There are those with screens too, but I really don't need those 25-08-26 11:33:27: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: I've been looking at doing a local MESH system and this LoRa addon seems like a good fit. 25-08-26 11:34:19: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: For your case, I'm blanking on the names now, but I stumbled on a system designed for home automation that is designed for many small messages, and has a subscribe publish format. 25-08-26 11:34:51: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: ZigBee? 25-08-26 11:35:47: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: Not positive, but that sounds right. 25-08-26 11:36:00: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: This is the module I got: https://a.co/d/fWZ8fx0 25-08-26 11:36:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: With it being LoRa UART interface, wiring and coding was easier than many of the other things I was playing with. 25-08-26 11:38:19: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Here's a dev board I found that has it all built in: https://heltec.org/project/wireless-stick-lite-v2/ 25-08-26 11:38:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I have some heltec boards with the OLED built in too, but haven't programmed that one yet 25-08-26 11:40:11: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I never understood (or liked) how a single pin can be used in multiple functions. 25-08-26 12:52:34: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: the screens show your AMMO LEVEL 25-08-26 12:52:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: lora is super slow 25-08-26 12:52:51: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: there is ZigBee and Z-Wave for home automation. Both are also slow and localized. 25-08-26 12:53:27: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: define 'used for multiple functions' 25-08-26 12:53:50: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: they are muxed internally, so one pin might be muxed to the PWM generator and the i2c controller and the sd card. 25-08-26 12:53:54: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: but you configure that through software. 25-08-26 13:20:06: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: When you look at the pinouts for any of these boards, you'll often see multiple functions associated with the pin. For example, if I wanted to use pin 2 for something (it's usually assigned to PIN_LED), I now have a flashing LED on my board 25-08-26 13:21:56: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: yeah so you end up not using pin2 because it's in use for the system led. 25-08-26 13:22:36: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: it's worse when you want to use the two functions that are bound to a pin at the same time, but they are only bound to the one pin :middle_finger: 25-08-26 13:22:47: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: aka you cant get fucked 25-08-26 13:22:53: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: pick a different soc 25-08-26 13:54:21: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: That's what I'm generally referring to. PIN_LED was a simple visual example. 25-08-27 11:40:59: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: It is estimated that the whole surface of the earth could be covered with all the salt found in the ocean. 25-08-28 02:38:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Q@Mongoose: Life’s better with friends.

Drop a few in there. 25-08-28 19:10:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I'm planning to not be around tomorrow so I'm giving you the OMG Fact for tomorrow (Friday, August 29) 25-08-28 19:10:47: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact for Friday, August 29: The loudest natural sound on Earth is of a volcano eruption. 25-08-28 19:11:19: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i believe that 25-08-28 19:11:28: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: wait, vs a nuclear explosion? 25-08-28 19:11:32: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: oh natural. 25-08-28 19:28:13: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I was a bit surprised, until I thought about it more and can't really see something else making more noise. A catastrophic earthquake? I don't think it makes that much noise as it's ground shift vs a complete explosion. 25-08-28 23:24:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: from wot i've read, even the Tsar Bomba wasn't as loud as Krakatoa. But a nuke also releases most energy as light and radiation, so they're not easy to compare. 25-08-29 13:19:50: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: boom boom 25-08-30 13:41:46: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Weekend: The cost of commercials during halftime at the Super Bowl could feed the entire world's refugee population of 62 million... twice. 25-08-30 13:48:16: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: two meals for the refugees? 25-08-30 13:48:20: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: not exactly a compelling argument. 25-08-30 13:48:53: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: are they really refugees if you don't let them escape? 25-08-31 13:44:02: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Cratylus (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: :( 25-08-31 23:15:03: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Salius (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i wonder if employment will ever happen 25-08-31 23:15:07: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Salius (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: or if this is the end 25-09-01 16:45:16: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: Put two straws in your mouth: one inside a drink and one outside it.

These species towered 7.3 meters high and up to 0.9 meters wide. Scientists found ancient fossils of these gigantic structures and were able to determine that they were fungi. 25-09-03 12:06:17: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Theodor Seuss Geisel dropped out of Oxford before getting his PhD; he called himself Dr. Seuss as a nod to his father. 25-09-03 12:43:09: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: good guy dr seuss 25-09-03 12:43:21: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: bring back giant mushrooms 25-09-04 09:01:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: ...ursda... 25-09-04 11:28:18: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: A lightning bolt strikes so quickly it could circle the globe eight times in just one second. 25-09-04 16:15:28: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Cratylus (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: hmm 25-09-04 16:15:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Cratylus (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: isnt that just the speed of light 25-09-04 16:16:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Cratylus (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: do we know that lightning actually operates at exactly that speed? i could have sworn i'd seen time lapse photography of a strike in progress, which seems impossible if it operated at the universal constant 25-09-04 16:18:14: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Cratylus (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: "A lightning strike's visible flash travels at the speed of light, but the electrical discharge itself is much slower, around 270,000 mph (approximately 120,000 m/s), moving in rapid, stepping bursts. High-speed cameras, capturing thousands of frames per second, reveal the "stepped leader" approaching the ground and the bright "return stroke" surging upward through the formed plasma channel, a process too fast for the human eye to see." 25-09-04 16:18:23: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Cratylus (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i meant high speed, not time lapse, but yeah 25-09-04 20:02:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: If the speed of electrical discharge is what they are measuring, then the OMG Fact is wrong, since earth is 40m meters circumference. However, if it is the speed of light, then the ~8 times is accurate. 25-09-05 10:36:37: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: so, US hit an alleged "drug boat" from Venezuela - but I just can NOT find a map showing where it happened. 25-09-05 10:36:50: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: that seems way odd to me. 25-09-05 11:51:42: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: Males of some praying mantis species cannot copulate while their head is attached.
