHegg if you bring your own pager tuned to 439.9875 MHz :)

A big milestone has been reached — our new test board design is done! Production of the PCBs is going to start soon and should be done well in time for EasterHegg.
Nice feature: it's compatible with different sizes of displays.

I don't suppose there's a #terminal escape sequence that causes it to display some text in a new window? Because that would be an interesting alternative to a traditional #pager: instead of paging through the output of a program, it is displayed in its entirety in a separate window.
I think #macOS used to do this with man pages, but the feature seems to have been removed.
